The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

WOW, Two years plus on the forums and you just bought one! Now that's what I call self control.

Very nice choice for you first Mosin......I started with the usual 1943 Izhevsk as lots of others have.

Samco has the same molot snipers for 600 or 620 depending on condition. Well, I thought about it and read somewhere that they sell to walk-in customers. Figured that a lot of the good rifles may be gone if they do sell that way, not 100% sure. So since I bought off of Classic before and was very sa...

Nice buy! I paid a lot more for mine and it's not a Tula. Sweet!

Earlier, there website showed sold out, but now it's showing they are still available at the sale price. I got my order confirmation. I went for it also, but sorry that I did. :oops: I should have went for a Rguns and got an original. Not sure what I'm going to get. I thought about calling and canc...

That's a real nice looking gun!

Two weeks ago Cabala's had one 1942 CKO out of 72 guns. I was wondering what it meant too. They also had two ex snipers, three Tula's and three Hex guns total. One was a 1930 but the stocks were so beat up I don't think the $169 was worth it for me.

Samco has them for $599 and hand select for $619. I paid for the hand select and got a numbers matching 1944 tula with a 1943 Krasnogorsk scope and the bore looks like new. Stock is a little rough but I couldn't be happier with my purchase. That may be the way to go. Your gun sounds like a very goo...

Been looking at buying one at a later date but the prices are going up a lot and the day will come soon where they are no longer imported. I may just may buy one from Classic even though they are Molots. Have to think about it as its a lot of money to spend without seeing or knowing what you will get.

Out of the 16 I purchased on Ebay last month, 13 work great and 3 are garbage. I don't know why? Maybe cheap China clips thrown in on purpose with the good ones or is it hit or miss with originals? I don't see any difference compared with the working clips. Also, all are marked with a stamping which...

Looks like good shooting to me! Like the pics of the range too. Personally I like the challenge of the open sites and if I hunted I would not use a scope on my MN. Last weekend I went to a 100 yard range to shoot my least favorite gun, a common 43 Izhevsk. Well, It shot great! I just wanted to hit t...

I like the video and I can't believe how quiet the gun sounds. Good shooting in the cold weather!

Junk Yard Dog, I have no need for a "real" gun like a Savage with all the goodies, ect. I don't hunt like most of the gun owners I know and at 49 I don't think I'm going to start now. Just started into guns (1.5 Years) and I'm a collector at heart so I would be very happy to have a Sniper ...

Just something to think about. If you save the money from the purchase of 2 refurbs, you can buy 1 better rifle. I know the temptation to buy quantity is always there, but in my collection I try more for quality. Well said...I just passed up a good deal on a 1942 Tula Ex-Sniper from a friend for $1...

I think the idea is great but what happens is we have 25 pages of posts or 50? I believe that the first post needs to be edited with ALL the numbers listed in a basic order so that people would have a quick check list to look up. May need two columns with the ones Needed and the ones people Have. It...

I want to buy some stripper clips so looking on ebay the originals are priced at about $6 a clip for originals. So a few questions. 1. How were the Russian troops issued clips? In ammo cans, cleaning kits or just passed out? 2. If they are in the ammo cans, I have two unopened pictured below. Would ...

I don't know if I'll get the Big Orange or Red button expressing my opinion but if someone want's to mess with their gun, so be it! I have a friend that modified his Mosin stock and that's ok, but not for me. Another guy at work called them junk after I bought my first. I asked him why he thought so...

Thanks for all the interesting replies. Only a few of my LGS carry the MN and a few more may start soon. I'm hoping to be able to get a call when a order arrives and pay normal prices for better collectable guns. The one dealer looking to buy a crate was asking me questions on prices other dealers w...

I'm new to the forums and MN in general but I wonder if I'm a little late for getting a nice Hex for the same price as a round receiver. I ask this question because I went to my LGS and they had about five Izhevsks with round receivers at $160 but one hex 35 Tula in fair shape for $175. I thought th...

Hello All! Just want to say I'm looing forward reading and learning about the Mosin from this forum. It looks like a high quality forum and I will have questions to ask. I'm new to guns (1.5 years) and purchased my first rifle, a 1943 M91-30 a few weeks ago and things will never be the same again! T...
