Just got back from Ace Marksman in Mannington, great people out there, easy to deal with to boot. Got a 91/30, still cosmo'd up, but damn if it isn't going to be a fine rifle once its cleaned. 

 

One disappointing thing was that they wouldn't sell the bayonet. But oh well. Still love it, and I've officially joined the cult of Mosin with my first gun store purchase. 

 

Pics are coming soon, I swear. 

Congrats!  I got my first one a couple of weeks ago. You should be able to find a bayonet fairly cheap somewhere.

i've got a bayonet you can have for free, come pick it up in woodbridge 07095

Did they say why?

Did they say why?

Wondering the same thing

Reason for no bayonet: Because they knife laws in NJ say you can only have some thing thats X long and yada yada yada, and the NJSP FU told them something yada yada yada.

 

I didn't want to, or have time to argue, so I just left it at that. 

That sounds ridiculous

Their info is bull dip. You can own a sword that is 10 miles long if you want to. I would look up the real rules and ask for it.

 

You have come down with Mosinitis. I suffer from it as well. Started with a M44 I purchased from a friend.. Then suddenly I "needed" an M38. Then a M91/30 appeared from thin air. Then a M91/59. Now I need a round receiver M91/30 because mine is a hex, and probably an ex-sniper for the PU scope I somehow acquired, and a WWII Finn, and a M91 if one comes by.. Good luck, there is no cure. Same as EBR disease but less damaging to your finances.

 

oh and PICS

So I spent like 4-5 hours cleaning the metal. Just the metal. Tomorrow I'm going to tackle getting the wood de-cosmo'd. Which should be an interesting experience. 

 

As promised a picture of my new acquisition:

 

1938 round receiver

Break it down and leave the wood stock out in the driveway in the hot sun on the asphalt. The Cosmo will ooze out of the pores . Go out every so often and wipe it down, repeat as many times as nessasary

If you have room in the oven, set it for about 175 and put the stock in there in a baking pan. All of the cosmoline will come out within 20 or so minutes.

Nice purchase, I also got my first rifle from them, very helpful through the whole process.

i have a huge dislike for shops that spread lies and make up laws that do not exist.. call them and tell them you want the bayonet or you want them to tell you what LAW stops you from owning it.. 

As I recal ace marksman have odd opening hours and weeks at a time there closed.

I lived 5 mins away but did all my buying at the dealer in pole tavern circle.( discount ammo and guns) open all the time, no drama , ask for dusty.

Pole Tavern Circle? Is that the town? or road name?

I had voiced my dislike of the lack of bayonet, and told them I should be allowed to have it, but they countered with 'well the state police told us you can't have knives longer than the palm of your hand, and we don't want to sell anything that would get us in trouble.' 

 

If I knew it would have turned into that, I would have brought the corresponding law with me and showed them. But I'm not concerned about it TBH. It would have just ended up sitting in a corner of my room taking up space. 

 

Urban Grunt, I'm gonna have to go check those guys out. I think I might know where they are too, but there are a couple out of the way places I've seen gun stores at, just can't remember the names. 

Ohh by Roosevelt, thanks.

No argument. Just questions. Does your meat loaf smell like grease? Does kitchen catch fire at 21 minutes? LOL. Just kidding.
