I'm used to doing things in reverse order from most people. In keeping with this habit, and after owning perhaps one hundred other rifles at one time or another, I've finally added a Mosin-Nagant to my rifle arsenal. It is a very nice condition, 1954-dated Romanian M44 carbine, Century Arms import marked:
I'd like to try shooting it with pistol ammunition at my indoor range, so if anyone has one of those 7.62x54 chamber converters for .32 ACP/S&W Long and is willing to sell, please PM me. Sportsman's Guide is sold out, and Numrich only has 7.63 Tokarev converters -- I don't load for that cartridge.
I've been having fairly good luck with chamber converters in .303 British -- on Monday I took my faux Lee Enfield Jungle Carbine to the indoor range and produced a few fair groups using 32 S&W long handloads with 83 grain plated wadcutters. Unimpressive accuracy from a rifle at 22 yards, but good fun within the range rules. The RSO says I bring the oddest pistol caliber carbines they see.
