Nagant M1895

24" and less, a place to discuss all things handgun related, section 7.3. Long barrelled revolvers, long barrelled pistols and section 5. Overseas contributions are more than welcome.

Reloading is a bit interesting as there are many ways of producing ammo, even down to using .32 S&W long, but the NRA have ppu 7.62x38 brass so found this works best and gives the gas seal. You seat the recessed bullet then can use a .30 carbine size die to truncate over it.

More than a vested interest in 7.62x54r!

I'm currently in the process of trying to get a M1895 on a 7.1 licence
unfortunatly kent isn't the fastest firearms department so it's likely to take a while

ndh-firearms.com have some good contacts in Europe. It's a shame you are not allowed to come to Bisley and have a look, were you tempted for 7.3 ?

Definitly tempted by a 7.3 but would never be able to use it. So for now I'd rather have one for in the collection for study until I have the means to visit either bisley or the hesa more regularly

There is a gun shop not far from here that has a load of these pistols in pristine condition. He's selling them for $130 but there doesn't seem to be much interest as he's had them a while. I admit they have kind of piqued my interest and may get one just to give it a try out.
