The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Now there is a rifle that is totally unmollested! I like it

We’ll check back in and tell us. Did you complete the purchase on this Sako? It’s a beauty and great find so I hope you did get it

It’ll soon be 2 months! Time keeps ticking away. It won’t slow down for any of us and I believe Darryl would want us to make the best of every day. I sure miss his simple wisdom when it comes to collecting and preserving antique and vintage military arms. The listings are full of good advice that he...

I’ve never seen one of these or heard of them. I’ll have to check your website to learn more but what was the purpose of the rubber bayonet? Training I’d imagine

That’sa quick way to turn a 800.00 rifle into a 200.00 rifle and I can’t imagine how you can get all that off it without a massive undertaking. Definitely work on the wood and metal separately and careful with the wood. A new stock is highly unlikely to be found without luck and a bag of cash

That sounds like a full pot of coffee effort to get it back up and running. Glad it’s ok Darryl

That’s real cool Erik. The equipment looks brand new. Did you buy a kit?

I don’t have my serial number handy but I’ll never forget the pride I had in buying my antique receiver M39. Kari Prager found it in his local honey hole gun shop in California. The shop owner let him take it home at which point he disassembled it and took meticulous photos. He sent me about a hundr...

That was a great find at a very fair price. Shooting these fine old rifles is on a whole different level. Up there perhaps with a nice Swiss K31 or perhaps the fine Mausers made by the Swedes. Thanks for sharing it. Your pictures are excellent

My first Mosin was a Izhevsk from 1943. Typical rough wartime receiver metal but solid and all matching. Can you believe I bought it for 59.95 back in the day. under 125.00 with a can of Bulgarian heavy ball ammo including shipping. Those were the days. The refurbished rifles are really an amazing t...

Holy thread resurrection Batman! I like it though. Looking back through old posts can net you a wealth of good information and great pictures

Absolutely beautiful to me!

Wow it’s amazing that in the past 120 plus years this rifle has survived the chopping block and sand paper. You found a gem that you may never see another like it in the wild, ever! Thanks for posting it here

Very nice and a lot of nice clear pictures is always a good post. Those are all outstanding

That looks like a excellent find right there. Beautiful to say the least and from the looks of your 50 yard target might even hang with the Swedish rifles. Congrats

That sounds like a wise decision. I too think it looks like it was put there during its time in the Finnish arsenals

I’d like to know if this fine carbine was ever bought. I can’t imagine letting a 91/59 that nice and that price slip by. No way

That looks like 2 great Rifle to own Cliff. I would enjoy both of them on the firing line. Congrats

Awe man I was just gonna say that! Yeah the rear barrel band screw. not really I’d never see that in the picture

Erik you sure can. Any of the Ruger birdshead frame grips will fit
