Nagant M1895 Nagant Dimensions - Page 3

Shooter2675 · January 17, 2015, 04:50 PM

I have access to some tools they I could use to make some grips for a Nagant revolver. Does anyone have any interest in custom made wood grips for a Nagant revolver? They would likely be non-checkered, but the buyer could choose what wood they want and what color finish. If anyone would be interested, I'm open to suggestions about price but I was thinking maybe around $40 or maybe if I'm generous $40 shipped. Wait times should be about 1-2 weeks before I could ship it out. I'm not set on this idea just thought it would be fun to do and could make some money.

Sign me up!! I would definitely buy some

Shooter2675 · January 17, 2015, 07:23 PM

Thanks deerslayer. Maybe I will buy some materials (just different kinds of wood from an online dealer) and make some prototypes. If all goes well with the testing, maybe I can start selling in a couple of months.

John

deerslayer303 · January 17, 2015, 08:04 PM

I think they would sell pretty well honestly.

noelf2 · January 18, 2015, 10:46 AM

I doubt if collectors will care much for anything other than stock grips, and most non-collectors aren't much interested in Nagants. Might be a struggle, but there are a lot of Nagant revolver owners out there. Never know.

Shooter2675 · January 18, 2015, 11:00 AM

Yes that's what I thought. It may be a hard market but it's not like it will be my only source of income

! Just something fun that might bring in a small amount of money.

I'm not a collector, but I'm not really into "modding" everything the way the younger generation is.....

It would be a tiny niche of a market, for sure ...... that does not mean you won't sell any ......

deerslayer303 · January 18, 2015, 11:31 PM

Grips are easy enough to change and put the gun back to original though. So if it looks better and offers a better hold on the revolver I say why not.

Just be ready, LOL...

I started bent bolts and gunstocks for the same reason. Now, 100+ bolts per month (+ stocks) later...

Shooter2675 · January 19, 2015, 08:44 AM

Haha yeah if this becomes a major job I may not be able to continue. Kudos to you though for selling so many per month! Sounds like that's a full time job.

Update from my order: since my FFL was mailing there license in, which might take a while, I was checking my email and noticed AIM got more Nagant's in stock, this time with hand select for date. I called aim, they changed my order and now I have a 1917 Nagant revolver coming to me. That year is special to me as my great grandfather was born that year, and I am the 4th generation with the same name, my great grandfather being the first. That and the fact it's the last year the imperials ever made nagants before the overthrowing of Nicholas II. Does anybody know if the AIM revolvers are actually dated as they say or if it is just the side plate with the old date?

John

deerslayer303 · January 19, 2015, 12:16 PM

I have just completely disassembled mine that I got from AIM to get ready for its bath in Mineral spirits. Mine is dated 1919. And ALL numbers match. I'm a happy man so far. Pics to follow

deerslayer303 · January 19, 2015, 01:52 PM

Here it is degreased, cleaned and oiled up. The action on my '39 Tula is a bit more smooth than this one. But this 1919 Tula has a great bore, all numbers match, good timing, and locks up as good as a Nagant revolver should I guess. I'm happy with it. I did not choose a hand pick option or any of that stuff.

deerslayer303 · January 19, 2015, 01:54 PM

One more pic

Shooter2675 · January 19, 2015, 03:44 PM

Wow she's a keeper! Sweet gun, your making me anxious as I'm waiting for mine to arrive!

John

deerslayer303 · January 19, 2015, 03:49 PM

Thank you Shooter. Let us know what you get.

Shooter2675 · January 19, 2015, 04:58 PM

Will do. In the mean time... I wanted to buy some sort of hard waterproof case to store my new pistol in. I had boiled it down to two choices, an ammo can with foam inside custom cut to fit a Nagant revolver, or two, a pelican case. I was thinking the ammo can might be slightly more durable, and much less costly. I would be buying a new ammo can that is unissued. If I were to go for a pelican same, which size would fit the best? Deerslayer, if you wouldn't mind, could you take a picture of your Nagant on a piece of 8.5x11 inch paper for reference. It would be very helpful to me.

John

deerslayer303 · January 19, 2015, 05:13 PM

Sure here ya go.

Shooter2675 · January 19, 2015, 05:16 PM

Sweet thank you so much. It's looks like a pelican case that will fit a sheet of paper would fit. I'll check with one of my ammo cams to see if it fits.

John

Bigdog57 · January 20, 2015, 09:17 AM

Resizing those pic to fit the screen size would help folks using smaller devices.....
The free download "Irfanview" makes it easy.

deerslayer303 · January 20, 2015, 09:24 AM

Can't get any smaller than my S5 cell phone and they fit my screen fine.

I post to the forum with tapatalk. I forget that it turns out different when viewed from PC. Posting pics with tapatalk is so much easier because I don't have to upload them to photo bucket like I do when using my laptop. I'll look into that program you suggested. Or maybe I can figure out how to down size them on this here fancy phone.

Shooter2675 · January 26, 2015, 02:32 PM

Just got the call, my FFL has my Nagant and I'm gonna go down and pick it up later today. I'll post some pictures before I remove the cosmoline then I'll post some more later after I clean it up.

John

deerslayer303 · January 26, 2015, 04:09 PM

Good deal, let's see that old war horse

Shooter2675 · January 26, 2015, 06:37 PM

Here you go! Deerslayer - does your revolver have some minor pitting on the underside of the side plate underneath the wood grips? Mine has a little and I was wondering if others experienced the same pitting.

John

deerslayer303 · January 26, 2015, 06:42 PM

Nice looking revolver for sure. Looks really good. And yes mine does have some minor pitting under the side plate.
