Hurray I got my first Gun. --- pictures added

[aceakshat]

Hello Again,
yes I went missing for a while .... I think lot of you are very curious about the 360 ... I'll try to gather more info about it on my next visit home (will also get some pictures of it).
I have 2 more new additions to my armory

1. 5.5" bull barrel Ruger 22/45 MKIII
2. Mosin Nagant 91/30 (1936 Tula made).

My 10/22 out of the box.

My 22/45 out of the box.


My 22/45 with red dot.


My Mosin Nagant.


Brotherhood.


ammo stock ... yeah i am a 22LR nut.


comparison left to right 22LR, 22LR, .223 Remington(AR-15), 7.62*54R (Mosin)


Best 22 groups I had till now (15 shots @ 50 yards of the bench with scope)


This is how my Mosin shoots @ 50 yards, I have not even touched the sight till now.
open dove tail sights (unadjusted), the 2 at top left corner were shot standing, rest seated position.


I just love Mosin, the sound, the flash, the kick ... every thing is just great. It feels like raw power.
Today I took it to the range for the first time .. and i am in love with it. Now i'll start working on adjusting the sights so I can use it
during next deer hunting season.

You have made a good start to a usable battery of guns with 2 of my favorites and a decent bolt-action rifle.
My only complaint with the 10-22 is the trigger - the factory trigger is atrocious (thanks to the US lawyer culture) and needs work or replacement.
My personal 10-22 has been heavily customized for shooting metallic silhouettes with a bull barrel, an improved stock, and a Power Custom trigger kit with a 3 lb pull that I put in myself.
If you do nothing else, upgrade the trigger. The parts I used you can get from Midway USA and, if you aren't comfortable doing this kind of work ( it CAN make a gun dangerous to use if not done correctly! ), then Timney makes a replacement trigger and Volquartsen offers a drop-in replacement for the entire trigger assembly.
The Timney is about $100 and the Volquartsen is just over $200. Whatever you do, an improved trigger will improve your accuracy. My rifle will shoot a 3 cm 5-shot group at 100m off of a benchrest after the trigger work where I was struggling to get a 3 inch ( 10 cm ) group with the same ammo and equipment before the trigger job.

The MK-III is what I just bought my youngest son for his 21st birthday - simply the best .22 pistol available for under $1000 in the US.

Be sure to realize that the ammunition you show with the Mosin-Nagant is corrosive primed and clean accordingly. Regular gun-cleaning products will NOT keep the corrosive components from eating away the rifling - I have a WW2 mauser with no rifling left at all that shows that effect. The easiest way to remove it is to use a few patches soaked in plain Windex window cleaner ( or any ammonia-based cleaner ), then dry patches until all of the cleaner is gone, then your regular cleaning solvent ( like Hoppe's ), then oil well. Be sure to remove all trace of the ammonia because it will aggressively attack brass and copper and won't do the wood finish any good, either. You could also just pitch the metal parts into a bucket of warm water with dish washing detergent and scrub well - just be sure to dry thoroughly and oil well, else you create a rusty mess.

Try the S&B soft-point ammunition for deer - my son's Mosin seems to shoot best with them.

Akshat,
Congrats on your new 22 , .360 is it a double rifle or a bolt action? rimless or rimmed ? as I have a SxS box lock double by Manton & Co. .360 NE rifle chambered for 9.3x74 flanged cartridge .
