The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

No need to look at the bottom of the receiver - it's a Westinghouse by the top stamp which matches the barrel - and they aren't dated underneath. All NEWs are marked 1915. The bolt is a later Soviet bolt renumbered and the cleaning rod is the M39 style but also sometimes found in longer lenght on M...

Howdy all, I have undertaken the goal of compiling Finnish serials for the sake of rarity determination, historical serialization, and attrition rates. I have created a Microsoft Forms survey which is totally anonymous and takes approximately 4 seconds to submit per rifle. It can be found here: htt...

k thanks

very weird that it has a russian trigger and floorplate but it is highly likely that the reciever is original Mixed parts are the norm on Finnish mosins. The trigger, floorplate, basically anything could be from any arsenal. Which screw is buggered? I can't tell from the pic. like you know the two ...

would you guys know where I could get a new screw for the buggered one that I mentioned?

this is just some info i found on a forum New England Westinghouse M91's had neither dates on the tang or the Imperial crest stamped on the top of the receiver so that's a possible origin of your receiver. Look on the underside of the receiver for a stamped letter such as a E or a M with a arrow po...

apparently remington and westinghouses did not mark the underside of the tang. But one on the top

Maybe it is the original reciever? I doubt people forge mosins very often

I also discovered a marking on the floorplate that I will post a pic off. here also is the screw that got messed up

weirdly there was no markers mark under the tang the only markings i could find were under the recoil lug which i forgot to take a pic of but there was a k and a d I will post pics of the trigger and under the top tang . there were two little wood screws that hold the barrel band from slipping one o...

Also how did you get your mosin? My 1894 Izhevsk M91 with a 1927 Tikkakoski stepped barrel came from a pawn shop. My 191? (Could be 1915, 16 or 17) Remington M91/24 "Lotta Rifle" with a 192? (Could be a 1924, 25, 26 or 27) Böhler Stahl stepped barrel came from a gunshop. No import marking...

it also came with a bayonet that is marked remington but the serial number on it is 527105 which does not match the reciever

here is the one from the rifle

which is elongated one

it seems to match this guy

the cleaning rod seems to match this guy
