Finally used my C&R FFL today
« on: October 04, 2011, 05:12:12 PM »
Cabela's had a sale.  The price was not as good as some of the online shops, but I got to pick out the one I wanted and didn't have to pay for shipping.  Plus, I got to go to Cabela's!











Can't wait to give it a go.

Nice, but where did you find ammo?

They are supposed to be extremely accurate, but a PITA to reload.

M1895 Nagant. in 7.62? Seven Shot fixed cylinder? Speed loading takes three hands and 14 fingers, but,.... ::)

Hey they are still being used by Russian Railroad Security to this day.

I too put my first purchase on my C&R,.... another MN 91/30.

Looks in good shape. Let us know how it shoots. Most triggers are bone on bone, and expect a 14-20 pound trigger pull, but it goes bang, and has pretty decent accuracy.

J&G also has good deals on ammo.

Congratulations.

Is that the one where the cylinder moves forward on firing, causing the brass case to seal off on the throat of the barrel?  Bill T.

It is...increases muzzle velocity according to what I've read.  I first thought it was a Webley until TW corrected my thought process.

That was one of my first C&R purchases also. I bought it back when the pistols were cheaper than the ammo (S&B was the only brand you could find). I shot 32S&W for a while, then I found a 32ACP cylinder for it. I sold it about three years ago for almost five times what I paid for it.

I was thinking about getting a .32acp cylinder for it.  How did it work?
