OK! That does it! AH has finally fell under Billy's JuJu! His posts have Billy written all over them! Help Moose!

I heard back from the seller of the 30-30 mosin. It is a converted m44 NOT an m38. At least he picked a common rifle to bubba.

SwedeSteve · 03-28-2008, 08:55 PM

Good deal! Dead Russians won't haunt him in his sleep!

texnmidwest · 03-28-2008, 08:58 PM

LOL! that is true. I kinda feel bad. The guy is out of town and his poor wife was trying to answer the question I asked.

If someone could fix the feed problem it would make an interesting rifle. Kinda interesting. I may just bid on it!

SwedeSteve · 03-28-2008, 09:00 PM

Its gonna be all about the magazine! And case overall length, and rim size difference. Or maybe it's just a thang with the interruptor!?!?

texnmidwest · 03-28-2008, 09:11 PM

Maybe we could rig up a box magazine say from an old savage or something....

SwedeSteve · 03-28-2008, 09:17 PM

Or just shorten the existing one internally?

texnmidwest · 03-28-2008, 09:24 PM

NA NAW, too easy. Anybody could do that. Gotta make it challenging.

at4rxj · 03-29-2008, 02:07 PM

lol

If you get called a bubba on this forum, you know you did something wrong.

marion57 · 03-29-2008, 03:18 PM

You are all laughing about conversion to 30-30 what would you think about 30-06??
Well its was done bye a man called Bannerman and some of his rifles are still around!
They are a def collector item .Collect only never never fire one
Bannerman Rifles
Yeah I know tex I am so smart LOL,
My wife said that smart is only half a word

texnmidwest · 03-29-2008, 03:27 PM

LOL!!! Marion, your wife is a wise woman.

And very patient.

So this bannerman rifle is not a shooter because it can not handle the pressures of the 06?

rfc357 · 03-29-2008, 03:33 PM

The 7.62x54 case is wider in the body than a .30-06. All Bannerman's boys did to the rifles was run a .30-06 chambering reamer into the 7.62 chamber. The .30-06 case would sometimes burst upon firing. Not a good thing.

the whole bannerman thing is quite a story Tex I recomend reading it

ghost_raven · 03-31-2008, 01:16 PM

My mind is still blown as to why someone would bubbafy a Mosin in such a way. Usually, modifications are meant to be improvements.

Of course, this is from someone who refuses to bubbafy his M39 even with a scope.

texnmidwest · 03-31-2008, 01:23 PM

I bet the guy had this M44 that had a shot out barrel. So he thought "Hey, what if I just tinkered with it some. I have this 30-30 barrel....". If it would feed properly might be fun! 30-30 ammo is 9 bucks a box and hunting ammo for the Mosin is about that and more so might make sense.

Well, maybe not.

marion57 · 03-31-2008, 01:31 PM

Tex Did you read the thing on Bannerman?
Go read my thing on SKS question also

texnmidwest · 03-31-2008, 01:35 PM

I did read it Marion. Pretty interesting stuff!

Marion, which thread did you say your post about sks is? I looked under sks question and am not seeing it.

SwedeSteve · 03-31-2008, 03:21 PM

I went back and reread this thread. Great input, and a whole lot of BS! I love it! Soda and ketchup, ROFL! True, true, true! 7.62x39 is too light? You might as well say "I wouldn't trust a 30-30 for deer under 100m". WHAT? Someone ought to buy that 30-30 Mosin and hand it out as an annual "G&G Mosin Bubba of the Year Award" LOL
