Nagant M1895's at Cabela's

[Aragorn243]

I did go back up today and picked one up. I asked the fellow to bring out as many as he could, he brought out three. First one out of the box was a 1932 Tula with a very nice bore and wood grips. #2 was a WWII Izhevsk with a dark bore and bad rifling and plastic grips. #3 was a WWII Izhevsk with good rifling but a dark bore and plastic grips. By this time I figured which one was going home but I asked him to bring out two more which he did. A second Tula WWII manufacture and another Izhevsk WWII manufacture with plastic grips and slightly pitted bores were what came out of that batch.

So I now have a 1932 Tula with wood grips. Nice looking gun with the exception of the import mark which is very nasty. Seems to function nicely, grips look very nice and match. With the plastic grips, the portions they replace are the outer two but there is wood in the center as well which they left in place. The wood is a light reddish color and the plastic grips are dark brown. It has been refinished, the trigger guard is Izhevsk.

They come with an imitation leather holster with leather straps, a leather lanyard, a two piece reversible screwdriver with wood handle and a cleaning rod.

They now have no ammo in the store. I went to get a box and they were all gone. Had half a dozen on the shelf as of Thursday. They did pull the box out of the case for me which was three rounds short and knocked off $5 for it. The guy and I were both wondering where the three rounds went, possibly inside a sold revolver but the fellow that sold it to me was very paranoid about checking the cylinders so it wasn't him.

My cost: $0.00 for the pistol and box of ammo. I love their rewards program, highly recommend it.
