Ok, somebody may get their feelings hurt.
What is this love affair with the Mosin Nagant? I've never heard of this rifle untill I started reading TFL. Do some of you have a truckload of these you're trying to get rid of? This thing looks like it was made in high school shop class yet there is some of you that are fanatical about this POS that was made by Communist heathens. I bet if I did a search on TFL, I'd get at least a hundred references to it. Here's how it usually goes...
'Novice Hunter'- "Hi I need a cheap rifle for my first hunt...."
'Responder'- "Get yourself a Mosin Nagant. They're awesome"
NO! Don't do this. If you want something cheap that kills, make a trip to your local pawn shop. Plenty of guys on hard times trying to pay the bills selling Grandpappy's lever gun.
'Paper Puncher'- "Hi I need a rifle for making holes in paper..."
'Responder'- "Get yourself a Mosin Nagant. They're awesome.
NO! If you want a nice gun for that, save your money and get something you won't look like a complete tool shooting. I'm not talking you have to get something that looks right out of STAR WARS. But a decent rifle. We're trying to promote the hobby. Don't do it with something that Ivan whittled out of Russian Pine and old tractor parts. If you just want to make noise and holes in paper, I'd rather you get a Red Rider BB gun and a box of firecrackers.
I'm surprised I haven't heard this one yet....
'Worried Homeowner'-" I need something for home defense..."
'Responder'- " Get a Mosin Nagant. They're awesome"
Why do seemingly sensible people suggest this abomination?
There are way better rifles out there that can be had. Please stop with the Mosin Nagant love fest.
Rant over...Let's get it on...Ding! Ding!
