If it was short it could have been a 91/59, M44, or M38. It is rare to find a rifle with a bad bore since the Soviets rebuilt the rifles so much. In some cases the Soviets would counter bore the brl but that actually can help the grouping. Not seeing the rifle it would be hard to say what the deal is. When you say not accurate, are we talking pie plate accurate, man size accurate, or 20 oz coke bottle accurate? What distance were you shooting?

My parents think I am nuts when I drain most of my paycheck into knvies/gear but I figure once college starts and stuff I am going to be severly limited in my spending abilities.

Heavy bl brl with match front and rear sights and a match trigger. I am in need of a new barrel but the darn thing is still a tack driver at 200 yds using reduced targets for 600 yds.

Finland took many of the Nagants and made excellent shooters out of them. The winter war proved that.

Well like we were shooting at a Skid sized piece of plywood roughly and barely hitting it at maybe 50 yards. And I would go out on the limb and say I am a pretty solid shot I am not however familiar with many military style guns so it could be me in that perspective.

OK folks, I need to check out. I have much to do in the AM. You all have a good evening or morning. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Something wrong there. Maybe a bad crown on the rifle, bad rifling or worn out from improper cleaning, action loose in the stock. Remember the sights are 100 meters at the lowest setting but you should have been busting the pallets apart.
