Limbsaver for Mosin Nagant

[BillinNH]

Does anyone have a Limbsaver slip-on recoil pad on their Mosin Nagant? Did you use small, medium or large? Medium is my guess but would like to hear from someone who has one.

Thanks.

I have a small-sized one, and it still has a little play to it.

Thanks, Grimjaw, just what I needed to know. IIRC, you posted on another thread that you were pleased with the limbsaver on your MN. That right?

Bill-

Look here: http://www.limbsaver.com/limbsaver/technical/rptemplates.aspx

You can print out templates for each Limbsaver they make and just lay the stock on them.

The Mosin has a curved butt, so you'll have to sand it flat (unless you're going with an aftermarket stock from ATI, Boyd's, or whoever else might make one).

I found a "grind-to-fit" Limbsaver that is within 1/16" of perfect for my trap gun; I didn't bother grinding it, since the little extra plastic protects the wood anyway.

Limbsavers are wonderful! I can shoot a 12 Gauge so it bounces off my clavicle, as many times as I want, in a thin t-shirt without any sort of pain.

Man, half the fun is the recoil!

I too have a slip-on LimbSaver on my Mosin...SMALL size fits fine.

Yes I'm pleased with it. If I'm trying to sight a Mosin in from the bench, it makes it easier on my shoulder through extended sessions. I don't use it if I'm just throwing lead for the heck of it.

I use The Shooters Friend recoil pad from Cabelas. I can use it on my Mosins, Enfields (not really needed) and Mauser. It fits all just fine and allows me to comfortably shoot 100+ rounds a session. It doesn't slip off, even though it looks like it might. Holds on to the stock very well. Also a lil cheaper then the Limb Saver.

While this thread is going... What size would be good for an M48?

 

[ArmedBear]

I find that the steel buttplate on my M38 carbine makes shooting more economical.

I would save the cost of each limbsaver and just get one of the pads that you wear on your shoulder. I have one, can't remember the name, but it works great for all of my guns with...ah...recoil issues

Glad to see I am not the only one who loves this thing.

The cool part it can be removed and reinstalled on any of my rifles and shotguns in about 3 seconds. It suppliments the existing recoil pad nicely on hard kicking rifles and shotguns.
