Yes. I told my dad I wanted one, gonna see if I can order it this afternoon.
The pre-1942 dated Nagants are much better for finish and fit than the WWII production. Same with the rifles.
Actually the Russian surplus they are selling now, if its the same as the 14 rounds per box stuff I already have, is milder than the commercial ammo. The pics look like it, same box, and the cases do not have the flanged mouth that seal the chamber when firing. When I ordered the last batch I was told it is target ammo.
The military surplus is definitely much more potent than the commercial ammo. For a while there was Russian target ammo that came in yellow 14 round boxes and had the same tapered case mouth vs the flange crimped case mouth of the commercial stuff.
Cheapshooter what is pictured is the military surplus, and no place in the add says "target". That looks like the same stuff I got from AIMSurplus a few years ago. The stuff I got blows the socks off the Fiocchi and Hotshot/.prvi ammo. If I remember correctly, the russian target ammo (not mil-surp, came in a white or yellow 14 round box) had a deeply recessed bullet
If you want to stay in the milsurp guns, and Communist Bloc I would suggest the more modern, easier, and cheaper to feed 9X18 Makarov chambered CZ82.For 250 I could get a revolver and 140 rounds of ammo. Including the holster and everything needed to maintain it. Ammo from grafs and the Nagant from AIM. It's more and more tempting by the second!
