The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Hmm!! Wow ok then

Thanks, that what figured, but why does it open up? Is there any reason? Thanks!

Thanks, that's why I got the gun. I love it's character, history, etc.. I'm new to this collecting. What's the best for me to do to preserve it. Meaning should​I wipe it down with something​ occasionally? I plan on shooting it. Obviously I'll clean the inside, what's best for the outside? Thanks guys!

On these rifles is it really worth trying to clean up, fill holes , etc.. when it comes to the stock? You may need to zoom into these pics. Sorry

Is there a reference to how to use the rear sight?

What makes it so nice? I'm drowning in websites and other information trying to learn. Sometimes it's just better to ask people who know. I got it for 80$ it sounded like a deal. Hopefully it was. Thanks for the info!!

Here's a couple as of now. Thanks!

Just got my first Mosin! Been wanting one for years. I've been looking for ways to ID this one. Found most of the markings. Does this one rank in the common department? I've found some pages etc.. but honestly I'm still confused. I found the SA stamp, etc. Thanks in advance!!
