What happend to the surplus 7.62x54r?? Has it already dried up?
I've been trying to get a spam can for months now. No fucking luck.
>>28891189
war in ukraine
people are reluctant to sell bullets for almost nothing when theyre being shot at. also the infrastructure to even ship it is mostly unusable. itll be a few years, minimum
>>28891189
Sportsman Guide. Brass .308 is about the same these days
>>28891189
Yeah, Ukraine kinda needs it now.
>>28891189
And I just bought my first mosin with a spam can 3 days ago. What a fucking imbecile. I probably overpaid, too
>>28891240
>he fell for the nugget meme
but seriously, what model and how much?
>>28891252
I felt that it was time to add the fucking meme to my otherwise respectable collection, as I said I'm probably an imbecile.
Ok, I got an Izhevsk M44 made in 1944, unissued with no signs of use whatsoever and perfect bolt and bore with an unopened spam can for $420. Fire away
>>28891240
yaaaa i bought an M44 for waaaaaay to much
but whatever.
just had a case of 800rounds of 54r come in the mail last week.
probably feed most if it through the svt though
>>28891287
Not meme enough. You need to get memer.
>>28891299
>>28891306
What do you guys think did I overpaid or can I feel joy in traces?
>>28891287
thats actually purty good
not bad/10
>>28891299
One thing I did good last week is I found an unissued in absolutely worded condition yugo sks with a log book that showed it was only inspected twice in warehouse with all the goodies for $400. That I know I didn't fuck up
>>28891315
What would be a fuckup deal then, what do these Russian shits go for
>>28891313
i paid 400. bore is counter bored and theres a refurb on the stock under the bayonet.
>>28891331
Holy shit. Although from my cursory knowledge counter bore is NOT necessarily a bad thing. Well I guess we both hope for end of hostilities in Ukraine
>>28891313
Well unissued is bullshit. If you had a pic I could tell you more. It's not a bad price for a m44 and spam can. Not good, but not bad.
>>28891329
~$300 is fair for the rifle and $150 is about going price for a spam can right now. so more than $500 and you really ate it. $420 is perfectly reasonable.
>>28891340
doesnt seem to effect anything. shoots more accurately then my sks.
>>28891348
I agree however a tell tale sign is bolt. It's maching and it's without the usual tiny signs of corrosive being shot through it, a perfect metal. Stock has a few minor dings though. Probably isn't far fetched as it was made at the end of ww2 and those were mostly put into storage. I'm not interested in collect ability just in overall shape.
>>28891287
>tfw bought my m39 at Cabela's for $199 last summer
it's always nice when they don't quite know what they have and sell it for cheap
>>28891407
That's a good price. Days of dirt cheap mosins is over. Days of dirt cheap milsurp has come to a crushing end
>got late for the 7n6 but found cheap 7n6 and an sgl31 locally despite that
>now can't buy an m44 and x54r surplus
fucking putin
>>28891189
It will come back in a year or so, too many hostilities among our eastern brethren

>tfw got a can of nugget chow last week for $70
>tfw guy I bought it from still has an unopened crate he might sell me for $150,
It's the little things in life...
>>28891400
Bolts were stamped to match the barrel when refurbished. Look at the font. Does it really match what is on the barrel? This is how I know my "all matching" 1935 91/30 is not original. Also, the stock. Are the estucheons pressed in or is there none in the back and only a metal lip in the front? I just hate it when people are sold a line of bull and it happens a lot with these rifles.
Pic related is my m44. 1945, in a correct war time stock. Font on the bolt is the same as the barrel. I believe the only things they did during the refurbishment was counterbore the barrel and replace the floorplate. Got this for 250 about a year ago.
>>28891512
I will post some pics let me just run to the safe.
Lol I know, mosin in a safe..
>>28891544
If that is a 1944 like you said the stock is a replacement. It is post war style. Sorry buddy your rifle was not unissued.
How much for a decent SKS or Mosin these days?
>>28891553
I thought they made some of them laminated. Oh well. I am part of the cool mosin club now
>>28891554
300+ starting with a well used norinco or type 56.
>>28891563
All laminates are post war. If it was late 1945 or later it could be correct but not a 1944. You didn't pay an awful price, but it was used enough they decided it needed a new stock.
Anyway welcome to the Mosin meme club. I have 7 more. I am working on becoming a meme master.
>>28891579
Thanks I feel super pumped up. So how come my bore and bolt is nice and shiny?
>>28891189
I got a '44 M44 in near factory condition Izhevsk for $80 like 9 years ago. Do I win?
>>28891618
Bolt is likely replacement. It could be original. The rifles saw little actual combat. They were issued almost exclusively to second line troops. Lots of vehicle drivers and such. I doubt they were fired much at all.
>>28891645
If the stock isn't like >>28891512 then it's not factory consition. But I am still jelly.
>>28891646
Good that's what i was hoping for, I just want a nice shooter and more importantly to be able to partake in poorfag mosin wizardry
I live near DC and NO one shoots 54r I guess because every lgs around has piles of spam cans for $115-140
>>28891189
>Has it already dried up?
>already
It was available for a long time.
>>28891189
You realize they make modern rounds right?
Midway was doing a 54R sale last September and I sensed it was becoming unavailable so I bought 8 tins of 440 for $800
Glad I did, and I'm not gonna shoot any of it. It's on reserve for the apocalypse
Yes, I am a prepper
>>28894636
>I'm not gonna shoot any of it
>yes, I am a prepper
Thanks for letting everyone know that you're a retard
>>28894725
You'll be the retard when zombies arrive
No I'm not retarded, I'm just too cheap to shoot the guns and ammo I buy so hoarding guns and ammo has been my hobby for years
I've been spending 10grand a year on gun stuff for years and when I do shoot it I only shoot .22LR
>>28894770
You are the cancer
I know of a couple containers incoming in the next 30-60 days
>>28894787
I'm cancer because I conserve what I have?
>>28891331
You dun goofed.
>>28891189
So I have 4 cans of 54r. Only one is open, and one is a can with loaded stripper clips.
>>28894770
Oh, you're just baiting. Carry on then
>>28894844
Wish I was home from work to snap a pic
My collection is crazy
When I was in my early 20s I collected so much porn that collecting became an obsession
Now I've become obsessed with collecting guns
Is what I'm doing that unusual though?
>spam can listed for $125 at gun show
>shit a chicken
>ask guy if he will do $110 and he says he will
>scored decent priced surplus.
Felt nice, agreed to buy some more surplus a week ago, but can't meet the guy til next week. Got to $110 for 400 rounds and some stripper clips.
>>28894802
You are going to die and leave all of that ammo behind. Whoever your relative is will call the police and that ammo will be destroyed along with your guns. All that ammo that other people would have taken to the range.
>>28895304
I hope my future children will decide to continue my legacy.

>>28894802
STOP LIKING IT WRONG. YOU'RE LIKING WHAT I LIKE WRONG.
I didn't even realize this was selling out :( Not a single link on gunbot has any, at least on the first pageish.
I still have 1 1/2 spam cans left but man, now I kind dont wanna shoot the nugget anymore
What guns besides the Mosin Nagant use this? Why would it be selling out because of the Russia/Ukraine war? Is Ukraine running around with nothing but nagants? I thought they mostly had AK's which would put demand on 7.62x39
>>28895843
Pkm. Also they mostly use ak74s.
>>28895843
What is the PKM for $100, Alex?
>>28895866
>ak74
>5.45x39
>7.62x54
You're off by 2.17x15 mate
>>28895894
He mentioned the ak74 in response to the other anon's use of the akm.
>>28895843
>What guns besides the Mosin Nagant use this?
is this a serious question?
fucking dragunovs use 7.62x54r, modern futuristic 100% real russian dragunovs
>>28895870
>>28895866
I just had a horrible thought mates.
We're seeing a lot of PKM's being used in the middle east right now... maybe the suplus nugget food has been rerouted there due to demand.
>>28896099
ISIS eatin your ammo
>>28896099
So be it. They probably offered a bigger return on the ammo than what they could having to put up with the BATFE's red tape and so forth.
>>28896099
The infidel must be purged habbibi.
>>28896099
>We're seeing a lot of PKM's being used in the middle east right now... maybe the suplus nugget food has been rerouted there due to demand.
Where DO these spam cans come from? Are they all 70 year old WWII overproduction, or is at least some of it new?
>>28896648
"new" as in being packed away in the 70's and 80's new, if anything. They're not that old and 7.62x54r.net has examples of old spam cans and they look nothing like the green tins you know now.
>>28895696
Desu senpai
How much is 7N1 worth right now?
ITT: Laughing at the broke idiots who bought 500 Mosins thinking their sustenance would never dry up.
Saw this in academy Dec. 15th
>>28897196
>laughing at the guy who has 500 mosins that are appreciating in value like a red hot set of stocks
He's already $50,000+ ahead of you and laughing you back into your mother's basement. I hope you have a good rope and strong rafters to help you cope.
>>28894789
Please tell more
Was going to get a 7.62x39 rifle because of how cheap it is to shoot (probably cheapest intermediate centerfire, but then I thought about the mosin.
I don't know which to get.
>>28897392
go AK bro. will never fail you, more parts, more upgrades, more ammo sources, better on dindus.
>>28897426
But I'm really just using it for fun, and the mosin will be more accurate and reach further.
Also cheaper, I don't even know what to get, WASR is cheapish but I don't know about them.
If mosin ammo was just as cheap (25~ cents a round) I'd likely pick it
>>28897280
You need to lose some weight
>>28897500

>25 cents a round for corrosive surplus
>a good deal
>>28897353
>poorfags reaching this far about an outdated rifle
Good luck trying to resell a shitty surplus rifle when there's no surplus ammunition, chump.
>>28899062
>trying to resell
If that's what they're doing, they're doing it wrong. Funs are for shooting, not selling.

>>28894636
I bought 25 crates after Sandy Hook and now own 3 veprs chambered in 54r. Pretty good move I think.
As far as the haters fuck'em. They will spend their time in lines at the FEMA relief stations when some natural disaster happens in their AO. Ask the people from New Hampshire that were mistreated after that ice storm several years ago. The mistreatment and openly hostile and sometimes violent behavior FEMA people exhibited on the citizens forced the New Hampshire legislator to pass specific laws forbidding FEMA from operating without prior permission from the Governor and they must answer to local authorities. FEMA confiscated guns, refused to allow people to leave their camps once behind the fence.
Let the haters enjoy that kind of hospitality, us retarded preppers will eat when ewe want, sleep where we want and come and go as we please.
One thing my prepper brother, you need to hide your power level like you life depends on it because it does. The haters are no more than "gimme dats" and will rally other looters to steal your food and property. Local bureaucrats will top that list.
>>28894789
To who?
>>28894869
Post the "frogman" gifs or you're a worthless liar.
>>28899062
you realize that 7.62x54R is still in production don't you?
>>28891287
I bought a 1946 in the same condition for $225 a few weeks ago. already have the spam cans.
>>28899675
>$100 440 rounds surplus
>$230 500 new
Reach for the skies.
>>28899675
Yes but people can't accept that it's not like 11 cents a round anymore so they feel the need to spout memes that the caliber's dried up/irrelevant or some shit. Honestly, there are plenty of good precision rifles in x54R and we're using machine gun grade ammo (poor individual shot accuracy, exceptionally hard primers) in rifles that were not initially known for their accuracy either.
tl;dr: they can't fucking move on and realize that the heyday of the Nugget is over.
Wait, the Russia/Ukraine thing is still going?
>>28899768
Better believe it. Still in a cease fire ATM.
>>28899834
Also keep in mind how many PKMs are in the middle east. All of those use belt fed 7.62x54r.
>>28891287
Coming from someone relying soley on memes as his primary source, 420 sounds a bit high for a nugget and ammo, even if it is mint.

I thought that FEMA was capable of suspending the constitution in an "emergency"?
If so, why would they care about such a law?
>>28900184
Depends on your state. I know fema isn't welcome in Texas usually.
>>28891189
Currently getting fired out of PK MGs in Ukraine, Syria, Iraq
>>28900184
There are also sevearl laws on the books that allow FEMA to confiscate hoards of food to "redistribute" in emergency situations. The SurvivalistForums posted a warning on it's home page for years telling people to be careful about large purchases of food and ammo online. Now with the federal law that only allows UPS and FEDEX to deliver ammo to residential home it's painfully obvious that they have large databeses of people who have prepped . I think it's so the bureaucrats starve last.
HIDE YOUR POWER LEVEL.
>>28900184
>I thought that FEMA was capable of suspending the constitution in an "emergency"?
Lots of things changed after the clusterfuck that was FEMA's and local Louisiana blatantly unconstitutional actions.
Look into it, you;ll be happy ...if only for a little while.
