Shooting the Zouve Rifle

The Remington Zouve rifle was one of the 1st true rifles used during the Civil War (having a thicker and shorter barrel than a rifle musket).  A 58 caliber, it shoots the same 500 grain Minie ball as the more common Springfield and Enfields.

Here Sarah shoots a replica Zouve using real black powder and Minie ball cast from a Lee mold that we carry at the store. Recoil is surprisingly light due to the weight of the rifle.

New Arrivals

Ranger Firearms is growing again. Over the last week, we’ve added a 2nd handgun display case and filled it with lots of new pistols from Smith & Wesson, FN Herstal, Springfield Armory, Sig Sauer, and more.

If you’ve been thinking of a Sig, but afraid of the cost, we’ve got the new P250 models in 9mm, 40 S&W, and 45ACP for prices too low to print.

If you need a pocket 380, we have a full selection including the Ruger LCP, Taurus 738 TCP, and S&W Bodyguard 380.  The Ruger and Taurus pistols start at $289.00 and the Bodyguard is only $369.00 and includes an integrated laser sight.

Looking for a 1911 style pistol?  Prices start in the mid $400’s for lifetime warranty Rock Island’s.  We have the new ATI Titan 3″ FX in stainless steel under $600.  Moving up in price, we have Taurus PT-1911’s with and without rails and various Springfields both blued and stainless.  Our S&W and Sig 1911’s should be coming soon.

Need a mil-surp fix?  We received a nice shipment of Nagant Revolvers with original holsters and accessories from $139.00.

Come in and see what’s new!  We’ll be posting new items in our rifle, ammo, reloading, and accessory departments over the next few days.

A Russian Time-Capsule Arrives

Mosin's in their original crate

Picture 1 of 2

We had a unique opportunity to purchase an entire case of M91/30 Nagant rifles ‘as imported’ in their original 20 rifle crate.  To make things even more unique, these rifles are all early Hex receiver, have matching bayonets which is rare for 91/30’s,  and most are pre-1936 and in excellent condition.

8 of the rifles are ‘ex-dragoons’ which means they are built using pre-1930 receivers – many with the old Izhevsk and Tula arsenal markings which changed around 1930.

We’ve got these priced to sell from $99 to $120 depending on the year and markings so come in and get a piece of Russian inter-war history.  Each rifle includes its serial matched bayonet, an ammo pouch, oil bottle, cleaning/tool kit, and sling.
