I've seen it before but it cracks me up every time!
You can knock down everyone else's target just from the shock wave of your bullet going downrange.
You can bayonet your foe on the other side of the river without leaving the comfort of your hole.
That right there is FUNNY!
-
That is priceless.
Thank you!
-
AK-47.......You can accessorize your rifle with a new muzzle brake or a nice stock set.
AR-15.......Your rifle's accessories are eight times more valuable than your rifle.
Mosin Nagant...Your rifle's accessory is a small tin can with a funny lid, but its buried under an apartment building somewhere in Budapest.
-
Funny, just because it's so true! ;D ;D ;D
-
;D Your rifle has fought against itself and won every time
-
Just saved this one to my documents.
-
I remember reading this last year it is very funny, and true.
AK Your sight adjustment goes to '10', and you've never bothered moving it.
You can repair your rifle with a big hammer and a swift kick.
AR When out of ammo, your rifle makes a great whiffle bat.
Late at night you sometimes have to fight the urge to clear your house, slicing the pie from room to room.
Moisin You dig your ammo out of a farmer's field in Ukraine and it works just fine.
What's a safety?
-
Good one!
-
I have one of each, and I am certain the Mosin Nagant firing pin can be used as a makeshift dagger.
-
Thats so old....
You paid $59.95
I think they are up to like $70 now. ;D
-
I bought "Enemy at the Gates" because of that posting when I saw it about 2 years ago. And oddly after a long day at the range I'm not really wanting to watch "Blackhawk Down" as much as I want to watch "S.W.A.T." (the movie with Samuel L. Jackson) or "We Were Soldiers"
-
hahaha love it
-
I don't get the 'Late at night you sometimes have to fight the urge to hold your rifle over your head and shout "Wolverines!" ' part.
And all of a sudden I have the urge to watch Enemy at the Gates.
-
Read the book ! It is worth the time .

A scene from the movie Red Dawn
And all of a sudden I have the urge to watch Enemy at the Gates.
Lots of M91/30 featured in this movie
-
Funny as all this is, it does raise a serious question. Assuming (however unlikley and absurd it may be), a Red Dawn scenario. What would you carry? Me, I like my AR, but its best inside of 200 yards. Beyond that, its a a choice of who God loves best, me or my target. I also think that going toe to toe with folks who kick in doors and clear houses for a living is a suckers bet.With my bolt action Ruger M-77 in .270, I can put 5 rounds inside of 4" at 200 yards, and will at least get your undivided attention at 500 yards. Given tht I wil lose and lose hard at CQB with a trained uniit, I think that being able to take a shot at a block away and then blend into the crowd, gives a very big plus to a reliable bolt action gun for SHTF situations, because "shoot and scoot" seems th only tactic with a snowbll's chance of working. Just my .02
FQ13
-
On this I think FQ's .02 cents is worth at least a nickle.
-
FQ I agree with you on that.
-
Now FQ13, why don't you buy a Mosin and take that ammo off tw's hands?
Maybe he likes his shoulder?
-
I've given some serious thought to a Moisin. This is because I like the history of the thing and the idea of having an accurate yet disposable gun (less than $150) has a certain appeal as a truck gun. The thing is though, it won't do a thing that my .270 can't do and its a RH bolt. So while I am strongly tempted every time I turn on the History or Military Channel, I will decline. :-\
FQ13 who may one day regret this decision, and if anyone can find me a bargain on a Springfield or Garand will throw logic to the wind, particularly the Springfield. ;D
-
Not sure what you mean TAB..................shoulder? Have you ever shot one? They really aren't that bad.
I have some Egyptian 8 gr 7.62x54R for people that don't like recoil.
Someone once told me they kick like hell after you cut the bayonet off. And this guy would know. He had 28 or 29 of them at the time (Not all without the bayonet. Jut one I believe.)......
-
I have shot a few myself as I've bought exactly 50 Mosins over the past 2 years. That includes M38's, M44's and 9130's.
How hard is it to find one in new, unissued condition? Bill T.
-

They're not near as bad as a 303 Jungle Carbine.
That's a nice stock on the 91/30 on the bottom. Where'd you get it?
-
so what could i expect to pay for a decent Mosin? surely not $60

I'm starting to like these rifles. Good price, and even better priced ammo. Bill T.
-

You can also modify them pretty cheaply too. I PMed Operator on his cost to cut one back to 20" and recrown it. He figured about $150. This would kll the "authenticity" but you'd still have a nice truck gun with cheap ammo for $230.
FQ13

I got a real surprise when Big Brown pulled up this week.
I had ordered 5 more Mosins and an ATI stock from J&G I couldn't believe it when the driver passed me one carton of 5 rifles and I said was that it and he said "no, you have another carton just like that one on here."
By mistake they sent me 10 rifles. I'm thinking hmmmmmmmmmmmm, I guess I just got an early birthday present from J&G as technically, legally they were mine if sent to me and I didn't order them.
Anyway to make a long story short, they were supposed to go to someone else and my shipping labels printed out on both boxes.
They wanted me to ship them back, but I said to just bill me for them and I'd keep them if they wanted to eat the shipping. They were happy with my offer and it worked for me. I wouldn't have felt right just keeping them.
Mosin 91/30 anyone?
And here I am saying I'm temted, but no, I'll pass. BASTARD! ;D What kind of shape are they in and how much plus shipping to FL.?
FQ13 who is going to regret asking this ;D
-
I maybe intrested. not like I need it, but what the hey.

Hex receivers? with the bayonet, oiler and sling? How much? (I have a C&R myself)
-
(I have a C&R myself)
You ARE a C&R ;D
*Groan! ::)
-
Since nobody wants my spam can of 440rds. of milsurp ammo from J&G, at those prices from classic arms, I just might get one myself,
with the "Pig Sticker" and kit.... ::)

If you're right handed, I can't think of a single reason not to. You'd have a solid, yet disposable rifle with a thousand rounds of ammo for around $250. Hard to say no.

So why are you posting here, not talking to Century? I talked to the owner when I was an hour away from hitting the closing date on a sale for AKs and ARs at two different dealers. He assured me that if I paid the (I think it was an extra $10) hand select fee, that they would not only go over 10 AKs an send me the pick of the litter, but if there was a problem with sight cant etc., all I had to do was send it back and they'd send me a new rifle, and do so till I was happy. All I had to do was pay shipping one way. Doesn't get much better IMHO. Buy the damn gun. Its $100 to you hand select plus shipping and transfer (though they do qualify for C@R) but you're still ahead and its a cool gun. If I were RH I'd probably go Dave's route and figure that 5 Moisin's were better than one AK for the $389 price tag, assuming you had to bury a couple along with some sealed ammo for SHTF situations. ;D
FQ13, the voice of Satan

I cleaned out one of my safes today.......................
These are some of my Mosins. Can you ever have too many?
I think you have too many.... unless you are trying to arm a militia.
*Notice he said "one" of his safes ;)
-

Yeah...and SOME of his Mosins
No shock here...but a lot of awe.... :D
-
Does anyone know it would be legal for for a group, say in Ohio, to make a volume...5 or 10 or so.. purchase for the various folks interested?
I guess everyone would have to make a trip to the receiving FFL for the transfer since the plan is for them to go to others.

If it were 1939 outside, and we lived in Poland, he'd be damn handy to know. ;)

My C&R has paid for itself many times over, actually with the first purchase I ever made with it.
Does the C@R cover transfers, even if they are for profit? Because that is a big honking felony if it doesn't. Do you have to do the background check? Honestly, I would watch my ass on this. Not that anyone is likely to hold up a liquor store with a Moisin, unless they had a very long counter to accomodate the six feet of rifle and bayonet, and a good supply of vodka. ;) Still, it does leave you open to straw purchase chares (which are all the rage now). >:(

FQ13
What are you talking about FQ13? I have a C&R for my own personal collecting. I do not sell guns although I am allowed infrequent sales to further my collection.
What background check are you talking about? You really need to read what a C&R is and isn't. I have saved money in transfer fees by having a C&R and having C&R guns shipped directly to me. If I had to go through an O1 dealer every time I bought a C&R eligible rifle or shotgun it would cost me a small fortune.
I say rifle or shotgun because here in California I can't use it for handgun purchases unless I take possession out of state and then I have to pay $19 to CADOJ withing 5 days of bringing it into CA in order to register it. If I have a C&R handgun shipped to CA it has to go to an 01 and I have to pay all the fees associated with buying a handgun and also am still required to wait 10 days even though I have a CA CCW.
Transfers of curio or relic firearms by licensed collectors are not subject to the requirements of the Brady law
It does not allow me to be in the business and I'm not.
-
A lot of people are very misled by the title of the license itself. The term "Curio & RELIC" doesn't mean "old clunker". There are many modern firearms on the list. It will surprise you how many guns you can buy / sell / & ship to your door with a valid C&R License. You can download the list here:
