My first firearm

**RedArmyCollector** · 05-21-2010, 03:37 AM

Was at the Kansas City Military show and bought a 1922 Izhevsk Mosin Nagant. The first picture is from a reference site (the only difference is the year) because my camera is utter crap.

I don't think I will shoot it because it's not in the best condition along with being 88 years old.

You should take it to a gunsmith and have it checked out to see if its suitable, I think it would be great to have a chance to fire one of these weapons

Thanks

I shoot all 8 of mine, including a 1904 Model 91.

Clean it out, buy some ammo, go shoot it.

Even in the unlikely event that it blows up, the design of the rifle means that it blows the bottom out of the magazine. Your only idea that "something went wrong" will be the unfired rounds landing on your foot.
