Hello,

I'm thinking about ordering one. Main reason is because they look really interesting and I think it would look good with my 91/30. AIM Surplus and J&G Sales both have them in stock, anyone order from either one and if so which would you recommend (to order from) and why? Thanks.

I have always wanted a nagant revolver. I like AIM surplus and would not have a a problem ordering from them.

There is one in my favorite LGS right now for $139 but the cylinder has a lot of play when in lockup so I am gonna pass.

I would have a hard time buying a gun like that online where I cant inspect it first.

The cylinder has a lot of play due in part to the movement it makes when the trigger is pulled. It moves forward and seals itself. This can be disabled I think.

It was the play in the cylinder after dry firing and keeping the trigger to the rear that I was concerned about.

Hopefully someone you owns one can give you more info, I don't :crying:

I'd order from AiM. I think that they are among the best in terms of products and customer service. If there are ANY issues, they will take care of it, no questions asked.

I was leaning towards AIM since I've ordered some accesories from them before. I figure the $20 in price (final price) extra when compared to J&G might be worth it. I like the option of best out of five pick they offer as well.

Very true!

Load up some used shells in it and dry fire in double action only as fast as you can. After about 20 pulls, everything else feels like a hair trigger.

Can't help you OP since I bought mine locally. Mine was made in 1915 and still shoots great....as far as Nagant revolvers go. I know the ammo is pretty hard to find now, although you can get some original military ammo in spam cans for a premium.

How many days does it take for the feeling to return to your trigger finger after that? assuming the bone didn't break:rofl:

In stock as well.

Yea, it was literally a workout for my trigger finger.

I got mine from Southern Ohio Guns a couple of years ago. I suspect that one outfit is about as good as the other. I've delt with Classic Arms also and think they're top-notch.

I've never actually fired mine, but it's kinda neat to have. I got it only because (1) I have a C&R, and (2) it was cheap. The trigger pull is something else, and as long as they're around, a Hi-Point is not a shoe-in for "ugliest gun around."

Prices have gone sky high on these revolvers as of late. I've owned a couple over the years. There's a mod you can do that'll allow you to use 32/20 brass loaded on a Lee Die Set that'll get you ammo for a lot less then the junk they're selling for $25 bucks a box, just hit google for info on the mod.

I bought a couple when they were very inexpensive. Most have a LOT of dried-up cosmoline in the trigger mechanism. The sideplate is easy to get off. If you really clean it out and give it some nice, light lube, the trigger pull gets much better.It will never be a S&W or Colt quality trigger, but you can shoot it without feeling like you need steroids!

I feed mine a steady diet of .32 H&R mag shells as they are easy to reload. These are very strong pistols and can stand a factory .32 mag load without any problem. The Russian factory military loads are a lot stronger than the target loads that come in a yellow box. The Hotshot ammo is pretty decent and has good, reloadable brass.

Ditto. IIRC the military load was something like a 100grs at 1100 fps, the stuff on the market today is target loads, way under powered. Here's a good link.

After reading the original post I dug mine (1932) out of the safe and there is no play whatsoever when the trigger is held back after dry firing, so good on you for walking away from that one. I'm lucky to be only a couple of miles away from J&G, so I got mine FTF. As I recall I got to pick from several and I made my decision solely on the DA trigger function. It was stiff but nicer than the others, and after a good cleaning and a lot of dry firing it's now smooth and not much heavier than most of my DA/SA triggers. So there was a lot of value (at least for me) in being able to pick one based on function.

I know a place selling factory military loads, sealed in spam cans but your looking at a paying $8 for a box of 14rds or $550 for 1,092 rounds. :wow: Kinda pricey for something that is basically a plinker.

I have a Mosin-Nagant revolver and that can not be "disabled" to my knowledge. The whole move "thing" is part of the revolver design.

First off it's just "Nagant" revolver. Mosin didn't have anything to do with it and Second, you can modify the part that pushes the cylinder forward so that it won't push it at all or as much depending on how much you modify it.
