I picked up my two M44 for $120 and $150. Just got to keep your eyes open. My all matching T53 was a bit more at $185.

Still wanting to know where you Mosin guys get your headspace gauges, or do pay a gunsmith to check it? I'd rather do it myself.

It looks like Brownell's carries them, if you don't get any other leads.

Take a look at this under reassembly. I have several of these and I can bring one next week.

Thanks. Looks like they carry both the Fosters and the Clymers for 7.62x54R.

yeah, I think it about time that I pick up a Mosin :)

Or two. I'm halfway thinking of getting a second.

Mine came with my rifle.

I think you're talking about the firing pin depth gauge, not a set of 3 headspace gauges (GO, NO-GO, and FIELD), unless they came with the rifle.

I haven't even gotten mine cleaned up yet.

Never seen the type that fit on the outside of the chamber, rather than in the chamber, but I guess those work as the principle is the same. Also, it looks like you don't need to remove the extractor to use those, so that's a big plus. At an absolute minimum, I would have the FIELD gauge. Thanks for the link.

Edit: Also he has an excellent primer for headspace here:

Picked up that M39 I mentioned earlier.

Nice! Oops, I meant Очень красиво

I think we had a convert today.
