Hi all
Just like Martin s i got my Mosin from Chris at C&G on Saturday morning and my Enfield no 4 last week from Highwood Classics so today i had a trip to the range with both rifles the no 4 is 100% spot on put about 70 round down range only had a few 7.62 x 54 r rounds but very very happy with the old lady she is a Izevsk made in 1925 so a good bit older than me.

A few of the lads at the club had a little go with both rifles most are better shots than me but it was a good fun morning and nice to know both are good guns. tongueout

Very nice Woodsman! Chris is nice guy and really knows his stuff. Glad you got to shoot it.

All you need to do now is...! Well I won't say it but evolves camera.

My Mosin came from Chris, did you get the sniper version with scope or just the standard. I just put the milsurp ammo through it and have been able to get Vbulls at 900 yds, that's some going with a less than 4x mag scope.

Hi Lasbrisas it's not a sniper just a bog standard 1925 Izevsk but has a mint barrel and the numbers all match shoots well but Chris only had 15 rounds of milsurp ammo.

Would like to know if i can get the cheap ammo in Norfolk :good:

Fenland Rural Sports just outside Warboys should have some in stock, if you can produce a valid club card you should get 10% discount on the shown prices. also if Adrian is around ask him to show you the back room, it is a treasure trove of strange old wooden rifles stacked and piled all over the place.
