That's a beautiful rifle, congratulations!
The Mosin Nagant, good for WW1, WW2, and probably will be used in WW3 by somebody!

Nice! Now open up one of those tins, get to the range, and foul that bore!

**mousegunner** · 09-16-2009, 01:32 PM

And don't forget the slip on rubber shoulder pad!

thanks guys. I installed the MOJO sights and 90% detail stripped it and the bolt to get the last of the cosmoline out. I opened one of the ammo tins (a workout in itself) and prepped it for the range tommorow morning.
I'm going to cowboy up and shoot it w/o the rubber butt pad a couple of times. If the Russians can do it, So can I. (w/ a jacket on. I don't think they did much training in t-shirts and shorts in the former Soviet Union.

Re Mosins: I've yet to have a bruise on my shoulder as big as the grin on my face!

My wife shoots her Mosin without a recoil pad and she's half my size. You can do it. If you can't, be sure to let us know so we can have a chuckle.

By the way, nice looking rifle. Congratulations. You will love it.

Using a pad takes away from the nostalgia!

I like the hex ones myself.

I did shoot it today (t-shirt). Only 20 rounds though. Had to sight in 3 rifles today and the wife was getting impatient. (Marlin 795 w/ new Tech Sights and my TacSol .22 upper AGAIN) Love the Mojo sights. Only the rear though. I couldn't forsee me adapting to the front sight easily.

BTW.... That Remongton 700 in .270 I had and my 12 gauge seemed to kick harder than this MN. I luv shooting this rifle.
