410 Marlin bolt action shotgun 22 single shot Marlin

I have about 100 rounds through mine. Because of my poor eyesight it is capable of better grouping than I can shoot using iron sights. I'll shoot 2 or 3, 4-5" groups at 50 yards, then the next thing you know I'll have a shot plum off the paper. When the current ammunition crisis/craze started...

Ok

Ok So member AMC is in error when he states the mini is based on the carbine? And the gas system is copied from a Remington?

Last night at the local Cabelas. Shelf full of 9mm, $11.95/50, don't remember the brand. They also had a shelf full of .40, some 357, some 38, 25, 32 and 45 acp. This is the largest selection I have seen on their shelves for months. No .22 and what 223 that was there was several $ more per 20...

Originally Posted By: Robenstein No its closer to the Garand/M14 than the M1 Carbine, but since the Garand and the M1 carbine share some similarities it is easy to see influence from both. I only say it is closer to the garand especially if you look at the trigger/safety, sights, mag release...

I thought the Ruger Mini 14 and Mini 30 actions were based on the M-1 Carbine, but you guys are saying it's based on the M-1 Garand?

shelves still bare here

For sale ad in mail today, from the local cabelas Mosin-Nagant $119.00 Century Arms SKS $299. 7.62x39 available at about twice the price as what they usually sell it. No 223, 9mm, .22, generally not much pistol ammunition available.

Cabela's had 91/30s for $99, as late as last fall. They were on sale, I believe regular price is $159.

.35 Whelen shot from a box stand, with the muzzle slightly out the window. Hunting with my nephew earlier this week he took his first deer. My ears are still ringing.

Originally Posted By: fastbear The Cabela's scope mount for the SKS is a snap to install with instructions. Have 3 of them in use. Bringing up a way dead thread! But --- definitely not a snap. Bought one. The instructions read that the scope mount for the SKS should not be installed by any...

Originally Posted By: jjjxlr8 You can find affordable soft point and HP 7.62x39 ammo if you look around. This is ammo that was originally imported back in the mid-90s but I've seen quite a bit of it floating around a gun shows lately and wonder if someone has imported a bunch. It's inexpensive...

Just like the question ask. Possible shot, Maximum range maybe 100 - 125 yards, open sigths. What's the possibilities of this gun with atleast a well placed shot. Secondly: The local Cabela's advertised a telescopic sight for the SKS, I was under the impression that because of the way the SKS...

Bought a 336 in 1981 for $126. Love the gun.

I get one in the mail every so often. Spend $100 and you get a $25 gift card. Last time I hit'em, I bought a Mosin Nagant for $99.99 and got $25 worth of 7.62X39 (2 boxes) and 7.62X54r (1 box).

Got a second SKS--- this one is a Yugo model I think. Wooden stock, bayonet attached, got the whole "kit" with it. Stripper clips, oil can, cleaning kit, sling, ammunition pouch. Plus a real nice hard case for storage. So this make 2 SKSs and 1 Mosin Nagant.
