Re: mosin nagant...what a bang for your buck!
The M95 Steyr and M95/34 are still pretty cheap, considering their limited issue and relative scarcity on this side of the pond. Ammo is available, if you don't mind Nazi-marked ammo from 1934.Carry Big Stick wrote:Does anyone know of some other good forgotten rifles of our past wars?
I have a 95/34 (major shoulder punisher!) and a bunch of ammo. Fun to shoot, but it's in the safe for a rainy day if the market would ever catch up.

Heh. Less than a decade ago, you could get 5 for a hundred. Three for a hundred was available less than 5 years ago.Carry Big Stick wrote:Yep went to the cheaperthandirt store today to check it out and just happened to have a 91/30 follow me home. You just can't beat a good rifle for $96.34 out the door.
I don't like Mosins all that much, but I wish I'd stocked up.

Mosin-Nagant: yet more evidence that James Paris Lee had it right when he made rifles that were cock-on-close.

Re: mosin nagant...what a bang for your buck!
My only M44 is a Polish Radom -- beeyootiful finish. The Poles and Czechs always had the best workmanship of the former Eastern Bloc countries.
I understand that M38s, which don't have a bayonet (nor even a lug) balance much better, but also recoil more harshly.
M44s are pussycats compared to my Steyr M95/34 in 8x56R. I've never had the nerve to shoot it from the bench, only offhand.
