    Default I can haz mosin?

    I have purchased my first rifle, a Mosin Nagant. I have been trying to get one of these for severals weeks now, and it has been way harder then it should be. First I got turned down at Dunham's due to their idiotic store policy. Then last weekend I had to work 20 hours straight and never made it to the gun show. Finally, at the recommendation of members on here, I purchased a mosin from aimsurplus online. The price was awesome! I can't wait to get my hands on this thing. I'm looking forward to experiencing the shoulder-busting recoil for myself. I've only ever shot a 308 and 223...

    Congrats on the new purchase!
    They are a blast to shoot.

    Please explain what the policy is at Dunham's. I have never heard anything and i have bought a few firearms there. Nothing since 2006 though.

    I started another thread about this before. Dunhams won't sell me a mosin because my current address differs from the one listed on my driver's license. They won't honor my "change of address" form from the state, and won't take any other ID either. They basically told me, as politely as they could, to screw off until I get a new driver's license.

    Sucks about Dunham's but congrats on the Mosin. Just get ready for the sore shoulder (and an addiction to surplus ammo)!

    I'm on aimsurplus.com. What is the difference in the hex receiver? Is it worth $10? Thanks.

    I bought a PAST shoulder recoil pad to use with my Enfield and Mosin. it's a huge help! I'm a big guy so it's a tight fit though. If I could find some extra strap extenders that have the same size plastic connectors it would be perfect, but I don't know where to find any.

    Quit being a big girly man! Those recoil pads are for 9yr olds who want to shoot Mosins.

    That's BS. The change of address card is perfectly valid.

    I'd take my business elsewhere.

    Someone tried to tell me that once. I told them I'd take my business elsewhere. They took the change of address card.
