I think I'm going to install this platform on my 24/47 when I receive it.

Any thoughts?

I'd rather buy a Mosin PU...I MAY do it after christmas (depending on funds...and if I wanna sell one of my Mosin's or not)

Though I would find it rather difficult to sell any of my guns. It's like that feel when you pick up a rifle it just speaks to you..well for me it does if I pick up a certain old rifle. Exception being my WASR 10/63 and my heavily refurbed 91/30 '43 Izhevsk..in which the 91/30 I traded for a HDTV earlier this year.

Let's see I have a

-Romanian M44
-2 Izhevsk M38's
-Izhevsk 91/30
-Winchester Lever-Action Mod 94
-WASR 10/63
-10 Gauge Belgium Double Barrel shotgun

And a soon to come to my collection is a Remington M91..though the poor thing got sporterized back in the 30's (stock, and the barrel got chopped to 24 inches but still has original front sight). Pictures on Friday hopefully.

I always think "oh man, I could sell this gun to help pay for that gun" But then I'm like "well...then I don't have both....and I really kind of want to have both " So I find it hard to sell guns lol

Haven't added anything to my collection in a while hoping to get something soon

The guaranteed to outshoot any Springfield or Mauser part makes me go "lol, Ross" as I have seen many sub MOA groups produced from Mausers and Springfields here in the states.

Acceptance standard for a WWII infantry rifle was typically around 3MOA, blowing out to 4-5MOA for semiautos because they are inherently less accurate and it was even more noticeable back then. The overwhelming majority of Kar98ks and M1903s will fall in the 2-4MOA range depending on condition and original build quality. Mosins vary widely for the same reasons.

91/30 sniper acceptance standard was slightly over MOA. Most of them shoot under, the rest shoot at or slightly over. Very few are outside the acceptance standard (I believe it was 1.3) and most of those were badly fucked by time and use.

A Kar98k or 1903 might shoot MOA with a good handload and a lot of fuckery. A 91/30 PU will shoot MOA with Soviet military ammunition.

What's validity of this site Ross? I have seen a few "authentic PU scopes" in the past to find out they were forgeries from Ukraine. If they're legit might have to snag me another pu sniper.

They are confirmed legit, not just by me but by collectors in general. Only the most dense of the tinfoil hat brigade harbour doubts, and they are all stupid ones that are easily disproven.

Look who's going to try a "Assault Weapons Ban" I know what I'm going to do with my WASR..keep it.

The whole argument against "assault weapons" is so flawed a 4 year old could make a better argument for the existence of Santa. That said, it's a retarded debate argued by emotion, on both sides, with the intention of solving all of america's problems with the signing of a bill while ignoring what's really wrong. I think it's best we avoid that discussion here.

Columbine, which many people recognize as the first of these events to recieve this kind of attention, happened after an "assault weapons ban", and that shit didn't help at all.

That's a good point. The K98s and 1903s I have seen shoot well were refurbs with modern barrels and ammo.

I wonder if the NRA will support it like they did last time?

Don't fall into the trap of believing either the NRA or the Republicans (or any other right-wing party) give a flying toss about your right to bear arms when they don't give a flying toss about you in the first place. The NRA has a long and proud history of either quietly ignoring or actively supporting anti-gun legislation, and most of the right-wing filth American gun owners look to for salvation are the same people who passed AWBs or tried to extend them in their own states, who support Government surveillance with absolutely no checks or balances, and who already go out of their way to make individuals powerless against the corporations that bankroll their campaigns. You are deluding yourself if you think Romney wouldn't be clamping down on guns to score points as well, especially since he's done it before.

There is zero threat from the UN, as well, despite idiotic right-wing nationalistic agitation. Anyone who thinks the UN has any power to do anything about privately-owned guns in the US is an idiot and could probably use a sharp punch in the jaw to aid them in realising this.

You are no better off on that side of the fence than you are on the left where, oddly enough, there are a lot of gun owners. I am sick of partisan politics being linked to gun-having.

I think I saw somewhere about the NRA supporting the ban...also I can not buy ammo or walk into a gun store at all.

In other news I aquired the sporterized Remington M91...holy crap it's beautiful..if only they kept the buttplate then it would be an all matching rifle despite being sporterized. I have to work soon so I'll post pics later.
