Rain is here.

A .45 cal pistol brush is good for cleaning the chamber with some plain Hoppe's #9. No need to heat it up to clean, but you will want to flush the system with hot soapy water after using corrosive ammo. My 91/30 had some serious sticky bolt issues when I first got it but after repeated firing and cleaning the action is smooth and flawless now (in a Russian no-nonsense functional kind of way).

After John Wayne, I'll say Clint Eastwood.

As awesome as he is Lee Marvin was never called "The Duke".

Roland personified Honor. The word itself should be enough to explain, but many may not understand in this day and age. With Honor comes a heavy burden...doing what's right.

I'd like to see a semi-auto trigger that can match the feel of a nice (meaning tuned, honed or just old) true double-action Smith revolver.

The next ammo report should only include what you bought me.

Have never done a transfer but know Austin's and Gunny's to be good people. No need to pay more than $25 for a couple of minutes worth of work.

Norris shooting Sunday?

Me too. I though Mike & I were friends but I didn't get anything from the imitation Mike.

Only the true three wolf moon wil get you a date at Walmart.

We don't need him streaking through the town square, much less my back yard.

Uh, Saturday is college football day. The parade must come through the back yard too.

At the gun show last month (Knoxville) there was a guy with two full crates of them. $120 OTD. Maybe he'll be back in a couple of weeks.

Sunday forcast: mostly sunny, high of 68. Of course that means nothing but it's what the weatherman says today.

You handled it better than me. If I felt some dude grabbing around my ass there would be an elbow flying in that direction. Maybe it's time you bake up some brownies and take them to work. You know, the kind with chocolate ex-lax. Of course you'll get fired, so maybe not a good idea.

The one and only. This is an old thread.

Missing your daily dose of lunacy?

After those he'll need an M1 Garand and carbine. 8mm ammo: AIM 8mm 8mm 8mm Mauser http://www.ammunitiontogo.com/catalog1/index.php/cName/rifle-ammo-8mm-mauser There may be a couple of other places too.

Congrats! Good choice. Enjoy.

The M91/30's are what you can find in the $100+ dollar range. (after shipping, TICS, etc). Look for one with all matching numbers (bolt & receiver). The hexagonal shaped receivers were manufacutured up until sometime in the '30's, I forget the exact year. They are a little less common than the round receivers of which all WWII manufacture are. Worth an extra $10? That's all up to you. There are also M38's (not very common) and M44's (common but hard to get now at a decent price). There are also Finnish Mosins which cost several times more than Russians. I'd say get one of the latest batches of M91/30's - that's the most common - and pay no more that $150 after tax, tics, etc. Make sure it comes with the bayonet. You'll need that for proper shooting. They were all rearsenaled after WWII and are like new. Tons of fun.

A simple fondle will be enough.

Can't wait to shoot it!

+1 to what Mosinon said. The Norris range also goes out to about 220-250 yards. No RSO's John Sevier range in Knoxville is $5.50/2 hours and is sit down only. 100 yards max. ORSA is a mighty fine range. 1000 yards.
