Nothing, pound for pound(ing),...compares to a Moisin. Although I have noticed ammo creeping up slightly,....


I enjoy my 1943, and the bruising....

(Between the Moisin and my Mausers, I'm a glutton for punishment)...
There are some great vids on youtube for some Flitz and fluffing, buffing and otherwise really making the action smooth.
It really made a difference in cycling the bolt in mine.
Thumping round, good for anything in North America on two or four legs. Plus, it can be used to pole vault hedgerows in a pinch.
Enjoy it!!! The darn thing, with routine care, will last another 100 years. Even corrosive, milsurp ammo, if cleaned promptly, is no issue.
Congratulations.
