and now for the most fun part.....cleaning....again.  What is that saying, if you like ridding down mountain, you should enjoy taking sled back up that mountain.




Mauser was having little problems. Firing pin needs to more forward, and extractor sometimes doesn’t grab round properly.

the nagant is a very weak round in a very large revolver.  It is about equal to a .32 auto.

It shares one thing with another famous .32.... the walther PP in that it was the weapon of choice for shooting helpless dissedents and undesirables in the back of the head while kneeling over their graves.

It is, like the walther, more than adequate for this job.

You can pull the bullet from a nagant round with an inertia bullet puller quite easily.   You can also buy a cyl that converts the gun to .32 auto

The fact that the cyl moves forward creates the worst double action trigger pull of any revolver made to date.

All in all... unless the little extra bit of silencing it gives you is all important...

all in all... the nagant is a complex solution to a non existent problem.

It is like someone set out to make a revolver as useless as they could.
