The second armed robbery occurred on January 19th, 2012, at about 9:57 hours. The suspect brandished rifle at the clerk.

The rifle used in the second robbery appears to be one of the many models of Russian Military Mosin Nagant, bolt action high, powered rifle.

The perp should upgrade to a M1944 carbine with folding bayonet. The bayonet is pretty intimidating by itself.

I rate this thread “awesome” for the comments!

There’s a hundred bolt actions I’d rather have.

They’re not interesting guns.

>>>>>>>>>>(california) Looks like the perp is using a M38 carbine with the butt cutt off! (2nd pic at site) If he shoots it, it would probably kill him, too. Sad part is that the rifle will probably be destroyed when the police catch up with him.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Mosin-Nagant with butt and most of it’s barrel cut-off for mobility was a Russian gangsters’ weapon of choice since earlier 1900s to about 1970s. It was called ‘obrez’ in Russian criminal slang.

Here is a link for one of these, this one made in Poland during WWII:

Nice to look at, but shooting it. I don’t think so.

That’s insane!

I made the mistake of shooting an 12 ga Ithica 37 with a pistol grip and 3” 00 buck magnums.

I think I fractured my #@*! hand!
