"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.

Hello Steve , welcome to the board Super deal for a real dragoon.
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.

Anyway I stumbled across this forum and glad that I did. My son bought a 91-30 and he got me interested in them. The more I researched the more interested I became in them. I now have one that has had the stock changed to a "Sport" but I have most parts to change it back to original and now in search of a few more to complete the transformation. The main part i need is the front top cap, I think I have located the rest but am looking for that particular piece finished out as close as I can find to match my wood so there will be no retouching to match. Getting ready to hit up some gun shows in the next few weeks to find some treasure!
Welcome top the board, good luck with the gun show hunt, we have been getting disappointing news from some members who are hitting the shows. High prices and low selection.

Appreciate the advice on the gun shows, have been looking also on line but trying to get the same stain or hue to the wood so it will match closely is a pain. I will continue on the gun shows carrying the stock with me so I can match it! IT ($$) may be worth a little more knowing that the color is right rather than ordering one in hopes the it will match. You know how colors transfer online...not good!

I have at least a hundred refurb Soviet Mosins, not one of them is exactly the same shade as any of the others. Variety, embrace it, grab every Mosin you can no matter what the shade of it's wood .

Russian M44, Finn M39, Tokarov. Don't know how I got started on these but, I have the fever now. Looking @ P83 & cz52's now. Maybe a M38. It doesn't end but the $ does.
Hey guys, I am new here. Been lurking occasionally and have questions so thought I should join! I am from Australia. Mosins are not as cheap here as they are in the US. No $80 rifles in nice condition here!
I own one Mosin currently a Russian 91/30 that was made at Tula. Pretty basic, nothing special but I like it, my first one.
I want to own another few, next I would like a sniper variant, not a make up, but a real sniper rifle.
I have a couple questions, should I put them here or in another more specific section? Its in relation to my bore condition and what accuracy I could expect/acheive. I am not into sporterising and military firearm, it repulses my to be honest. Keep em stock standard I say.

So shall I ask q's here or elsewhere?
Thanks for having me folks.
Welcome to the board, your probably better off asking questions on the Mosin forum, or the sniper one, questions might get missed in this thread.

This is my 1st post, obvious right ... just bought my 1st sniper and hope to learn a lot more about them on this site. Will share photos if allowed later. Thanks
Greetings to one and all! I enjoy collecting and learning about WW2 firearms, just got my second Mosin sniper from Classic Firearms. I intend to follow the rules of the forum and look forward to learning from the experienced members. Best wishes, Frank Blood

I like Russkie WW2 rifles, and have 2 snipers, 2 dragoons, 1 M44, and five 91/30s, also a Tula SKS dated 1951. I'd like to get a Dragunov and SVT someday, but those pesky details of maintaining a household and paying bills seem to get in the way of my firearms interests. Have a good one, Frank Blood
Has anyone had experience with Royal Tiger purchases in terms of prices, quality of surplus rifles in other words do they walk the talk ? I was considering a Tula sniper but haven't worked with them bebefore. Thanks for any help you can provide.
