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!
