      I picked up a Nagant revolver today. Anyone got any thing you recommend?

      Regarding ammo, I think if you see a decent price for the factory stuff (<50 cent/rd), you should buy some even if you don't need it. It seems the supply drys up every once and awhile. Also, just recently there has been some 70's Russian surplus hit the market. The commercial, factory ammo is...

      FFL Transfer fee?

      While a person with a C&R could get you the firearm, such a transaction would be illegal according to the terms of the license. They can only use the license to enhance their personal collection. The good news is, the cost of obtaining your own FFL 03 is about the cost of one transfer at a FFL...

      Polish Radom vs. CZ 82?

      As you mention, the CZ wins the magazine capacity by a factor of 2, but this does mean it's wider. While I don't own a P-64, I do have a Hungarian PA-63, which is another single stack pistol in 9x18mm. The width is first thing I notice when I pick up the CZ-82. That said, I find both acceptably...

      Shooting a pistol under water - High speed video

      Great video. Concerning the gases escaping for the revolver, it'd be cool if there is a follow up with a Nagant Revolver. (For those that don't know, its design moves the cylinder forward just before firing to create a gas seal). Shooting one of those underwater would be an interesting visual of...

      September 24 Rochester Appleseed

      Just got back from my first Appleseed. A few thoughts: Nearly every shooter was using a scope, so don't feel bad at all about that. As far as semi-automatic versus bolt-action, if you have a semi-auto that you feel good about, that's what I would use. Have the bolt-action for back-up though. If...

      Cloverdale Aug 27/28

      Nice meeting you too hooky (this is Andrew). Had a great experience and am excited to start the practicing!

      How many different calibers do you have?

      I regularly shoot 9x18mm, 7.62x54R, and .22lr, but I have firearms chambered in 7.62 Nagant and 8mm Mauser.

      7.62x54R Issue (w/ pics)

      I've mostly kept it as a SHTF stockpile (have 231 rounds left now), but like I said, I gave it one more try with a different gun, same result. I saw where I can rent a set of 7.62x54R headspace gauges for less than $20. I will likely do that soon to error on the side of caution. That's...

      7.62x54R Issue (w/ pics)

      That makes a lot of sense. What rim thickness variance would concern you? I will see if I can get a hold of some decent calipers to check the thickness. Maybe I'll head over to Applied Ballistics and try to borrow some for quick second.

      7.62x54R Issue (w/ pics)

      I won't deny that it may be related to headspace, but I've run probably 6 other types of surplus (Russian, Czech, Yugo, Polish, etc.) as well as some Prvi Paritzan through my Mosins and never had any type of issue at all (no FTF, no blowback, nothing). I feel safe shooting the guns, just not...

      7.62x54R Issue (w/ pics)

      Thanks for the replies. I should mention that I've tried this ammo in two different Mosins with the same results. Also, the only reason I tried it again recently was because this time, I carefully inspected every case I shot. Before, I would load without taking note of damage (which in hindsight...

      7.62x54R Issue (w/ pics)

      Soon after I got my first Mosin Nagant, I picked up some cheap surplus at a gun show. I think it's 1952 Bulgarian light ball. It looks really dirty and when I shoot it, sometimes I get "blowback" in my face. It's not harmful, but anticipating it makes being accurate difficult. I stopped shooting...

      Cloverdale Aug 27/28

      I'm still planning on coming. Haven't bought my ticket yet, but I should shortly. With regards to camping, is there going to be a place to safely make a fire?

      Range in the West Lafayette area?

      Just got back from Applied Ballistics. As others have said, easily my favorite indoor range. I've rented one of their Class III full-autos before and really enjoyed the experience. It definitely ups the money factor, but it would make the trip that more more special. I rented a Uzi, but I...

      New season of top shot starts tonight

      To me, it seems the producers spend a lot of effort trying to make it "reality TV", but they can only do so much through editing. Sure there are alliances and what not, but it's not as much part of the competition as it is for Survivor for instance. Quite often a person will volunteer for...

      Appleseeds in August?!

      My friend and I are planning for Cloverdale to be our first Appleseed. I'm really looking forward to it; will register soon.

      Value of Mosin sniper?

      A search on Gunbroker didn't turn up much. I think that this would be a great investment type firearm. Enemy guns from current and future wars are almost certainly going to stay away from the domestic market, so the rifle is part of a fixed supply niche. Next, Mosin Nagants are popular enough to...

      do any indiana dealers stock machine guns?

      Applied Ballistics in Lafayette has a few in stock. For rent they had an Uzi and an MP5 the last time I was there. Both were available for purchase, though I forget how much. They had a few others too, but it's been a few weeks since I've been there. They are a site sponsor, so you might get a...

      So How much does renting a gun cost??

      There's a place called Applied Ballistics in Lafayette that does a lot of renting. The link shows their prices. The only thing I've ever rented was a Class III, i.e., full-auto Uzi, that cost $50 for 30 min (included one box of ammo). The experience was awesome. For that weapon, a store employee...

      Bored with the Mosin

      Sounds like an exciting project for sure! Can hardly wait for the pics.
