I was at a friend's house, their young son was facinated that I have a Mosin Nagant. That family primarily does shotgun stuff, and he has apparently read quite a bit about WWII, especially the guns.
He definitely wants to see it some time, and I want to let him shoot it. Except I'm a bit nervous about the recoil. I have a .22LR rifle I'll certainly make sure he knows how to use, but seeing as I never got my hands on any gun until I was 19, would a M-N be a bit much for a kid in elementary school?
I'm not sure what year he is, nor how old, I just know that I was impressed the first time I shot a M-N, and I was a good 150 pounds. And yes, I'll talk to his dad, my friend, who, if I know him at all, will also want to shoot it. Fine by me as long as they bring some of the toys I've heard about!
