I picked up the Mosin Nagant 91/30 that I won for $125.00 on Gunbroker on Thursday (7/11/2019) from my FFL (even though I’m a type 3 FFL Stupid CA). I got it home and checked the headspace; nothing matches on this rifle, but I knew that when I bought it and all the more reason that I wanted to check the headspace.
It’s in pretty rough condition but much better than I thought it was. Since I had RSO duty at San Diego South Bay Rod and Gun club I took the rifle out and put some rounds on paper. I didn’t want to run good ammo through it so I grabbed a few rounds of Silver Bear 174 Grain that was given to me a while back. It didn’t shoot too bad even with the crapy Silver Bear ammo and crapy old eyes through the iron sights. The grouping at 100 yards should be better with good ammo and after putting a little work into the rifle. That is if I decide to keep it, not quite sure what I want to do with it; did not expect to win the auction with a minimum bid LOL.
