It's gas operated and the bolt is interesting...

I hope you got a great deal on it.. I saw the MSRP. That's kinda high IMO but then again...
Looking at the weight, better work on wrist and arm strength.

It's not bad. Seven rounds adds maybe seven more ounces but it can be
single-handed without a problem. I haven't fired it yet so the recoil
might be a different story!

It looks heavy enough to handle a lot of recoil.

I'm thinking of investing in a pair of these to go along with the muffs. When shooting the Mosin
Nagant, the muff gets pushed up the side of my head. The little rubber plugs don't seem to do much
for me.

Took a friend to the range with me yesterday. He's almost 80, flies RC planes, and loves guns. But,
he's living with his son and family and son doesn't want guns in the house with the kid around -
safe or no safe. Yesterday I let him shoot the MN. He had a blast - had never fired anything bigger
than a .22 squirrel rifle.


It's fun to introduce people into shooting. A friend of mine came into
town for a week and I took him and his sons to the range. They had
never fired a gun so we started with my .22 pistol and moved up to the
..44 Magnum. Then I brought out the AR and AK. They all had a great
time. The ammo cost was over $300 for the day but worth every penny!
