Just interested how much is ammo its the 7.62 X54R?

They seem to be cheaper than the Lee Enfield and the ammunition seems to be easier to come by coz the Russians still make them for the PKM.

My Grandfather was one of the Irish Volunteers who was mobilised to March to meet the Aud to unload the rifles in Kerry in 1916. They were rifles the Germans captured off the Russians during the opening battles of WW1, I think at the battle of the Masurian Lakes.

I magine if they had landed, there would be far more Mosin nagants than Lee Enfields at the Classic Rifle events.

LiamLad,
Have you considered an Enfield, K31, or K98?

LiamLad · 22-08-2014 11:50pm

FISMA....nothing set in stone yet, i like the rugedness of the mosin and its history....but if i had the choice of a mosin or k98 which ever would feel best and fit best i would buy.

I have had them all and would greatly urge you to consider buying, in this order:
1) Enfield No4 Mk2
2) Mauser K98
3) Swiss K31

If the Springfield 03 was available in Eire, it might have been #4. However, it is just a bootlegged Mauser, so it does not make the list. The Garand would be at the top, but for obvious reasons, she is not there.

I have an Irish Enfield and a K31. I had two Nagants which I traded with a few other toys for a nice Browning.

The Enfield and the K31 are a quantum leap above the Nagants. There are a few things I like about the Nagants, but again, they are few.

I would recommend getting a Nagant if you were paying $100 or $200, but nothing more.

For the prices you are going to pay in Eire, along with the hassle, save a few more euro and get the Enfield or K31. They are both that much better.

Were they not originally zeroed with the bayonet on?

EWQuinn · 25-08-2014 2:59pm

Supposedly with bayonet fixed, although I doubt it would make too much difference.

Maybe enough to justify having it on the gun?

EWQuinn · 26-08-2014 4:29am

My view, I think you want it on the gun for historical accuracy if nothing else, if allowed in ROI.

Check this link out (below), it seems pretty good. It talks about battle sight zero and how to adjust one, and the affect of the bayonet.

Edit: Just noticed, this link is Part 3, which appears on topic for what you are asking. At the bottom of that article are links to parts 1 and 2, first of which is kind of a buying guide. Overall it seems pretty good.

(PS I have an M39 Finnish Mosin, so I can't help too much with the Model 91 from personal experience, but people seem to really like them. With the M39, Finns put shims in the stock under the receiver, and to keeping it shooting straight its all about keeping the shims in place and tight.)
