So I bought my new gun ;)

[Nefarious]

That's cool stuff, I wouldn't mind getting into flintlock or other Pre 1900 firearms.

What is the bore on your Charleville?

It measures right at .69.  I like the .678 because I can load them unpatched easily, but they aren't too loose.  I do stuff a small wad of paper on top of the ball just to keep it in place for safety.

There are quite a few military flintlock replicas available, usually made in India, that are really pretty inexpensive.  That's what my Charleville is.  This is my first flint lock, and I have been enjoying it a lot.  I plan to acquire a flintlock rifle of higher quality sometime in the future.

I'll post a picture of my babies later. I've got an assortment of nagants

I'd be interested to see them.  I have lots of guns, but I think the only thing I really collect is old double barrel shot guns.  I have quite a few of them now.

So I just bought a 91/30 Mosin Nagant. Unfortunately because of californias stupid gun laws I cant pick it up for 10 days. But I also bought 440 rounds online. I cant WAIT till next saturday. Im going to be there 20 min before the store opens, run in, grab it, run out and go clean it. Then going to shoot it! lol

A buddy of mine bought a couple MN's from Buds when they had their clearance sale.  Another buddy I came to find out later bought a friggin crate.  They shot great and are a hell of a lot cheaper to feed than my hunting and competition habit.  I wasn't tasked to clean the goo off of any of them so my experience was made that much more enjoyable.

I made the mistake of adding up how many Mosin Nagants I could have bought for the price of these:



These pictured were lost in a tragic boating accident 5 minutes ago just after I took the picture.  I don't have any of my primitive guns with me here but a T/C Omega .50 and a Grey Hawk .50 customized with a welding rod front sight reside elsewhere.  No NFA guns or accessories pictured.  This picture may cause cancer in California.

Oh no Golfer, the peoples representatives of the democratic republic of Ohio will offer their condolances for the tragic loss of "insert communist joke"

Veeeeerrry nice collection.

Amazing how often that happens these days.

This is my favorite shot gun in my collection.  It belonged to my Great grandfather, and we estimate that it dates from the late 1880s.





I have purchased some low pressure shells from a company in Georgia and occaisionally shoot it.

Here are all of my babies.

top to bottom :

Weatherby 30/06
Finnish M39 (1940)
Ishvek 91/30 (1940) (I bought it for $60 at a gun show with a cracked stock, and fixed it and put a finish with 4 coats of clearcoat)
Tula M38 (1940)
Polish M44 (1954)
Sako M39 (1940)

I have another Tula 91/30 but I didnt have it when I took this picture.

Also, all of the guns pictured above (except the weatherby, I won that in a raffle) I payed no more than $130 for. The Mosins were a product of about half of a summers work.

edit: If anyone ever has questions about Mosins feel free to send me a PM. I dont know much about stuff, but I do know alot about Mosin Nagants.
