K-98

And how is the grouping? Is it way off from the sight?

Actually I'm assuming it's accurate, I havn't hit the target out of 10 shots but I just figured that was because I'm not use to it yet.

 

[GonzoX]

it has the little eagles w/ swastikas and there are no x's on it.

Sometimes the Xs are hard to see. Is the stock shellaced?

Do all the parts match with ser #?

Is the bolt blued?

Any Photos?

 

[[5.SS]Strother]

I got some photos but they arn't good at all, the lighting isn't right so you can't really see anything, I'll have to work on that. I'll get some pictures when I take it out to the range next week, the trouble is finding the ammo for it around here, but it shouldn't be too hard I live in a hunting community with a lot of hunting stores.

I went to wal mart and asked and the women behind the counter looked a bit perplexed.

[[FERGIE]]

Damn wished i lived in a country where buying guns like this was allowed!! Only gun i own is a 22. air rifle lol!!

 

[Zoring]

Can't you take photos inside your house?

Also your mosin nagant is missing a couple of pieces there. Does the barrel even stay in the wood without the bands?

 

[GonzoX]

It looks like his barrel is about an inch too short. Either that or the receiver is not seated into the stock.

Looks like a Mosin parts kit grab bag from Tapco or Numerich is in order here.

Looks like a 91/30 in an M91 stock.

Slinky, I'll trade you a 91/30 stock with a hanguard for it. My Remington needs an unsanded stock like that.

Join a group whose goal is affirming RKBA.

I keep hoping to see, or hear of or hopefully hear FROM some overseas RKBA group, but never happens.

Self-defense ain't a privilege, it's a right.

Here are some pictures of my cousin and I going to the range.

One of our targets

My battery for the camera died so I couldn't get more pictures

I did set up a nearly empty coke bottle and I shot it near the bottom and the pressures riped the bottle in half, broke the cap off (couldn't find it), and bent the bottle just below its neck and blew the top 20 feet in the air and it landed about 20 feet away.

edit: I can't seem to insert image...

Bolt action centerfire rifles are perfectly legal in the UK. You just need to get a firearms license, which is not typically difficult if you're trying to get a .22 rimfire or legal centerfire(i.e NOT semi-automatic).

 

[Gunfan9x19]

Strother, it doesn't look like you're using surplus ammo. It's dirt cheap for 8mm Mauser, and it's perfectly good ammo.

Nice rifle, BTW !

 

[Reddog]

That could also be why you had trouble hitting the target, a lot of new production stuff is under loaded for some weird safety reasons, or a lot of it doesn't match military spec, so it doesn't shoot to POA because it is different that what the rifle was sighted in with back in the day.

 

[[5.SS]Strother]

We were using some FMJ ammo from the place I got the rifle from, but we only had ten rounds of it so it went FAST. For 20 shells of the FMJ it was $8.

$8 for 20 rounds ! Dude, you need to go get some surplus ammo! You can get military surplus ammo in 8mm Mauser for next to nothing.

Try any big online dealer, i.e. AIM Surplus, Southern Ohio Gun, Sportsman's Guide, etc. I highly recommend a site called www.ammoman.com. Free shipping on all orders, and prices are competitive with other dealers.

nice rifle, man. really nice.

I have heard of this before. I think that you need to look for the ammo labeled JS instead of IS which is what I think the light ammo is.
