Oh you picked up the REALLY good stuff. The Russian 7n1 147gn light ball steel case is what I have been grooving on. Good choice! -Sefus

The most wild, muzzle flashing ammo I ever fired in my 91/59 or M44 was some Bulgarian machine gun ammo that was on the market about a million years ago. It had this giant bright yellow muzzle flash,...

Nice thing about the M91/59 is that while it began life as a standard M91/30,and incurred who knows how much wear&tear from 1943 onwards, once it was converted to "/59" and then stored, it is now...

About the only place I've seen-thus far-for stripper clips is "Cheaper-Than-Dirt" for around $15.00 for ten. 'Can't have too many of those.

FJ,The 91-59 is a rare variant with much collectible value. I would stash that gun away and get a vg M44 for general use. Besides, another excuse to buy second Moisin-Nagant.St762
