ken98k Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Lots of guns, lots of Mausers, prices varied wildly. My buddy bought his first "Black Gun". We went shooting after the show, he's now lost to the dark side. I bought this Russian mod. 44 in 7.62X54R from an FFL dealer. He told me it had been sporterized and he even showed me what a great job they did bend the bolt down. I had to agree. I gave him $100 and a pos derringer.

montea6b Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Pretty funny what people will come up with. If you aren't sure just guess and pretend... Is it really 7.62x54? 'Cuz that would entail some work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spec4 e4 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 I'll be sueing the dealer for false info. LOL. Nice catch. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montea6b Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 6.5X55 As we all suspected... I guess if you're not sure of the caliber it's better to just make something up rather than appear ignorant. Doesn't really work though, does it?

sayak Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I had to look twice because the fore stock has those grip toughs like a Russian does. But the tip off is the lack of a magazine. I know you can reduce the mag to just a floor plate on an Enfield, but I have never seen it done on a Mosin or any variant thereof. That is a pretty gun, and should you want to get rid of it for any reason... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sayak Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Oy vey! This from an FFL licensee... Paul I've heard that term but had to look it up to be sure. Yiddish for "Oh dear" or the like. Why Oy vey? Especially on a site entitled "sporterizing.com? That is a beautiful rifle; very understated IMO. Not some veteran warrior turned into a gaudy, urban assault weapon. I have had a swede for better than twenty years. It is a real shooter and actually more sporterized (in the old style) than this example, though I did not do it.

I have a couple other sweedes but have only sporterized one myself. I bought this one as an action only. I used it to harvest a caribou last March.
