The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

would like to see more of these rifles. my 2 have a very close sn . both are 33 dated Izhevsk's

lol, I love it!

And it's a game I finally get to participate in!

1938 Izhevsk 91/30:

were off to a good start with some very nice rifles added.

I haven't run into any red lettered rifles yet.

A red crayon would highlight the numbers

That's why I leave the cosmoline on this one. I know it's nothing too spectacular, but its the only one like it I have

A little clear shellac applied over the markings would preserve the color, that is what shellac is, it's a preservative once commonly used to preserve steel parts while in storage.

Bump. I wana see some more of these rifles.

i need to take another picture of mine in acouple of days when my next one gets here.

I never knew that! Thanks JYD. I

I have 1 91/30 with red letters and its got the brass handguard bits as well. All on all a neat looker.

Are these all rifles painted with the suicide Agent Orange?
If so, then they are all sleeper rifles and need to be confiscated to go through de-toxication measures like clean-licking. So what do we CA people do? Where can we send our rifles other than directly to BATFE in Sacramento? We Californicated Mosin fans need an answer, asap....help!

I am an official Red letter tester, Send them up and i will promptly take care of it and send them back when i get around to it. (government time)

Problem solved for me. Good I do not have one of them or I would have to send it to DESDEM ! And then? ....

I was thinking just how rediculous that whole cyanide story is. Can you imagine a group of guys in a confined space together, cyanide rifles at the ready, and it starts to rain. I can't blame the person that bought that rifle for 150.00 as that isn't too bad, but I hope they weren't buying that story.

Closest I've got to a red lettered Mosin, I guess someone before me went and licked all the good stuff off, died, and it went back on the market

I have a Hungarian M44 with the red lettering, finding the pics would take all day , maybe later. I also have a red tire crayon so any of my Mosins could have red lettering

I have two red lettered rifles. They tend to stick out when you are searching through a rifle crate .

whats the big deal with the red lettering? are they more special or something? i saw one at a local gun store with the red letters and i actually didn't like it.
