Okay, so I have a Mosin-Nagant right now and I'm looking to buy a new gun that's like... less crappy. I want a gun that fires really cheap ammo. It seems like .223 is the cheapest of the larger-caliber rounds, so that seems like a good caliber... I'd also like a bolt-action rifle because...

Well, jeeze... Sorry to piss everybody off about me firing a gun for the first time... I was just trying to relate my experience to you guys... So, let me ask you guys a question. If you see a guy waving a glock around in other people's direction and firing it gangster style down the range...

Well, I guess if you have astigmatism they often have to overcorrect, which is what it sounds like is the case for the original poster.

It was that damn Michael Moore and his Columbine movie that did it. I'm glad that political correctness has failed in this case.

So I fired a gun for the first time! I fired a bunch of .22 caliber rifles and pistols with my friends (one of them is an avid survivalist/gun nut and goes to this forum a lot, but I don't know his handle) at this hillarious completely unsupervised range waaaaay far away from the city with...

Does dry firing the rifle hurt it at all? People are telling me that like... dry fire is terrible.

Can you elaborate on that, Hoppy590? I can't seem to get it to do that.

Not one that I know about!

Is that how they had to do it? There's no way to "safely" de-cock it? Like what if the Soviet soldiers were going to sleep? They wouldn't want to have their rifles cocked, but I'm sure they wouldn't want to have to do the pulling-back-on-the-bolt thing and pull the trigger since it could easily...

Wow, dude. Also, how do I de-cock the gun once I've rotated the bolt so that it's ready to fire?

Are any of the parts that the rifle came with useful for cleaning it? It has this like... built-in cleaning rod that screws in right under the barrel, and It also has a bunch of strange metal tools whose function is not obvious from their appearance.

Ahhhhhh! I have to completely disassemble the bolt again?!?! Ugh. My hand is like... cut up from doing that. And I was worried that the firing pin was just going to snap right off since I had to press down on it vertically with like thirty pounds of force...

Well, at least the end of the barrel is like... four feet away from my ears, then!

Does most of the loud noise come from the part of the rifle with the bolt, or from the end of the barrel? It seems like it would come from the part where the bullet is actually ignited, but then silencers wouldn't make sense!

That sucks! It amazes me too how easily I was able to get this thing. I just wrote some basic info down, said "yes" to one question and "no" to all the others, and they just let me walk out with this gun!

Is there any way to get like... dummy bullets that don't fire so that I can load them in and see how it all works? And how did soldiers in World War II fire comfortably without ear protection?

The receiver seems to be round... And it's a triangle with an arrow, and 1942. I don't think I would WANT to fire it because it would probably kill me. It if didn't blow up in my face, it would probably break my shoulder or detatch my retina :-/

I went to a gun show with my friend who is all crazy about exercising his constitutional rights, so he has a ton of guns and knows a lot about them. So I found this Soviet Mosin-Nagant M91/30 rifle for sale at $85. I certainly wasn't expecting to buy a gun, but I thought this was a really...
