In 1891, the Russian Empire adopted a bolt-action rifle chambered in 7.62x54R, and designated it Model 1891.  In 1930, the sights, barrel bands, and receivers were altered and the rifle was given a new designation: the 1891/30, or 91/30 for short.  Aside from altering the rifles that were being newly produced, the government also began updating rifles already in existence.  Rifles were made in Russia, Finland, France, and even by Remington at one point!  The 91/30 was the workhorse of the Russian armed forces for decades and saw action in both World Wars and was witness to the fall of the Russian Empire and its transition to the Soviet Union.
Because these weapons were so widely produced for more than half a century, the 91/30 provides a unique opportunity to own a piece of history and a real powerhouse for relatively little money (try finding a usable US M1 Garand for <$80!).  The size of the 54R cartridge falls squarely between the .30-06 (7.62x63mm) and the .308 Winchester (7.62x51mm) so you know you’re shooting a rifle!  Some people even load their 91/30 up with soft point ammo for deer season.  With the bayonet, sling, and ammo pouch (for starters), you can really get an authentic feel for what it must have been like for a Russian soldier more than sixty-five years ago.
Whether it’s a round receiver or a hex, made by Izhevsk or Tula, there are so many little variations that you’re almost guaranteed to get a different rifle each time.

We took the Polish P-83 “Wanad” Pistol to the Range today. What a pleasant surprise shooting this pistol is. It lacks the typical bite that most 9×18 Makarov pistols of similar size have, and is really a zippy little shooter. Accurate as well.
The P-83 “Wanad” replaced the P-64 as the official Polish Military and Police sidearm in the early 1980’s. I believe the “Wanad” refers to the metal or metal process used in the construction of this Pistol. It’s a heavy little sucker at 1.6lbs unloaded. I am sure that helps with the little felt recoil.

Introducing the new Daniel Defense M4 V3 Mid-length 5.56/.223 Rifle. This is our first video production, so be nice.

So how can we sell magazines so cheap!? They must be crap quality and will fall apart the first time you use them right? Or they are made overseas by some poor kid working 120 hours a week for $1.16 a day.
Nope, not these magazines. These Military Grade Magazines are made right here in the great United States of America by Robots! And happy Robots at that. Check it out:
