Nagants

[wctriumph]

I am interested in picking up a M. Nagant 91/30 and I was wondering if you guys could supply me some links with history and info on them.

Also, I see round receivers and hex receivers. Why and why is one better than the other.

My local JAX gets them in from time to time and they are priced really good and they come with all the stuff.

I appreciate your knowledge and help.

You guys have been a great help and I look forward to picking up a new 91/30 soon. I had a M44 a few years back and sold it to make ends meet so I will be looking for another one of those after I get the 91/30.

Thanks again, great help.
