Mosin Nagant M1891 CO2 BB Rifle

As with other Gletcher airguns, this has an excellent fit & finish. A handy exploded-view diagram of the airgun on the inside cover of the box (and that it comes in a nice box!). Bolt action is smooth and an absolute joy to use. Sights are preinstalled and surprisingly good, rear sight is adjustable for elevation only. I did add a white dot to front blade sight, and I use an EyePal, no complaints about the sight picture. Wood-grain is handsome, but not as realistic at the UX Thompson or UX Cowboy Lever Action. And surprisingly accurate at 15-18ft, especially if you bench rest or use a tripod yoke rest (keeps your arms from tiring out and still get the utter joy of using that smooth bolt action). And another deciding factor for me, this is almost halve the price of the full-size Nagant rifle and much more indoor / basement range friendly. I can't emphasize enough, using the bolt on this is an absolute hoot!

I know, I know, it is what it is, and that is pretty darn nifty, but finding that it shoots so well, it would've been neat to have a shoulder stock extension for it. Working on this myself and will add a post if I find an easy solution. The spare magazines a bit on the pricey side, but both of my mags are same high quality as the airgun itself.

It is awkward and very tiring holding two-handed, and this kept me from purchasing for a long time (seeing these with 4-5 in stock at PA is why I finally decided to purchase). Much more enjoyable using this on a bench rest or tripod yoke rest. So far, finding that good old Crosman Copperheads working the best, no jams and my most consistent POA to POI. Tends to shoot high and left, but settles in by 2nd magazine reload as CO2 settles down, and use can easily compensate for the POI.

I've not rated this for accuracy as I haven't shot it... and probably won't. I purchased it solely for its unique looks and certainly made the correct decision. The quality is superb! I am 100% pleased.

Actually, nothing. However, I've read reviews where folks would prefer a wood stock. Okay, I understand. Although the faux wood is pretty darn good-looking. If I absolutely had to try to improve it I'd say if it had the"weathered" appearance of age that some companies do, I'd like that.

Don't hesitate if you like it... buy it.

The real feel of the gun and weight. The beautiful wood stock. The ease of loading it.

Nothing, it looks as authenic as can be.
