And I was chastised for asking about a good source for ammo . . . a moderator informed me that they didn't want shooting topics over there.atticus wrote: I got in trouble over on the 7.62x54R website forum because I referred to a Izhevsk arsenal gun as an "Izzy." Seriously, that was it.

Re: The Mosin family.
Quite the collection.
I just bought a 1939 Izhvesk 91/30 from Cabela's (at $99 I couldn't resist) and spent the better part of 2 weeks cleaning it up . . . a HUGE amount of fouling came out of the bore - it took a lot of work with a bronze brush, Hoppe's BR9, and JB bore paste. From all the stamps on it (I think every Ivan who touched it added his mark to prove to the commissar he was working for the glory of the Motherland) it seems to have been refurbished at a Soviet facility in the Ukraine.
Now I just need to get some ammo . . . lots of places on the web selling milsurp, any recommendations on a specific source?
