I bought one in 1964 as a 14 year old boy for $2.00 and that's the truth. Still have it and three of the original rounds I got with it. My son shoots it occasionally but my gosh it's got a kick !

Takes you to a happy place huh? It does me.

There's one in my family's collection. A carbine to be precise, hardest kicking rifle I've ever shot.

They aren't that bad....

I feel the same about the Mosin M44, I look forward to the comparison although my shoulder does not.

Its purty. I've never met an 8mm anything that I did not like.

I have found clips but have not bought any yet. I am being cheap for some reason on the clips $50.00 or more for a 5rd. Just seems ridiculous to me.

And I have a bunch of ammo. I use the 8mm lebel brass and convert it to .41swiss.
