Suomi M31

Post by Krull » Sat Jan 16, 2010 12:06 pm

Looking about the Mosin-Nagant forum I noticed mention of Simo Häyhä ,well he's something that's on the market now:the other gun he used to give Ivan a pain in the privates! :razz:

At 10 1/2 pounds unloaded it's a bit heavy,they have a drum for it and that brings loaded weight to something like 14lbs! since it's a 9MM recoil just isn't a concern but it's a hoot to tear stuff up with.
The sling they used sucks,one inch leather strap=cut into you like mad,I stuck a 1 1/4 cotton web strap so I can go chase woodchucks,yotes,possums and other varmints all over creation with it.

BTW I've heard more griping at the drums then anything,dunno why but all drums seem to cause people to rip their hair out-hence I avoid them at all costs,36rd stick mags are fine!
