I’m beginning to think we’re all deviates [emoji15]
You're just beginning to think this? Haven't you been around these parts for more than a week? :LOL:
 
I'll be a little boring, but these are two different rifles - the Mosin and the Nagant. This story is described in the article (in Russian, but it is clear from the pictures). By a strange coincidence, I met with the author today, bought a die with a micrometer head from him, he makes them.


I only read the two rifles were combined into one but not sure it was said how that was done.
Partial history can give the wrong illusion by insufficient explanation or simple omission.

Not simple. Leon Nagant was a talented businessman. He patented the very principle of filling the middle magazine from above by pressing a finger, precisely in those countries where an order for the manufacture of rifles was planned. Although the invention of this principle belongs to Mauser, Nagant looked at some Mauser finds at the Belgian rifle tender, where both Mauser and Nagant took part. The Mauser rifle won there.

Therefore, the Russian War Ministry was forced to pay Nagant, although his rifle lost the tender. The design of the bolt, magazine, etc. belongs to Sergey Mosin.
 
Throw in Chuck Norris and the terminator and it'll all be over by tea time.

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
