Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Re:
Welcome to the board Dylan, use the rifle as it is, sanding the stock will not likely improve it's performance to any noticeable degree. It's a light barrel on an ordinary infantry rifle, the bore has been use, it has wear, there is just only so much you can get out of them. Your best bet is to work up a good handload that shoots well in the rifle.Austrian6714 wrote:Hi, I'm Dylan from Oklahoma interested in learning a few new things from y'all. My Mosin is a 1942 Tula PEM Ex Sniper, beautiful condition, this is my whitetail rifle also. Not going to bubbafy it, gonna keep it basically original. So far my mods are
C&R Slack Spring
Finn Sear Spring
Shimmed
Smith Classic Adjustable Sight
Original Turn Down Bolt
Getting ready to sand the barrel channel, to free float

Re: New Members, Make your first post here!
Hello,
New to the board, just picked up my Mosin about 4 days ago. Sighting her in and taking her hunting within the next 2 weeks, pretty excited about that. I have tried to do research to figure out where she's from, where she's been, etc etc. Figured out the majority of it, which is cool to me, but I'm puzzled about 1 specific stamping on my rifle. Under the coking knob, where the metal meets the wood, there is a stamp that reads "2-7" and there is a "r" or almost like a palm tree looking stamp next to it. The picture, or whatever it is, is slightly larger than the "2-7". Any ideas? I can try to submit a picture, but I am new to forums and don't know how to do so. Thanks!

Welcome to the board, the vast majority of the small stamps you will find on the Mosin rifle are unknown, and likely inspection stamps.Tony6885 wrote:Hello,

Hello Everyone,
Just putting in my first post. I had a couple Mosins for a while but in the last couple weeks I started buying more. So I thought it was a good idea to get registered here.

Re: New Members, Make your first post here!
Hello all. Just joined this forum. Have many varying nagants and finnish versions as well. Have a question about the rarity and collectibility of the early antique pre 1900 sestorytsk made weapons. Any ideas?
