Brother Glacius Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Anyone know of shops around portland where I can find ammo and accessories for historical guns. About to pick up my first Mosin and need a few things for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplepeopleeater Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 I would start by checking this group out. http://oregonarmscollectors.com/ My ex-father in law has well over 300 rifles and all but maybe 5 were pre-WWII. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duckman Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 LOL You weren't kidding when you said you had an expensive new hobby. Me, I was just selling stuff off because it never gets used anymore. Let us know what cool stuff you pick up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted April 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Just got a 1922 Izhevsk hex receiver, 1891 Mosin Nagant. This was a Finnish capture rifle. It seems they updated it to a 91/30 barrel due to the updated sight on it. In seven years, this gun will be 100 years old. Will get to shoot it in a couple of weeks. Very excited. It is a beast. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Okay, so I figured out the barrel was not updated, it just had the round front sight put on instead of the single blade (barleycorn). It has been counterbored though. On the lookout for a M39. Been debating back and forth if I should try to get a PU, but those are so pricey now it really isn't worth it.

PourSpelur Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Got to play with an m21? (The marksman version of the m14) a while back. Impressed the Hell out of me. Wayyyy more accurate than my ability and rugged to boot. The only complaint I could ever imagine anyone having is it weighed a metric ton;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I think it is the DDRC that holds M1 Garand certification classes. Fairly cheap, and then you can enter a match to actually shoot the guns (they have loaners). Once certified, you can then order Garands from the CMP. Would be fun just to learn and shoot the Garand. Would have to sell quite a bit more in order to afford one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted May 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Getting ready to buy an 303 Enfield. However, starting to wonder if I should pick up a Yugo 98 instead while I have the opportunity. Granted, the Enfield seems like a rarity as well.

Brother Glacius Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Well, I picked up the 303 Enfield, and got my hands on a beautiful Finnish M39 mosin. Due to restricted storage space, will be selling my 1891 mosin. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgt_smokey_bacon Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 I live in Vegas now, where there is a gunshop on every corner. My brother-in-law and I also happen to collect guns (although of a newer variety than what you're into.) If you need parts for anything, let me know, I'd be happy to check local shops for you when I'm in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
