I finally convinced my brother-in-law to take steps and protect his family and our country by purchasing a rifle. This was no easy task given he's in academia. I'm really hoping to bring a new brothers-in-arms to our elite fraternity of members

So ignoring my advice to purchase an M1 Garand he purchased a Mosin Nagant.

The rifle and accessories was $110 out the door.
But I told him about head space gauges and not to shoot unless he head spaced the rifle. Is there anybody out there with 7.62x54R head space gauges (go, no-go) that would be willing to ship them to me (I'll pay postage both ways) to gauge his rifle? I would return them in 5 days.
Regards, Joe
