Good score!

I love both of my M28s. Make sure you check the bore size, if the "D" stamp isn't on the barrel. Depending on the size of the bore, it might be a bad idea to shoot "modern" x54r in her. You may have to reload for the rife.

I haven't slugged. nor shot mine yet, but plan to in the near future.

Congrats.  The M28 is a fine rifle and an excellent shooter.



That said, this thread needs more M28 pix!!!!

The Carolinas are a "target rich" environment for Finns.



We've got more Finn rifles here than any place south of Helsinki....

My M28 was my first Mosin back in 1988 or 89. I paid $39 for it

last i read it is NOT an indication of the bore size, just that they relieved the inside of the chamber to fit the larger / longer bullet.

In that case, it probably best to slug the barrel if its there or not.

It took me considerably longer to find my first one. I bought it a couple of yeas ago, with 60 rounds of ammo, for $100. Great deal for the time, but they also kept referring to it as "old' and "Russian" , too.

Since we're breaking out the pictures.

LOL! I've had several similar offers in the last couple of years.

This will be one of the last Mosin Nagants I ever sell.

Just received the e-mail that my M28 is on its way.  It will keep my M39 company.  I just hope I don't go crazy waiting for it.
