My Mosin Experience

I bought a Mosin via FFL Transfer from Classic Arms. Went for a hand select for the best barrel. Its a 1943 91/30 with a very nice barrel. Cleaned up with Mineral Spirits and have taken it shooting a few times. Learned that even with a decent butt pad, it kicks way to hard for me unless I am wearing a winter coat. Thinking about getting a brake installed. Fired ~25 rounds yesterday and my shoulder is still slightly sore. I did hold it tight but it didn't seem to make a difference.

New Tula Ammo runs ~9.00/20 for new production non corrosive.

Owning one is an adventure.
