Helped A Friend Recently

He made a video about it.

Cheap fixes are the best.

Frankenmosin

It's alive and ready to go (the 1939 Mosin, that is). I have a range trip planned for Wednesday. Pics maybe? Maybe even a youtube video? I don't know. I should also be working with my friend who, hopefully, will be bringing his Mosin and his new Archangel stock.

Stripper Clips In a Mosin Nagant

You have to watch this is if you own a Mosin and use stripper clips. I wish I could get a translation. Watch how smooth his bolt moves (sigh).

Well, it appears blogger and youtube aren't getting along tonight. Do a search for this:

or this

and you should get there. I hope.

Why, Mosin, Why?

So, when I got home from work this evening a little earlier than normal, the spouse sent me to my room while she worked on a Father's Day gift with the kids. Rather than disappear into another part of the house and waste time, I thought I would run out into the garage and do a little sporterizing.

A Mosin For Every Plan and a Plan for Every Mosin

Thought about installing the scope I bought on the Mosin today, but have decided to wait. I'd like to see how it shoots with just the irons first and then move to all the foolishness to get the scope mounted. Might save me the trouble if it won't group or keyholes or something stupid. So instead I got a 300 lumen light with remote switch installed on the HD rifle. Mark me down for getting something done besides laundry anyway.

Pulling it Together

I'm working on something a little longer and going all biblical. More later.
