Nagant Revolvers

[AKWARRIOR]

Being a big WW2 buff Ive always wanted a nagant Revolve.many were used by the russian officers in WW2 alongside the tokarevs.A private C&R source I have dealt with in the past has a load of them and also sells the 32acp cylinders for them.Ok what would be a decent price for these.The couple sells them for about 100.00 or less.What are they worth?They are in excellent arsenal condition with holster.Also where can I get the ammo for these and is it cheap or should I just get a 32acp cylinder for it?Also are these revolvers good shooters?

Thanks,

I have two of them, I paid $49 each for them. The cylinders run about the same price so, for both under $100 you're looking at a good deal. I haven't shot mine but they are neat revolvers. The Russians used them for 50 years so I would say that warrants some sort of consideration as to how they shoot.

SOG sells 7.62 Nagant ammo for $25 per 50. The gas seal design works best with the specially designed Nagant round so being a purist, I didn't order a .32 cylinder. I'm happy to just have a box of ammo to go with the revolver.

Thanks Redstar for the info.$25 a box for 50rds!!!Ouch!I guess its not somthing to shoot everyday is it?Maybe I should get into reloading.Yes I know I should!

They are neat little guns, I wish I could buy one with my C&R :(

Zouave is in Noo Yauk so thats why he cant have one.

Just pick up the cylinder if you plan on shooting alot AKWARRIOR, it will pay for itself over reloading or the Nagant ammo. I don't think you lose too much from the difference.

I'm not a big fan of handguns, I seldom shoot any of mine.

I never could get the 32 acp cylinder to index w/o a hassle on either of mine. I ended up gving it to the person that bought the Nagant that I sold. You can fire 32 S&W Long in the Nagant with no problem. They are a little more expensive than 32 ACP but a lot less than Nagant ammo. The best accurqcy still will be the ammo that was designed for it.
