no, mosin nagant. over 17 million produced in WWII IN RUSSIA alone. proabaly at least 30 million made by several countries over its significant military service life (1880 somethin' to the late 1960's) and almost everyone is still good today. lol the last time most of them were cleaned was in 1944 in some factory probably.The prices have sure gone up since I bought mine. ..but, what hasn't gone up in price.
I have had no trouble with mine (2). Fun to shoot. Simple and rugged. I like the 7.62x39 round. Go for it. You'll never wear it out. Great for what it was designed for. Not a 600 meter weapon. lol The most produced weapon in the world, I believe. The Romanians are fine. Like the poster above said,.. if you don't like it,.. re-sell it.
Yes they use the same round but, the AK's and SKS's use the European ammo that measures at around .311-.312 at the bore. The mini 30 I think measures at .308 at the bore. I would use the American made ammo for the mini 30.My WASR 10 is fine, it shoots and a pretty cheap round would like to have another one.
I have a question for anybody that knows a about Ranch Mini-30 they use the same round as the WASR-10
