The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

I sold mine a couple weeks ago. Was a TN Guns build. You can find them being sold right now through Centerfire Systems or J&G Sales for $430. Mags (drum or 36-round stick) are cheap. http://i1093.photobucket.com/albums/i423/mberoose/IMG_2084.jpg http://i1093.photobucket.com/albums/i423/mberoose/...

that is a really clean example of a M59 which actually is a collectors item. if you want to preserve that Chinese spam can take a putty knife that is stiff and use the corner to puncture the back of the can in the center. Then get the edge of the putty knife in the hole you made and with a hammer c...

It kinda goes without saying that there's significantly older rifles in existence that get used frequently, and obviously a gunsmith could give anything a once-over to determine its' suitability for use, but hey, more power to the guy for his ignorance.

A triple-date MO is a pretty rare bird indeed. Leave it be! :biggrin: What a coincidence, I just picked up a double-date MO yesterday. :D MO is allegedly short for Ministerstvo Oborony, or Russian Ministry of Defense. I saw a number of double-date marked MO's on GunBroker for $150-$180...triple-date...

One thing I think I've deciphered from the info pages (and you can see it on the stock picture, that single diagonal slash mark in the box) is that this particular rifle was a Ukranian refurb. Kinda cool.

I've been looking over the various markings on it today, and there really doesn't seem to be much that's out of the ordinary on the receiver, but there's all sorts of weird little stamps on the stock. Various numbers here & there...haven't been able to find anything on them in the info pages. I'...

Please do another picture of the receiver showing all numbers and the M O, tnx... are you hiding another buy from us :mrgreen: Please come clean on that :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :lol: Noo, I didn't get anything else. Forgot I had this one...sorry, tried my best to get a good shot. http://i1093...

Hey - My first time back on here in a while...already showed the MO marked Tula 91/30 I got today, might as well post up the SKS I got a couple weeks ago. This is my early matching numbers Samco import Yugo M59. Probably the nicest condition SKS I've had the pleasure of seeing in person, and I consi...

Nice buy, congrats. Thanks for sharing, looks good in the wood. Counterbored, yeahnay....and are you sure about the "Izhevsk", it rather looks like a Tula to me.... Arrow in 5 spike star than arrow in triangle for Izhevsk..... :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Er, Tula rather. Sorry...my b...

Hey folks. Been a while. Was on here last December when I bought my M44...figured I'd show off my new 91/30. It's a double date 1935/1949 MO marked hex receiver Tula. I understand these are somewhat rare (as far as Mosin Nagants go), so for the price of $100, I couldn't pass it up. Numbers match, so...

Thanks for the kind words. So I just had a bit of a random discovery...turns out, I received much more than 90-100 rounds. I mean, when I was leaving the guy's house yesterday, I knew the box of ammo felt pretty heavy, and it looked like more than 90-100, but I was more focused on the rifle at the t...

Probably ran 50-60 rounds through it today. There were really no surprises. Seemed to be sighted in pretty well, was just a little high at 100 yards (as expected), but overall fairly consistent. Trigger shocked me, a little bit of initial creep but a nice crisp break for an old rifle. Very nice. I h...

Thanks again to everyone.

My buddy's cousin is coming home from Afghanistan soon, and he said he'll sell me his 91/30 for $80. No idea of the specifics of it, but at 80 bucks......I really don't care.

Finally got my hands on a Mosin. :D 1948, matching numbers M44, the one I mentioned in my first thread. http://russian-mosin-nagant-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2012 To me, it's in EXCELLENT condition. There's almost nothing in the way of scuffs or scratches, no patches in the wood anywhere. Wo...

Welp...it's a 1948 M44 from Izhevsk.

Just asked him for that information. Ironically, the same shop that had the hex receiver I was looking at last weekend also has an armory decommissioned sniper model 91/30, matching numbers (wood patch over scope cut-out, plugged screw holes on the bolt...on Guns America).....and it turns out the ow...

Veddy veddy interesting.... So I'm on a local gun forum, and there's a guy in town with the following he's willing to part with: Mosin Carbine 90-100 rounds Stripper clips Sling & butt pad Asking $275. I've read through the Mosin ID 101 pages about the carbines, and I realize they are some of th...

Whatever you do don't get upset if you find a 'better' deal later. If you keep looking for the 'best' deal, you will NEVER end up with one. During the couse of your collecting you will end up balancing out the good deals with the ones that could have been better. That was probably the first thing I...

I think what I'm going to do is pick up the one I mentioned in the original post. Cabelas is a real hike from where I live, but within the next few weeks me & a couple friends are planning to go up there, and I'll probably pick up another one.
