Typical Soviet utilitarian. Like everything they manufacture. Sturdy, unique, dependable, effective. I'd hate to be staring into the business end of a Nagant or Tokarev hoping it would mis-fire

Swap it for a 98K. You"ll be happy.

I have two they are so unique and cool. I purchased new brass. But I have plenty of new surplus Russian ammo.

I bought one many years ago with holster and all the cleaning stuff when they first started coming in. I think it cost me $100. I like shooting it and it is very accurate. Mine is a SA only model, which I guess are a bit harder to find.

I took it to the range a couple of months ago with a couple of friends who have never seen one before and are both interested in firearms, and their history. They both liked it a lot.

Like others have said, they are a piece of history and I think an interesting piece of history at that!

MOST IMPORTANT:
You are the only one in your neighborhood that has one

I bought one from AIM for $189 awhile back and I love it. Worth every penny. Fun to shoot, easy to take apart and clean, and just neat. I have bought PPU factory ammo and the cardboard box milsurp stuff and it all seems to work fine. Mine has a CCCP stamping (Tula) and 1924 year mark.

Watch,,, Enemy at the Gates. Get a mosins nagant too.

Be glad you got it... likely won't be coming back the same way they were.

I got mine right around the Sandy Hook shooting (as well as a Yugo Tokarev, and a spam can of ammo for both), because I felt there was going to be a rush on all guns. The Nagant was $100, with the $10 hand select fee. Happy with my 1940 Tula.

Same reason why I just picked up a nice Yugo M48A... guns like these are starting to dry up. Get what you want while you can.

Here's what you want to put on when you show that relic off:

Halfway and one more step

Look like Russian B52's. There people just like us.

Comrad Gatorfarmer.

The Nagant must be cleaned with Russian vodka over a pan.

Drink ze pan contents and proceed to step 2.

Use real bear grease on all moving parts.

Wash hands over pan with vodka.

Drink contents of pan. P.S. Use plenty of Vodka to wash grease from hands.

Next schetp. Open another bottley and wash gun over pan.

Drink pan.

Next step................ Where were we?

Gator, do you love your Nagant pistol yet?

The ownerat my local pawn shop thought it was a Webley at first and had somehow never seen one. Finding it fascinating he traded me a Taurus .25 auto, which I actually wanted as I happened to have a nice ankle holster that needed filling. And I still haven't gotten a new shotgun as I initially set out to.

Gator, what milsurps do you still have?

With me? A sporterized Winchester 1917 .30-0.

Back in Michigan....Whatever I left in that crate with my mother. There was an Irish No 4 Mk2, a Maadi AK, maybe 2 other Enfields, a Turkish Mauser, a Finn Mosin Nagant, maybe two Swedish Mausers, a Garand, a DaeWoo Dr200, a Baby Browning, a Star Mod A, a CZ 27, maybe two other Mosins, a Sporterized WW1 German 98 Mauser, an Argentine Mauser carbine, and a Czech Model 52 among other things. There should be an AMT DAO .45, a T/C Contender, a store brand .30/30, a disassembled S&W top break, a Llama .380, a 10/22 and several shotguns there too. This marks 17 years since I left that stuff, I guess it is like a museum of the 90s surplus market. I think there were at least 20 guns, likely more.

I have two nagant revolvers and love them.one is 1930 and the other is 1932. they shoot great, double action is stiff but I fire them good in SA mode. at 15 yds I can keep a palm size group. and nutsforsmiths the SA only model you have is a NCO gun. Russia only trusted them with that one in pre ww2 Russia. the Sa /Da action was for officers only. in the 1930s they made them all Sa/Da action.I guess they new Germany was getting ready to act up.ill always keep my 1930 nagant that was when my mom was born. she laughed when I showed it to her and said its as old as me.
