Re: Keystone mini mosin
I've been waiting for them to hit the streets. So far there's only one on Gunbroker, I thought I'd wait for a few more to bee listed, maybe for a little less $ but plan on getting one.

I just looked at the website. Looks like a fun .22 rifle.

Re: Keystone mini mosin
I handled one in a LGS. It was pretty cool almost an exact looking miniature. I almost bought it but decided not because it was pretty awkward to hold in the shooting position. I still might buy one just for the neatness factor.

Re: Keystone mini mosin
Yes it is on the small side that is why I would like to hold one in my hands before I decide to buy one

Re: Keystone mini mosin
The size is the one thing that puts me off, it looks tiny compared to the real thing. Did the USSR ever build a Mosin trainer in .22 LR

Re: Keystone mini mosin
There is the polish WZ trainer that looks a lot like a mosin but I m hesitant to buy one online because there can be a problem with their extractors that can cause headspace problems and there are few spare parts

Re: Keystone mini mosin
Barbarossa, I looked up the Polish WZ trainer and understand your reason for not getting one. A similar type of extractor is used on the Webley .22 smooth bore garden gun. I occasionally shot sub sonics with no problem until one day I FOOLISHLY loaded a Remington yellow jacket, the case ruptured and bent the flat spring that the extractor ran on. Took quite a while to get it working properly as spares are not only rare but more expensive than the gun…

Re: Keystone mini mosin

Re: Keystone mini mosin
I like that, looks like a usable rifle, that mini Mosin just looks a bit too toy like to me. The Polish WZ looks cool but that extractor would put me off for sure.

Re: Keystone mini mosin
11.5" length of pull, no wonder it's only 2.8 pounds. It's obviously for the Mosin nut who's got a 5 year old who wants to shoot "a rifle just like daddy's". Still quite interesting, but have enough 22's (yeah, right), including short ones for the grandkids.
