Those 1895 Nagants are neet. Firing pin like a nail, and did you notice the cylinder comes forward as it rotates into battery and locks into place to seal the barrel/cylinder gap just before the firing pin drops..

Oh yeah, and if you have a bit of trouble finding the funky lookin 7.62X38 cartridges it shoots, you can shoot .32 colt from them. course it swells the brass a bit so it wont reload easily. But it is safe to do so.
