    Might be moving to Delaware, any advice?

    Hello Everyone, So I might be moving to Delaware from New Jersey, and I just wanted to know everyone’s thoughts/opinions on the atmosphere of firearms ownership there. Is it a more firearm friendly state? I have been doing some research on Delaware firearms laws and it looks like...

    Mosin Nagant scope options

    Alright, I'll let you know how it shoots. I'm just waiting for some 7.62x54 ammo I ordered a couple days ago to arrive.(Hopefully by this weekend but I don't know) I have a ton of surplus steel core, but I wanted to try some modern production commercial ammo in it because it supposedly has...

    Mosin Nagant scope options

    I put a reproduction PE scope mount that uses 1 inch rings on mine. I got it from here www.accumounts.com The scope is a Nikon Buckmaster 4.5-14x40 with BDC that I bought from Amazon. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to take the rifle to the range yet, so I can't comment on how it preforms...

    Experience with/reservations about buying scope from Amazon?

    I bought a Nikon Buckmaster 4.5-14x40 scope from Amazon two months ago, and it arrived without a scratch and works great. I use Amazon to buy alot of things such as books and games, and I've never had a problem with them.

    Mosin-Nagant 7.62x54 Bullet Weight Questions

    Yeah I clean the gun right away when I get home from the range. I use hoppe's 9 with a boresnake for the barrel, and I unscrew the magazine and clean that with hoppe's as well. The barrel and magazine then get coated in remmington oil to prevent rust. I even put desiccant packs in the gun case...

    Mosin-Nagant 7.62x54 Bullet Weight Questions

    Thanks for the replies, I managed to get a 91/30 with a great barrel and I just wanted to make sure I didn't wear it down too fast or screw it up. The 203 grain soft points look vicious. Does anyone know how much and how quickly they expand?

    Mosin-Nagant 7.62x54 Bullet Weight Questions

    I own a Mosin-Nagant 91/30, and I was wondering if the weight(grain) of the various kinds of 7.62x54 ammunition would negatively affect the barrel's rifling? For example would a 203(or 174 or 180) grain bullet wear the barrel's rifling out faster than a 148 grain? Also will steel core...

    Safety Issues with Steel Plates?

    Thanks for all the information, I just wanted to be sure its safe. I always wear eye protection at the range. I guess I shouldn't use the 7.62x54 steel core if I want the target to last awhile. (noob question) So there is a difference between steel plate and AR500? I thought they were the...

    Safety Issues with Steel Plates?

    I am interested in buying a hanging steel plate (AR600 I think it’s called) to take with me to the shooting range. I saw another shooter using one at the pistol range and it seemed fun, and sometimes paper targets get alittle old. The rules of the shooting range allow them, but I was...

    Would this be a decent scope for a Mosin-Nagant 91/30?

    Right now I’m looking at a Pentax Gameseeker 4 - 12x40 mm Rifle Scope. Would this be a decent scope for a Mosin-Nagant 91/30? Anyone have any experience with these. I really don’t know much about scopes, but the price is good and the reviews are mostly positive. How far can you reasonably...

    Another Mosin-Nagant Scope Mount thread...sorry

    Thanks for the information, I'm liking the look of the PU mount with the weaver rail. Anyone have any long range scope recommendations? Something that can handle the recoil and hold zero? I was looking into "bedding" the gun in the stock more. Why does a "free float" barrel shoot...

    Another Mosin-Nagant Scope Mount thread...sorry

    I know there are tons of Mosin-Nagant threads already, but asking again from time to time can yield new opinions, as maybe more people may have tried this. The barrel on my Mosin-Nagant 91/30 looks flawless and shoots well, so I decided I’m going to attempt a scope mount for a long distance...

    Any real difference between a 22LR hollow point and 22LR solid round?

    Yeah, I was thinking more along the lines of self defense. I live in the suburbs of New Jersey so I won't be shooting small animals like squirrels or rabbits, even though we have thousands of them everywhere. One of the good things about switching to solid rounds would be that I don't have...

    Any real difference between a 22LR hollow point and 22LR solid round?

    Thanks for all the responses. The Sig Mosquito is my first handgun, my father talked me into getting it instead of a Sig in 9mm. He thought it would serve as a good training gun, and this was also when ammo prices were at their highest, so .22lr ammo was very affordable. My father and I...

    Any real difference between a 22LR hollow point and 22LR solid round?

    I own a Sig Sauer Mosquito, and the only ammo that will feed, fire, and eject reliably is CCI 22LR Mini-Mag rounds. I have two choices of ammo type, hollow point or solid. So far I have only shot hollow point ammunition. Now I need to buy more ammo, so I was thinking of maybe trying the...

    Mosin-Nagant 91/30 Scope Type Question

    Hello, I am interested in getting a scope for my Mosin-Nagant 91/30. The problem is that I really don't know anything about scopes(super noob). I would remove the rear sight and place the scope there on a mount. The current scope I am looking at getting is a 4-12x44mm scope. From what I have...

    Mosin-Nagant 91/30

    I purchased a Mosin-Nagant 91/30 rifle a little over a week ago and took it to the shooting range today. It is my third gun, and first bolt action gun. I bought it mainly because it was so cheap, as was the ammunition for it. I have a Saiga 7.62x39 but ammunition prices are still too high for...
