The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Hello, my first real post here. Found this at the Carlisle Gun Show last week.

Nice find, 91/38, looks to be in very good condition

Oh yes very nice!

Check it out. It has /59 on it. Cool 91/59. I thought is was a 91/38 as well at first.

very nice!!!

You scored on this rifle. Well done !!!

Dang that's nice. The rifle has been through a few changes in its life. I'd like to find one like that.

Congrats on a very uncommon and I might say rare 91/59. This was either an M-91 or M-91 Dragoon in it's previous life and you just don't see very many 91/59's with that kind of historical reference. I've only seen one other 1925, my '25 Tula. I'm sure that there are probably more around the forum though. I would be interested in what you paid for it just so you can understand the value of this carbine. Recently a '32, can't remember what armory, went for $600 plus in an auction-can't remember now but could have been more. I was bidding on it and eventually shook my head and left disgusted. I feel that the bidder paid significantly more than the market value. But, if you paid under $400 for, you stole it IMHO. This is one you keep. Great find. I only wish I had this kind of luck at the gun shows.

Nice rifle.

I purchase both of my 91/59 in that area. A common 43 and a not so common 32.

91/59's with hex receivers are a very uncommon bread and a very nice find.

Very cool find!

Thanks everyone! Everything I learned was from you and this forum. With tax and transfer it came to $400.

If you ever want to sell the '32, let me know

Zeebill has a similar one but a bit older IIRC. This is the second oldest I've seen. Nice! I would love to find one.

Considering tax and transfer, you got it cheap.

400 bucks, and worth every penny. It is beautiful. All I can add is congratulations!

I would have happily paid the $400 to add that 91/59 to my 91/38 collection.

Beautiful and very cool Mosin; Congratulations.

Yep... Me too. Looked at that rear sight & sure enough; An Ex-Dragoon 91/59! Nice Score!!!!

Yes,the proper milled rear sight and the proper front sight with the large square base. Thanks!

Very nice catch! Congratulations!
