"Collectors Forum" - All Mosin Nagant are discussed here. Also the Russian and "Finnish capture" SVT38 and SVT40. This is an excellent place for new Mosin owners to ask questions. We have some of the best experts here looking forward to your questions. If you post a Mosin sniper rifle here, we may or may not move it to the sniper forum.

When it rains it pours. This is the 2nd of three Finn capture Tulas I've brought home recently. I dropped by a local shop that mostly deals in black rifles etc and this rifle and an m44 stuck out. I gladly paid their asking price and hurried out before they changed their mind. (Refurb price give or take a little)
1939 Tula, Has that hard to find poulustislaitos stamp that's so hard to find since it was only used for a few months. Tula stock dated 38 or 39, no matching numbers. Well used but servicible bore. SA marked but no D mark. The tractor belt sling I added, it looks right at home on this one.
On Facebook? Check out the non-sporter preservationist group at: OOOPS. Deleted by Facebook because it's evil to even discuss collectible firearms on social media these days.
It looks like something I should have in my collection, especially since your wood pile looks like my wood pile. ;)
Alexander Hamilton, Federalist Papers #29: ...if circumstances should at any time oblige the government to form an army of any magnitude that army can never be formidable to the liberties of the people while there is a large body of citizens, little, if at all, inferior to them in discipline and the use of arms, who stand ready to defend their own rights and those of their fellow-citizens.
Wow thats killer. Next time Im in PA I'm gotta snoop around some more!
Governments don't live together.
People live together.
Governments don't give you a fair word
or a fair fight. I've come here to give you either one.
Or get either one from you.
Mighty fine All the '39 Tula I've had were super shooters...very close to M 39's. I wonder if Stalin ordered, this year, all Mosins are to be made with extra precision. He saw what was about to happen.

Very cool!!! I picked up one of these about six months ago but paid a tad more than refurb price. Congrats! You have all the luck. I would have jumped all over that one too.
"Luck" is an engineered condition controlled by the situation you put yourself in and the effort you put forth and the control of your priorities. Great Job Racer! Bill
