Josh's New Gun





This week my dad has purchased several guns. Cabela's (the sports store not far away from where we live) was having a deal where if you spend $500 you get $150 free to spend in the store. So what my dad did was buy a gun for about 500 dollars then give the free 150 dollar shopping spree to his sons. My brother Dan bought a shotgun with it, and Josh was also offered the deal. It was hard to find a gun for only $150, and we didn't want to spend a ton of money on one, but eventually we found the coolest gun ever! This M91-30 MOSIN NAGANT is a vintage WWII rifle. Apparently the Russians had stockpiled these bolt-action rifles in bunkers during the war, and were just recently dug up. They were never used, in excellent condition, and worked perfectly. The rifle even has a bayonet! Cabela's now sells them. It is so neat to have a piece of history like this. Josh Took it out to shoot today and said it was very accurate, and VERY powerful. Comparable to a 30-06! And it looks cool too! I don't know why they were selling them for so cheap because they are awesome.

  1. Josh looks like Paul Revere or somebody, standing there with some Revolutionary War-lookin' rifle! Just dress him up in some buckskins, and he could be out settlin' the frontier...!
