i buy the 51" cases. they fit pretty good. i want a pelican, but i just cant fork out the cash for one just yet with my other projects goin on.

this is the site i buy my ammo from: http://www.ammunitiontogo.com/index.php ... r-fmj-ammo

http://www.classicarms.us/ These people carry lots of Mosins at good prices.They are good people to deal with. Stan in SC Looks like they have some good rifles at good prices. I'm going to get one. Is it worth the extra money for the "Dragoon Era" ones on this site? And which one...Tula? ...

this site here has loads of info on these old work horses. from identification marks to shooting and collecting the various models of mosins.

cool. ill give it a look. thanks.

i have a '28 Tula ex dragoon. last year of the CCCP stampings i believe. i love this thing. the power these things have compared to the price of the ammunition is very hard to beat. i pay 19 dollars and get 100 rds. of steel core russian surplus ammo made as late as '88. as stated the accuracy can b...

ill check'em out. my local shop has a pretty good selection on optics. i appreciate the suggestion.

i beleive the wood on it is berch. nothing too fancy. i dont think its walnut. the pistol grip models are walnut. and the one i have is a newer made rifle, but straight grip. i wish you were closer too joe. id love to try out some handloads in this thing. plus you prolly could have fixed my ranger. ...

ive got just over 250 rounds through mine and have not had any issues with it yet. she feeds and extracts just fine and i noticed the action is starting to free up some, but not much. my accuracy at 75 yrds. is 3.5" +/- with iron sights shooting from a makeshift rest. i cant shoot 100 yards dow...

well joe, your diagnosis was correct. the spring was actually broken. the smith is going to order the parts in. you did good.

tennessee. ill be taking this thing to the range sometime this week and am curious to see if any issues arise.

the gentleman at the shop is going to call when the smith gets done with it and fill me in on what was wrong. ill then relay the message. im curious myself to see what it was that caused the jams.

just got back from the shop where i bought the gun and he exchanged the problematic ranger for a new mossberg 464 at no cost. ive been a mossberg fan for many years but have never fired any of their rifles. scatterguns only. im curious to see how this rifle will perform. ive read negative reviews on...

i have to wait until monday to do so. they were closed when i got off work today but i plan on doing so. usually his sales are final but im a pretty regular customer so im not sure what he is going to do on his end.

thanks for the pictures joe. they cleared some confusion i had on the operation. ill post some pics of this one's reciever and give you a better picture of what im looking at to see if it will help you on your end any, after i get some batteries for the camera this evening.

thanks.

thats what im hoping for. i dont want to ship it to browning if i dont have to. ill be glad when i can enjoy shooting it. my buddies told me to ditch it. but i dont give up easy when it comes to my guns. correct me if im wrong, but on the wins, the cross bolt safety was produced before the tang righ...

it is an angle eject model. i live in east tennessee a few miles from the NC border. not exactly a sunday drive. :) i have noticed that half the time the elevator just falls back down on its own accord when the bolt reaches the center of its travel. doesnt seem to have much tension either way of its...

the rifle was doing this at all speeds. i beleive the second portion of your reply may be the problem. when opening the action slowly to the almost fully opened position, the elevator stays down. i have to open the action completley to get it to ride up. i pushed on it and i was able to move the who...

hey guys. new to the forum and have a few questions for my ranger. i bought the gun used. hope you guys can help. after picking up the rifle today i put 5 rounds in the mag and when i went to cycle the action, i was having chambering issues. almost like when a pistol stovepipes. when i closed the ac...
