The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

What's the deal with these new handguards that aim surplus is selling for the carbines,could this be a sign that new stocks may be being made also?

I doubt very seriously anyone is making new stocks for sale (except maybe Molot) buy a Molot stock get a new rifle. I think the reason you are seeing hand guards is because they frequently get damaged in taking the rifles down for cleaning. That is to say that someone couldn't easily make one though.

With Mosins coming out of Russia there is no reason why parts can't come out as well, they must have had mountains of leftover and spare parts on hand to keep so many millions of Mosins in the field.

Copious amounts of ammo seems to set my yard on fire. The hand guard seems to just sweat nasty stuff a smell funny lol

That there is real deal. I think it should have said over copius amounts or maybe dubious amounts.
