I figured it was not installed in the name of speed, since the Germans were knocking on the doors of Moscow during that time. It also tracked with how the Soviets viewed casualties...they didn't care much about their troops. "Training" accidents are part of their doctrine. <br /> I bought mine in the mid 90's and paid $59 for it:) I should have bought more, but those were the "salad" days and the wife complained when I wanted to buy another. She isn't a fan of my rifles or pistols, but it is MY hobby so she acquiesces. I wanted to buy a "long" one with bayonet, they had them at the range for $129, which wasn't bad. Sandy hook happened and there was a run on everything and the price doubled. I will wait for the price to drop before I buy another one.MrGarabaldihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05768774166065615995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444550425694584077.post-49733936774401288272013-11-30T10:35:00.676-05:002013-11-30T10:35:00.676-05:00I'm sure you're joking. All Mosin Nagant ...I'm sure you're joking. All Mosin Nagant owners joke about that. but for those of you who are not familiar with them (but you should be, they're only a little more than $100), the safety is a round knob on the back of bolt that you pull out (hard to do) and turn.<br /><br />As for shooting off the porch, I shoot from the kitchen table, out the open patio door. My wife and family don't like it when I shoot guns in the house because it's so loud, so I only do it a few times a year.golden geese newshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06456006010918216238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444550425694584077.post-75370861389537105032013-11-30T03:46:25.956-05:002013-11-30T03:46:25.956-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.MrGarabaldihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05768774166065615995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444550425694584077.post-9457027962757971922013-11-30T03:46:23.672-05:002013-11-30T03:46:23.672-05:00hey Angela;

The only thing I don't like is it's hard to use the safety, especially when it's cold outside.

Set up a target on the wooden backboard and fire away. I have a KSG that I haven't shot yet and an RFB that needs to be sighted in. Maybe we will get there soon. Our son loves to go too.TCWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00307110073160402768noreply@blogger.com
