Just couldn't pass up a good deal.. My first Nagant revolver!

[Adam7]

Browsing armslist when o saw an add from my absolute favorite LGS.  A quick call later and they put it on hold for me.  For the cool price of $133 out the door with holster I just couldn't say no!  To top it off, they had a 59/66 on the rack as well... All matching with tapco stock(original stock and magazine included) for $300 otd.  I figure I can hock the stock for $60 and I have a $240 all matching yugo.  It's now on layaway.

Nice score!   

Getting hard to find these anymore under $170 and yours came with a holster.  I can only make out the 4 of the year stamp but it looks like a 1944 Tula, since the hammer inside the star was distinctive for that year (according to 7.62x54r.net). 

I don't have one of these revolvers but it's definitely on my list.  There are so many interesting traits: the longevity of service, the attendant history, the odd cartridge, and the unique "sealing" mechanism.

You're going to feel like such a stud when you whip that thing out at the range. They're a riot to shoot!

Very nice scores!

I find the revolvers grossly under powered and awkward as all hell in the hand.  But its a neat item to have.

Adam some people have all the luck, what a very nice double score!! If you're going to shoot that Nagant, how bout a range report?!

[Blicero]

And a range report on that k98 that we haven't seen good pics of yet!

The k98 is still in layaway.  Something happened and they now want $430 out he door for it (it was supposed to be $350). Undecided if I am going to leave it there or get it out.  I only have $20 into it.  I'll have to see how my funds play out for me.  I have until the end of January on it.

As for the Nagant.  Once I get some ammo I will definitely give a range report.  I just had a FNH hi-power show up today so I am itching to get to the range!

[Blicero]

They're jacking up the price on you after you came to an agreement with them?
Pardon my language, but it properly expresses my feelings- that's total horse****. I would never do business with that place again. What's their excuse? Yeah and let's see this HP!

Okay Adam,sounds good...this gets you off the hook!

Refresh my memory for me..  Can you fire the S&W variations of the .32 cartridge in the Nagants?  jd

32 s&w longs....   I have done it.

[jd?]

Hmmm. I can load those I think.  I load 32 Smith and Wesson (short) for a little pea-shooter I've got, and I think I can simply raise the sizer die and do the long's. 

I've been gonna get one of those old Nagants for awhile.  I shoot a lot of DA pistol, and my trigger finner is pretty tough.  I think pull on those is about forty pounds. jd

[Loose}{Cannon]

Definitely a heavy single action trigger......   

[jackpine]

you did good on the that one
