The article appeared in two parts in December 1927 and Jan 1928 issues. I've tried to find copies of the articles but have been unsuccesful. Does anyone have access to these issues who would be willing to send me a copy of the article? Or perhaps you could direct me to a source. Thanks Dick M. I Like a Handgun. I hold a shotgun in high regard; but rifles - well, I love the darn things. Jack O'Connor

I'll find out today. I live only a few miles away and am retired - so I could slip by there during the day. Let's see. Don Added at 1700/1 Dec 08: Shooter, you must be living right. I called the NRA museum this AM and asked if articles from early Rifleman magazines could be obtained. The young lady said yes, if they can find them. Told her what you are looking for. BINGO: She called me back a little while ago and said she had both parts of the article. She is going to mail them to me and I'll scan and post them here. Probably by Fri of this week they will be up here. Don Last Edited By: DonW 12/01/08 06:07 PM. Edited 1 times.

I didn't try calling NRA, I did an online search unsuccessfully. I look forward to seeing it. Dick M. I Like a Handgun. I hold a shotgun in high regard; but rifles - well, I love the darn things.

This article is of interest due to the author. This thread is not an endorsement of sporterizing functioning milsurp rifles. Lets not see any postings about how you followed Linden's advice and turned your milsurp Mosin Nagant into a deer rifle.

Should've driven over there to pick up the package. I called earlier today but got a recording and no return call. Sorry 'bout that. I'll keep at it. Don

The articles (2 parts) came in today's mail. Ten pages in all and the copy quality is not really great as I guess the original pages were larger than 8 X11 1/2" copier paper. But most of the article can be read with little difficulty. I guess I flunked scanning as I cannot get a full page on each scan run. I planned to mail the product received from NRA to RgrNo1Shtr but maybe there is some gracious volunteer who is efficient in the scanning process and has some more serious equipment than I ??? Don't know if you can read it, but the first sentence of the Editor's Note reads as follows: "Though in its as-issued state it is one of the ugliest rifles ever manufactured, the 7.62 mm. Russian Nagant holds unsuspected possibilities for remodeling into an excellent sporting arm." Shooter, if you will PM your addy to me, I'll get these off to you.
