I picked this up as part of a larger purchase. Would like to know what it is before I get rid of it. Just noticed box is marked 37703, possibly a part number.

I had one incident of a broken sear on an M91. Turns out the trigger needed to be replaced due to obvious wear. No further issues.
Regarding the firing pin protrusion. It’s protruding more than...

Thanks for all the replies. I will check the firing pin protrusion. By the by, it is actually Hungarian heavy ball 185 gr. At least that is what the receipt indicated. Happy New Year!

As mentioned earlier, one can also find tin foil on some wines; typically the spendier ones.
See pic: Tin left and aluminum right. Beyond visual differences, tin will have more heft.
Good points. Understood. Sometimes it’s nice to have options; this isn’t one of them.
Funny, I had no intentions of modifying anything.
The Nagant revolver ammo chambers easily into the Ruger 30. Bullet diameter same and case dimensions seem similar enough. This and the strength of the Ruger would indicate the Russian cartridge...
