good first milsurp rifle?

[manboy]

I can bring my 91/30 over to IDPA night if you want to take a look at one.

why yes i do..... if you don't mind. got any milsurp rifles for sale Stevo? just in case i get hooked?


thanks for all the info fellas. i don't really need to scope it, i just happen to have more optics than rifles at the moment, and some of them are brand new......i was feeling sorry for them.

i do reload, so availability is not really an issue once i get my hands on the brass. is the milsurp brass reloadable for 7.62x54R, or is it dirty laquer coated tin made from recycled tractors? also, are reloading dies for the milsurp calibres fairly common, or do yuo guys end up having to special order them?

As a matter of fact, that particular 91/30 is for sale, how coincidental! I'm getting out of long MNs and sticking with the carbine models. Got lots of ammo too.

Most milsurp 54R is steel cased with lacquer or copper wash exterior, and Berdan primed. Not reloadable. Commercial Boxer brass is available. Milsurp calibre dies are readily available. If you're just blasting, it's not really cost effective to reload for the MN with the current prices on milsurp.
