Because the Anti-2A folks have been quite successful at banning the ‘evil imported military weapons’. Even though you never hear of a crime committed with a Mosin-Nagant rifle or similar.$700???? Seems like yesterday they were $99. The surplus market has sure caught fire.
The trade also included 150 rounds of PPU ammo, so I’ll have some empty cases soon.
I’ve read about shooting 32 Long in the Nagant but I’m not clear if one needs a different cylinder.
Nice!My Dad has had a gorgeous 1895 Belgian Nagant service revolver that some gunsmith nicely sleeved for .22lr. That model didnt use the gas seal mechanism and accuracy is only so-so, but its still a blast to shoot. The ejector doesnt fit the cylinder sleeves, however, so you must use a wire rod to knock out the empties.
When I got mine I also got the second cylinder with it but was told that a gunsmith has to install it.Nice!
I’d like to find a 32 cylinder for mine. Those are pretty rare as well.
But you might be able to use alt code. For example, ф (taken from my Russian keyboard, on mobile at the moment) can be typed using ALT+232, where you hold the ALT key while you type the numbers 232.Hah! I was afraid it was that. I don't think this editor allows HTML code, so I can't get it to render non-English characters. Thanks, anyway.
