The Mosin Nagant: a piece of military history
The Mosin Nagant is a Russian bolt-action military rifle chambered in 7.62x54R, adopted in the 1890s and used through both World Wars and beyond. Its rugged, simple action helped make it one of the most widely produced military rifles ever.
Key features
Cartridge: 7.62x54R, a powerful rimmed round.
Magazine: internal five-round magazine.
Long barrel: a long sight radius and a stable platform.
Simple, rugged action: it was built to work in harsh conditions.
Shooting and caring for a Mosin
Surplus ammo can be corrosive, so clean the bore thoroughly after every session. Get cleaning supplies at Brownells, find ammo at Natchez, and add ShellShock hearing protection, since this rifle is loud. If you want to mount an optic, compare scopes at OpticsPlanet.

Why the Browning Buck Mark Is Still a Go-To .22 Pistol
The Browning Buck Mark has been a staple of the rimfire world for decades, and for good reason. It is a simple, blowback-operated semi-auto chambered in .22 LR that is accurate, soft shooting and cheap to feed. That combination makes it a great plinker, a good first pistol for new shooters, and a handy trainer for anyone who wants to build trigger and sight fundamentals without burning expensive centerfire ammo.
Quick Overview
The Standard URX version shown here is a good example of what the Buck Mark does well: a 10-round magazine, a lightweight aluminum-alloy frame, an ambidextrous synthetic grip, a crisp trigger and fully adjustable sights. Its flat, uncomplicated design also makes it easy to clean and easy to carry in the field for small game, stump shooting, or just a relaxed afternoon at the range.
Who It Is For
If you want a rimfire pistol that is fun for beginners and still rewarding for experienced shooters, the Buck Mark is hard to beat. Check current pricing and variants at Palmetto State Armory, and watch the video above for the plinking session.
