The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Thanks everyone. It looked like the gap was bigger in the pictures I was looking at and mine had some cosmoline was in it. After wiping it away I can see it now.

I bought this Mosin about a year ago. The guy who sold it to me told me it is a 1928 ex-dragoon from the Tula Arms Factory. He wasn't selling it for any more than the other Mosins he was selling so I went with the one he seemed excited about. Today I decided to figure out if he was right thinking it...
