One correction for the Mosin:

“This rifle does not break. But if it does, your local blacksmith can repair it.”

I picked up some spam cans of 5.45x39 cheap, thinking it was 7.62. Ooops. So then I had to buy an AK-74, of course.

Funny how that kind of thing happens. Getting 15 or 20 Galil Orlite 5.56 magazines for $30 gave me an irresistible urge to do a Saiga conversion...

No 8mm Mauser however. I’m low on those too.


J & G Sales in Prescott AZ has them in stock. They also have a few used Mausers in stock too.

In 2020 during Lock downs I got around to rebuilding a Russian M44 by taking parts from a second one I had.

Repaired and got into excellent working mode my Mauser K88.

So now I got 2 excellent functioning rifles.

Thanks for the info. Of all the ammo I use , I’m only short on 8MM Mauser.

Got 10s of thousands of rounds of damn near everything else.

Just got Back from a gun show and it’s insane. Bulk
ammo is twice the price as
are desirable Long Guns.
But it definitely smelled
of FREEDOM!

I buy items from Desert Eagle. The owner’s name is Boris. So many gun stores to go to here in the Quad City area. I counted 21 stores in the area that sell firearms.

Do you have a K88, or a K98? They’re not the same thing, and the ammo is not interchangeable.

K98………It runs with 8mm Mauser.

Long heavy rifle but damn……accurate like crazy with just iron sights.

Very cool. We’re still in winter here so I have to wait for Gun Shows. (Harsh winters). But we do have a giant super sports store called “Jay’s”. I bought a CZ Scorpion from them last June. Then I ordered about twenty mags that hold 35 rounds each. Just in-case they’re ever banned. I have a CPL and can actually carry this gun if I want to. Hilarious! They carry hunting and warring firearms of all kinds. I needed the Scorpion for deer hunting.

Yep, that belongs here.

Tragically, I lost the one on the left and the one in the middle in a boating accident. Not to worry, I joined a Citizens Markmanship Program that was started by Teddy Roosevelt during (or after?) the Spanish American War and will be certifying in the CMP program using an M1 Garand.

Not the status of the Mosin Nagant being one of the most feared weapons ever made to be sure, but properly sighted and kept in "as issued" condition it should be good to 600 yards, which just so happens to be the longest range at the sportsmans club I belong to.

At that distance, that's going to be a little over triple the range I used to be accurate shooting between the trees with my .308 with during deer season.

I'd feel much better being able to "reach out and touch someone" at that distance if the need ever arose.
