My mauser 71/84 is nearly 140 years old, and has a smoother action than most modern guns, or mil surps... try doing this with a mosin

@DOSagain Also in person. Many people during the revolutionary war made their own round ball over a campfire, and cut patch cloth from old clothes

Powder was shipped in lead containers that was enough to make a number of round balls equivalent to the amount of powder contained, for a .50cal rifle

Any thoughts on the IV8888/olight/FFF debacle

Don't know what that is

easiest to go read about it on forged from freedoms website

Tldr basically is iv8888 shilled for olight and screwed forged from freedom out of some money

@Duke of Mecklenburg lol i own a mosin and i have literally beat the stupid thing open. I still love it though

It's just amazing how smooth even 148 year old Mausers are

Vs Mosins

And mine was actually used in Africa

In various colonial wars

I want to get a mosin but the prices in Canada have gotten stupid

Mosins arent worth it anymore

Once they past $200, it became pointless

The sks is like $500-600 now

I could buy a legit AK or cheap ar for that

...

Mosins are bottom tier mil surp rifles anyway...well, the carcanos are, but you get my point

Some random mauser would be better

From any country

Are you seriously bitching about a piece of history costing >$200?

yes considering theres millions of them and they arent really great rifles

granted most are rusted pieces of shit

>like mine

I'm not buying the Nagant for historical purposes. I'm buying it for being a cheap bolt action rifle with cheap ammo.

If I wanted a historical Nagant, I'd get the Finnish Civil Guard version.

@DOSagain Why not a 30-06, or a .308?

~$300

I suppose I could for a Norico M305A

They were literally like 140-160 until 2013...

Now they're like 300+

Because of idiots entering the market, and paying inflated prices

Also...keep in mind there are Still tens or even hundreds of Thousands of mosins sitting in crates in warehouses, unlike with pretty much every other ww1-ww2 milsurp

There's probably some hijabi with a mosin or two

Everyone has a fucking mosin

And many are still sitting in warehouses in Russia, and Ukraine never touched...And even the market here alone makes standard mediocre condition 91/30 mosins make no sense going past $200

I bought 2, and sold 1 about 2 years ago...for like $250, when I initially bought both for $140

@Duke of Mecklenburg so you're telling me that I should invest in mosins
