Anyone into guns?

Hell yeah there COOL! Anyhow My most recent purchase was a 1944 Spanish Mauser in 8x57 or as the receiver says 7.92cal. I've also got a few other rifles and couple of handguns. Nothing like sitting out plinking away. Keeps us on the ready in case we have to hunt or need it for some unfortunate occasion. I haven't had my hands on a Fin Mosin but my buddy has 3 Russian Mosins 2 91/30's and an M44.

I too have a Mosin-Nagant, don't know the specifics..think it's Hungarian.
I've got a WIn. 30-30, a .303 Brit, several old shotguns, a few .22's.

My dad has close to half a dozen .303's, a handful of .45-70 Gov's, some other stuff I can't recall.
I've also got a Taurus .38 Spl...would love to have a Taurus .40

I briefly owned a 9mm semi auto rifle...wasn't anything fancy, just about able to click 7 shots without falling alseep, it was only slightly more worthless than the Chinese SKS I gleefully traded some idiot for my .303 Brit.

When I first shot the 7.62x54, I thought if I ever managed to be able (or crazy) enough to use it for deer, if the ugliness of the rifle didn't kill the deer, then the noise would if the bullet didn't, lol.

I've got a few boxes of shells for it for hunting, but it's hard to leave Reliable (.303) in the house when I go out. I've never killed deer with anything other than the Brit, and a a few vehicles, and once, with a knife. But that's a different story, for a different thread. :D

I actually kind of suprised to hear a few guys on here have Mosins, I actually like em alot. They aren't a bad gun for the money either. I am really into older WWII era rifles/guns.

87DailyDriver- Yes, I have seen an SVT40 I wish I could get one to add to my collection but $2000 is a little out of my range for a rifle.

I have been looking into getting an SVD Dragunov or similar copy of it. (If you can't tell I like eastern front/Russian guns) I really have no interest in getting an AK or SKS though, they just don't do anything for me.

I have some friends who can decode all the markings on the reciever if you want

My grandfather is a retired gun dealer, so I've been exposed all my life to sporting arms. Plus being in the infantry, I was exposed to more firepower than some, but don't own any....though an MP5K would be nice to have.

Anyway, I have a few.

I think I'd probably like the person responsible for it a bit less...

(the firearm didn't do it alone)

I'll have to get you some good pics of the markings and email them to you

I have a Winchester model 70 in .300 win mag and a Ruger Super Redhawk w/scope. I do miss my .220 Swift though.

WOW, I never knew the SVT40 was bringing anywhere near the $2000.00 dollar mark. I bought it 15 years ago for next to nothing. I dont remember what I paid for it but I'm cheap, so it couldnt have been much. Maybe I should sell it to pay for some mods on the T'Bird. I can see my Wife rolling her eyes now. As for the Nagants, I love them. Hard to argue with a 7.62X54 round. I have a few 91/30's and an M44. The M44 hurts a little when you shoot it though. But, I'm always amazed at the acuracy of these old rifles. I have some current production stuff also. However, these old WWII rifles are tough to beat. Heck, some of my stuff pre-dates WWI.

AK 47: Hit the broad side of a barn... while standing in it.
AR 15: Hit the broad side of a barn from across the farm.
Mosin Nagant: Hit the farm from 2 counties over.

You shoot that gun in pairs. Once for fun, then again to relocate your shoulder.

Or so I've heard...

I've been told this before but my Saiga AK is a whole different story. Then on that AR that is if it doesn't jam first! Oh and if the AR is such the awesome gun why after all these years are they making the AR's work like an AK with a gas piston setup?
