I don't have any Mosins myself, but I've been wanting to learn about different configurations of them, find and decide on the one I want. Would a "wanting" to be a mosin owner be welcome to come, talk, see, walk and learn with you at this event? I've never even fired a Mosin, maybe I could grab a few rounds and hope some nice people would let me put a couple down range.
(Out of curiosity where does Mosin recoil stand with say a 7mm Mag?)
Faine, I have had my mosins for about 5 years and studying mosins for about that long. I am still finding variations. You won't know which variation you want until you decide what you want your mosin for...then you can go to a few shows and dealer crates***,drive them all crazy by going through every mosin they have until you find the mosin that suites you. They are not all created equal, so be patient.
There is a link in post 7 to last years info.The sooner you come up with a date the better for me. July is a hectic month. Where exactly is the place you want to have it.
I'm not far (Camby'ish) if you ever want to have a local mosin shoot.
Weather and wife permitting I'm always up for going shooting!
I would like to know if this OP Event is planned to be open to non-Mosin owners to provide some learning experience though. It's a bit of a drive for me but far enough out that I should be able to make it if it is, who knows, might end up meeting up with some people around here and learning the basics and be able to bring a Mosin by the time July rolls around.
Sure, anyone can come. Just can't shoot against us with a Remchester. Gotta have a Mosin to compete (for the money in any case)
