Hello all. I'm here again to learn more about my Mosin. The more I think I have this old gun figured out, the more mysteries I uncover with it. My gun appears, at a glace, to be all parts matching. The barrel shank, butt plate, and bolt body all have the same serial number stamped into them...

My Smith model 66 is currently in the S&W hospital having a worn out sear being checked out and fixed, which is kind of depressing. But life goes on and 'tis the season to buy a new gun! So, I added a new member to my family of firearms. Number seven, welcome home: a Marlin Model 80! (JCH...

So, I've been antsy to go shooting lately, and having gotten a fresh new can of Mosin ammo to satisfy my cravings, I checked my gun bag this morning to ensure that I am all set to go on Monday. And a question popped into my head. Am I the only one who carries so much crap around with him? Does...

First off, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum. I conducted a search to try and find an answer to my question and I did outside research, but I still haven't found really credible or consistent/reliable information, so, here I am. I recently bought a Mosin Nagant 91/30, and when I got it...
