Any of you with an old Mosin-Nagant, Dragunov, or anything else chambered in 7.62x54R. The Armory.com has a sale on Russian surplus silver-tip (steel core) ammo. Get two(2) 440rd sardine cans (880 rounds total), with opener, for $139.98! I just bought some for my old Mosin-Nagant of 1943. Boy, if that old rifle could talk...

For those that don't know, the 7.62x54r is a Russian rifle round first developed in 1891 for the Mosin-Nagant. It is basically the ballistic twin of our .30-06, but due to the bullet's particularly elongated shape, which results in a relatively high ballistic coefficient, it actually compares closer to the .300 Winchester magnum past 500 yards.

That's a hell of a deal. Thanks for the heads up. I also have a Mosin-Nagant M44. Mine is a Hungarian made model built in 1944.

 

I just bought my Mosin Nagant M91/30 recently. I wish I could pull that off right now. With shipping it puts it dang near $190 to my door. I haven't even shot mine yet, freaking snow

 

It was snowing and -40 in Stalingrad the winter of 1942/43 and the M91/30's went bang just fine! Of course, there was a certain group of fascists encouraging the trigger-time that winter! With shipping, it came to $162.00 for me.

 

THANKS for the heads up on this deal .

I may or maynot own something in that cal. feds.

 

The only reason I blame the snow is it pretty much closes all mountain access unless you have a sled(which I don't) and we do not have a shooting range here. Its always been just go out in the middle of nowhere to shoot. Kinda hard to do that in the middle of winter.

 

LOL. Just giving ya a hard time. I just roll 5 miles down to my dad's farm to do my shooting. FYI: Snowmen make cool 500 yard targets!

 

LOL. yeah I know. I've always wanted to shoot a snowman, just never have taken the time to do it. When I get home tonight I'll post some pics of my mosin. I stripped it and tried to camo it but I don't like the way it turned out so I'll probably just stain it again.

 

I have a model M44, It shoots great, BUT remember to used WINDEX to clean the rifle first to get rid of the corrosive ammo residue, Then you can use solvent

 

Yep, windex. I found some non corrosive ammo from sportsmans guide but of course when I went to order some they were sold out.
