Primarily a Lee-Enfield collector but have a few MNs and SVT40s. Any idea on value of an 1894 French made 91 with later Russian 91 replacement stock? Is there a premium for the French made models?

I would say in a word YES
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

Hello everyone! I have never been on a forum before and things seem a little overwhelming but I am excited to join this group.

I just picked up a Mosin Nagant 1943 M91/30. I am super excited about this gun and its history. I want to add a picture of it but I do not see where to attach it...

Thanks,

Bradmiaz

No, just post information, questions or photos to the general Mosin forum.

Just retired from the Navy after 28 years. I love Milsurp of all kinds. Also an AKM and Fal Builder.
I have a few Mosins...Izhevsk 9130, Tula 9130, M38, M44, 91/59, and 3 Finns. I love restoring them from the dead.

If you had to rejoin I am guessing you were a member of the old RMNF board owned by Bob Wheeler. The board changed hands in 2011, or 2012, I forget . Anyway, welcome back.
