Modacity shooters' thread

You can see how canted the sight is. Gonna have to see how it shoots on paper, then adjust accordingly.

Has anybody shot the Nagant revolver? They're dirt cheap and thinking about getting one, what do you guys think

Get an Iver Johnson 32 instead. They are of similar make, have a similar price range, and unless you actually intend on paying ridiculous prieces for the original Nagant ammo, they fire the same round (32 Smith).

Buy one, stamp that bitch, suppress.

Also I heard that its moon ammo is starting to appear in decent amounts, so it's not as prohibitively expensive at the moment.

I'm still tossing around what to get next. Need to find a new apartment first though....and a puppy too (malamute of course)

Also I lol'd at this

Mostly at just the big ass cameras they have mounted

I fired my grandpa's, and since the ammo's so expensive he loads his own. The problem was that the tip of the bullet was too long and it would block the revolving mechanism, even though it appeared to be of the perfect length. I think its because the drum moves around so much. So if you get one, that could be something to consider.

Reloading the thing is a royal pain in the ass too.

Scored a Romanian M44 1955, I'll get pictures once the cosmo is cleaned up. I got it for $120, it was a successful gun show this week.

Very nice! Congratulations!

After a long tedious task of cleaning cosmo, including the wood its done! Bolt body does not match but everything else does. Bore needs scrubbing thou. All parts are Romanian including the stock wood.

Came with a Romanian Sling(?) and romanian supplies. It also came with a SAFETY tag with I found funny. More pics in the spoiler, I'll take the usual "gun on the rock" picture later.

Beautiful. Just stocked up on a couple hundred rounds of 5.56 and 7.62x54. It's goin to be a fun day Monday, just thought I'd share :)
