Best wife ever

Post by warhawk77 »

I have been wanting a 1895 nagant for a while and I found one from a dealer that will have it at the guns show this weekend. My plan was to go Friday when they opened and buy it with my christmas bonus.

My wife knew all this and just sit quietly while I was stressing over finding one. She had ordered one for me a month ago and it's been under the tree all this time.

It's a 1941 Tula or at least it has the Tula star. Everything looks very nice few scratches, clean markings , wood handles are in good shape, barrel looks clean, little Cosmo, and no rust.

I will post some pics when I get them uploaded. About 30-45 mins

That's a very cool Christmas gift. I like how the importer marking is on the barrel.

I heard most are on the sides where the star is. I like it on the barrel keeps the side clean.

They put the stamp on the other side of mine and I think I like it there better than on the barrel.
