Jordan has stepped into the abyss

Recommended Posts

My son, whom I dearly love in spite of his eccentricities, took a trip to Weaver's today while I was at Shongum. He came home with a brand new to him 91/30, complete with all the bizarre accouterments. It seems to be in good shape, the numbers on the receiver, bolt, and magazine match, the bore is in nice shape, and all in all, it looks like it's at least as nice as some of ones I've seen at the range.

 

He'll be deflowering it at Cherry Ridge on Monday.

 

He's happy, so I guess I am, too.

Woo hoo!!!!!! Another convert. Make sure he cleans all of the cosmo off of it. If he is shooting surplus, be sure to clean correctly for corrosive ammo. I get home in 2 weeks, maybe I'll drag him to my range for some mosin madness.

We brought Jordan's gun out to CR this morning to make sure it goes bang. It does. He needs to adjust the sights, but that will happen some other time.

 

He still has the grin on his face.

I think Maks was just the advance guard. The Russians are going to take us over one way or another - it looks like the M-N route may work better than 40 years of cold war. :mrgreen:

 

Adios,

That sounds good to me. I have a 1903 A3 (courtesy of Old School Frank) and a Garand (courtesy of the CMP). I am eyeing an M14/M1A, but they are $$$. Even though my modern Savage is a lot more accurate, the Garand and Springfield are so much fun to shoot. I sold my K31 towards this effort, but it doesn't help that I just bought a Remington 1100 Classic Trap to help me bust clays.

Rubber recoil pads ftw!

No, suck up the recoil. Buy some dumbells or eat White Castle. :D

 

Does eating white castle reduce recoil from a Mosin? Now I know your secret to great shooting Tim!

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
