Those are ODCMP Field Grade, Springfield Armory, $425.  Top one is 1942, bottom is 1945.  1942 has better wood but some pitting on the reciever.  1945 has great metal.  Both of them need some peening on the gas tube splines though.

Furby,

The launcher is simply the extension on the barrel you see in the picture. The actual thing that makes the grenade go somewhere is a blank round, no projectile. You can come out from under your bed now.

Reloading Nagant revolver ammo!?

The cartrige top is narrower then the bottom, it's impossible to take away a bullet (believe me, i tried it before i went to school :D), and used cartrige is perfectly cylidrical. I liked to play with empty brass when i was a kid, Father brought me several dozens in boxes.

There also were sporting rounds with lower powder charge and a lead bullet deep down inside the cartrige, also there were shortened rounds with short cartridge, but I don't know for sure if they could be used with ordinary full-lenght cylinders or only with shortened ones.

BTW, I never thought that someone makes Nagant rounds abroad.

It isnt easy but it is being done.  There are forums like this specifically aimed at Nagant revolver owners who trade info on what ammo to use and reloading tricks.

Lee is the only company that lists reloading hardware for the Nagant round, but if you order it from the factory you will get a shell holder for a .32-20.  You have to call them and tell them you are specifically reloading Nagant 7.62x38R brass and then they'll send you the correct parts.  I understand RCBS is now making reloading hardware for the Nagant.

Fiocci has been producing the ammo for a few years now, as the original Russian military stuff gets more difficult to find.  The inferior brass they use though is an issue, and the fact that all I can get is FMJ rounds.  I would have expected Wolf to make the ammo if anyone did, being they are a Russian company, but they are a bit slow coming into the market.  They will be welcome though.  They have a big name with mil. sup. shooters.

Yes, the Nagant cartride is very ......... weird ........ but thats half the fun of shooting it.  And of learning to reload it.  Its a challenge.

Nagant revolver is still a standard weapon for non-military government security and people like state-owned bank employees. When one of my girl-friends worked in Sberbank - they got training with Nagants in the shooting range every 6 months. There was so many Nagant ammo produced here that it will still be used in XXII century I think...

Father was a pistol-shooter, sports, when he served in Leningrad, still holds a LenVO record in PM shooting. He said they used Nagants as "free-style" weapons, with anatomical grips and machine-gun heavy barrles (shortened ;)). He said that Nagant is probably as accurate as a hand-gun can ever be.

Estel got a 1940 Nagant rechambered for gas/traumatic ammo, it's all we are allowed to posess here :( Looks impressive, this days noone believes that a PM is a real gun, they make too many gas/traumatic/pneumatic versions, but noone will ever think that a Nagant isn't real :)
