1939 Nagant Revolver

While in the middle of a sell-off, I have decided to rename the process “rebalancing my portfolio”. This in my mind allows me to refill slots that I miss from the past as I sell things. So here is refill number one. Refurbed, matched, 1939 Tula Nagant compilation.

I can remember Rileys having them for sale for $25. I still passed.

This was a local find via GunBoards. Of course, the year is cool too.

Range was flooded today… practiced with the duty gun and put a box out of the Nagant…shoots high.

Mostly used post war to dispatch KGB friends from 4" to the back of the noggin.

Nice on the original mil ammo, too. It's way faster than the Prvi/hotshot commercial ammo according to my chrony. I remember that there was a NES group buy on the mil ammo some years back..stuff is hard to find now!

Shot it again the other day…looks like all 28 hit paper.

Would like to get a few more boxes.

Was that double action or single?

I love that smooth double action trigger, it's like a 900 Lbs pull right. lol

I've been interested in getting one before. They're also one of (if perhaps not the only) revolver you could realistically run suppressed due to the gas sealing.

Hard to justify the ammo for me, though, when I can load 38spl for about 12 cents a round.

Remember $4.95/box not 5 years ago.
