Picked Up My First .30 Cal Today (Gun Vanity)

I own one as well. I don’t know about it being a tack driver, but the rifle certainly drove a few German soldiers into the hole.

I've had my m44 for about 8 years now and just got ammo for it yesterday! LOL...now I got to try and find a place I can shoot it at. Got my Ammo here for a decent price. I can't wait to shoot it....make sure you shoot with the bayonet extended if you have the m44.

You'll love it! Go hear to read about "special" handloads tested by the Finns @ http://www.guns.connect.fi/gow/QA1.html

I just got a PU Sniper 91/30 last week.

Wow! I'll bet you paid a little more than $79 for that!

It wasn't until I started researching Mosins on the web that I learned they are so popular.

[2111USMC]

That is cheap!

And brass, too!

[beltfed308]

That web link I posted has some neat stories and I really like the cat sneeze loads :>)

That guy really knows his re-loading stuff on military arms.

Got Three, An original - made by Westinghouse - Yes, Westinghouse, in 1915; Then the mid length and finally the shorty with folding bayonet.

Buy ammo by the case, much cheaper.

That guy really knows his re-loading stuff on military arms.

Unfortunately he passed away last year. His polital views would have made him a FReeper for sure.

I shoot 90 grain cast lead in my Moisin. Very quiet!

Some dude stole your KGB rifle.

I got mine for Valentine’s Day from DH a couple of years ago. Nothing says I Love You like a Russian Sniper Rifle!

[Vor Lady]

Nah, mine is pre-KGB.

[2111USMC]

LOL!

(I’ll have to try that on my DW. I’ve got the kids shooting now and she’s picking up interest.)

[Vor Lady]

It might work! Have her go to a Becoming an Outdoors Woman seminar sometime; that’s what got me hooked. Although I learned I can’t hit the broad side of a barn with a shotgun. The poor man teaching the class kept telling me, “Don’t aim, just point.” And, “It only takes 3 pellets to break a clay.” Ah well, I prefer rifles and handguns.

Any other Mosin fans out there in FReeper world?

We have two here.

Hubby picked up this Swedish Mauser a couple of days ago. Niiice.

[2111USMC]

Now THAT'S a sweet looking gun! (Especially compared to a Mosin Nagant!)

With our other rifles, this one's moving to the top of the list according to my hubby.

This is what he carries in his truck. His personal favorite of all the weapons we own.

Thanks for starting this gun thread. They have been few and far between lately. :)

Been waiting for a gun thread, I found out that Detonics is back in business after being bought up by “Double Nickel” some time ago.

News is that they are going to soon announce a brand new 1911 pistol that they claim is more advanced than anything out there now. We’ll see.

I have a detonics 9-11-01 model and it is one heck of a pistol. Just sent it in to Novak sights to have a Novak fiber optic sight installed.

Tom Gresham may talk about Detonics today on his “Gun Talk” radio show.

Anyone interested go here for where to listen.

Does photobucket now consider guns taboo to have on their site?
