My record is 200 well aimed accurate shots out of a mosin in 10 minutes, witnessed by junkmanted. Try having fun and remaining accurate. The British actually had a drill called the mad minute doing the same thing. The day after d-day members of the 101st encountered a group of Canadian soldiers. The Americans heard the Canadians firing and thought they all had semi autos, only to find out they only had enfields. Training and practice can make a bolt gun a formidible weapon.

Dave remember to stack your ammo. Alternate rounds between slug and buck. A slug can easily penetrate an engine block and buck to take care of the transportationless zombies. Looks sweet though.

HAPPY B-DAY

I have a large private lake, large plot of land and live in the middle of nowhere ---- bring it on!!!!

due to the heavy recoil of both mosins and white castle, can we now refer to them as "blasters" instead of sliders??? :mrgreen:

We are in a very high gas environment right now and a camera is considered an ignition source.

Well here is a strange one for y'all to ponder. As you know I am on the front lines in this fight, so I am pretty experienced when it comes to the oil biz. Right now we are about 12 miles from the horizon incident and have had some $hitty weather the past couple of days. Get your tin foil hats on for this! It is raining oil!!!!!!!!!! All of the rain falling on the decks has an oily sheen to it and it is slimy and slippery. If it gets you wet you get slimy. I am not q weather guru but I think it is rather strange and noteworthy. If I was allowed to get a camera on deck I would get a pic or 2. Maybe I will sneek one out tomorrow.

Those are those glorified .22's you see at toys-r-us right? I figured with all that plastic they would fit in. LOL!!!

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.

Wouldn't that be nice if you were talkin about women ted.

I have to go with mak on this one. Guns do function differently for different people. It all comes down to how your grip is, your trigger pull ect. My 1942 Colt 1911 HATES me. No matter what I do, it just doesn't shoot right. Anybody else who shoots the gun loves it, and I haven't had an issue with it what so ever when someone else is pulling the trigger. As soon as it try it it says F-U. As to mak, he seems to be an incredible wealth of firearms information. He always seems to be spot on when giving information to others, and seems to be honest when he doesn't know something. If you look, there are several posts with mak asking for help. It just comes down to life, nobody is an expert in everything, just some things. And there is always someone out there that knows more than you do. And to everyone, share the knowledge you have and pass it on.

There is a ton of history on them. If you pay attention when looking it is not uncommon to find shrapnel and such. "blood pitting". Is also quite common. When you see the wartime ex sniper, the chances that it was built and never saw combat are slim to null.

If you are looking for a good lookin/shootin mauser go to Sarco. Last week I got a really awesome yugo capture German k98 for $200. All of the waffenampts(dirty birds) are intact minus the German markings on the receiver ring. Or they had some really nice yugo 24/47's. Just be sure to check barrel condition of the gun. It is quite typical that when the Yugoslavian's re-worked these guns, they actually re-barreled unlike the Russian captures. Remember when hunting for surplus, it is more often that you are finding a diamond in the rough. These guns haven't been cleaned for 60+ years so there is 60+ years on dirt and cosmo on them. Just a little TLC and they can be awesome rifles for the money.

DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT buy anything that has to do with mitchells. They have been investigated for fraud. They take typical russian capture guns and re-stamp serial numbers and label them as new, or unissued ect. As for the yugo's they rework them too and sell them as new guns. They may look purdy but are surely humped fakes. They have no collector or historical value what so ever.

I have enough mosins for everybody when SHTF

PISTOL: 1911 GI .45ACP Lever action: Marlin 30-30 Shotgun: Winchester 1897 12ga Long range rifle: Mauser K98 8mm SHTF Battle Rifle: AK-47

As a general rule of thumb, treat all spanish mausers as unsafe to shoot normal high power loads out of. The spanish had issues heat treating the bolts and receivers and there are SEVERAL reports of bad ju-ju when it comes to spanish mausers. This includes the 8mm mausers and such.

Happy B-DAY!!

Damn Ray, give me some credit.. I am still a youngin' only 27

I thought this b-day couldn't get any better. I got a 1915 Enfield from a friend, and now this. TODAY ROCKS!!!!!!!!

Thanks fellas. Hard to imagine that I managed to live another year...LOL I guess tonight I am going to finally open that bottle of Gentleman's Jack. YAY!

wow. what will be the tipping point where mainstream america starts to wake up?

I am self admittedly OCD when it comes to ammo. All of my ammo is stacked neatly in a can, and the can gets stenciled with the caliber on it. Each can's seal gets a light rubbing of DOW 111 on it and a desiccant bag tossed in. Everyone who shoots with me laughs at me! .303 Brit 1980's Yugo 8mm Cans

I would not recommend a wiselite gun to anybody after owning this thing. It has had several issues including the fact that the gun was assembled wrong using junky parts. Wiselite's customer service is very lacking the "customer service" part of it. I took it out today and for the first time since I got it, I was able to go an entire range session without some kind of issue(FTF, FTE). I fired about 300rds out of it without 1 hiccup. Unless you dont mind tinkering on stuff or working on firearms do not buy this gun! I would have expected higher quality considering what I paid for it.
