I think that speaks primarily to magazine capacity, more than anything else. How many total rounds did he shoot? Ad you must remember, no one was shooting back!

alright next question for the mosin crew?

i know that surplus ammo sometimes is plentiful and sometimes not. with my experience i have learned more scarce than anything else(7.62x54r). I want to get me a good case of milsurp just for stocking up . but also what are your opinions on what kind i should get. any of them good brass to reload? any advice is sweet. and finally, WHERE CAN I GET SOME(frustration)!!!!

Try J&G Sales , Cheaper Than Dirt - America's Ultimate Shooting Sports Discounter , AIMSurplus, your home for surplus ammunition, guns and firearms , etc. To my knowledge, boxer-primed surplus '54 R ammo is exceedingly rare. You might want to stick with Prvi Partizan (Wolf Gold) or S&B (Winchester), just for the reloadable brass.

thanks toolman! im gonna check everything out and see what i can get going.

SwedeSteve · 03-25-2008, 11:05 PM

You can buy ammo to shoot, or buy new unprimed brass as well.

Every time I see a ammo question it makes me glad I bought plenty when i did

I saw a program recently on the Military Channel about the British Royal Marines, and it was stressing how good they were at throwing down a hail of fire from a squad with Enfields, and how fast they could shoot them. It was pretty impressive.

Those poor Brits were getting plenty of practice with them during those years. It was either get good or die. Enfields are great rifles. But a lot of credit came to the Brit firing them.

SwedeSteve · 03-26-2008, 12:52 PM

That's for sure!

minkowski1552 · 03-28-2008, 12:12 AM

I agree Tex.

SwedeSteve · 03-28-2008, 08:53 PM

But again, that could be applied to ANY infantryman, shooting to save his @$$!

texnmidwest · 03-28-2008, 09:03 PM

How very true Swede! I just give a great thanks to those that did so I didn't have to!

SwedeSteve · 03-28-2008, 09:05 PM
