Just because it belongs on the thread.
7.62 x54r and Mosins
are kinda slim these days—
My AK 74 is like an old work truck it always runs, both are cheap to run, I only have to occasionally wash off the mud, wipe out the dust and the cooties. and both have the same punch when they hit you.
Thanks for that chart. Funny.
Lol! Beautiful!!!
One correction for the Mosin:
“This rifle does not break. But if it does, your local blacksmith can repair it.”
Hey! Where is the column for the M1 Garand!
Yes, it does, and thank you.
😀
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.
