BABY NATASHA IS MY KEEPER. SHE FELL INTO MY LAP, A 1943 Izhevsk arsenal IN MINT CONDITION ALL # MATCH NO SCRATCH OUTS OR RENUMBERED. MOST MOSINS I HAVE HANDLED HAD THEIR BATTLE SCARS OR RE-ARSENALED PARTS, SOME WERE PRETTY GOOD AND SOME LEAST TO BE DESIRED. WHAT IMPRESSED ME THE MOST WAS NATASHA'S TRIGGER, TIGHT NOT SHAKY SHORT SQUEEZE OFF 4 LBS AND BANG. I DECIDED NOT TO PUT MY TIMNEY IN IT. THE STOCK HAS A FEW MINOR DINGS SHIPPING OR CRATE MARKS. THE BLUING IS NEAR PERFECT. THIS WAS A SPECIAL BUILT RIFLE, YOU CAN TELL BY THE LOOK AND FEEL. IT WASN'T A QUICK CUT UP OR MACHINED RIFLED. I SHOULD KNOW I HAVE BEEN AROUND MACHINE SHOPS ALL MY LIFE. NOW A LOT OF WELL INFORMED SPECIALISTS THINK THE 59S ARE USED HACKED UP 91/30S I HAVE TO DISAGREE. AND WHEN I LEARN MORE ON HOW TO DO THINGS ON THIS FORUM WITH HELP FROM U GUYS (I HOPE) MAY BE WE CAN SORT THIS OUT. THANKS. OH JUST TO SAY
We are all imperfect reflections of The Universe the important thing is that we learn from our past mistakes.
Welcome to the board
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

OK, this is my first post. I will be buying my first Mosin Nagant in the next week. Just beginning to be interested in shooting again. I probably have not fired a gun since basic training and that was a very long time ago. It's way too late to call this a mid life crisis. For some unexplainable reason I think the Mosin Nagant is a very cool rifle and an inexpensive way to get into the sport. I plan on only shooting paper targets and the local range and perhaps the occasional watermelon.
I am happy I found this forum and I am sure I will provide a lot of entertainment with many ridiculous newbie questions.

This is my first time to the forum, so I'm doing my initial post here as per request.
My name is Chad, and I've owned my Mosin for about 3 months now. I've sadly only gotten to take it out shooting once so far though. I loved every minute of it though and couldn't be happier with the rifle.
I've only ever fired smaller rifles (such as 22s and pelet guns) so this being my first "real" gun I'm truly rather pleased. I love nearly everything about it and can't wait to learn more. I have a few photos taken in some what poor quality that I should have up soon.
Again, hello to all the peoples. I'm excited to be joining your community. >^_^<
