Had to get this thread going again, been too long since the last post.

Picked this up on Sunday. Shot a total of six flawless rounds at the range today. Would have shot more but sadly, no ammo...

See my sig line.

Nice love mine, even though it could use a fresh cote of blue

I'll keep it original even though it is a great candidate for restoration, it's possibly also the oldest surviving model 30 a true transitional and not bad at the range either

I will get some more Mosin's together and other countries later but you can pick these apart for a while. I have shot all of these except the Rolling Block and the Trapdoor, I don't load blackpowder. If the pictures don't line up then good luck, this computer baffles me anyway. Forgot have not shot the P38 as it just came to live with me a couple of weeks ago.

If it is throwing the cases 50ft away and feels like it is beating up the receiver you could switch it down to 1.2. If it fails to cycle/throws the empties 6 inches away you may try the next highest setting.

Mine shoots okay on 1.2. Good luck, they are great rifles!
