The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Hello to all,
This is my Mosin, I'm not a specialist of this rifle but I like shoot with it. Anyone could help me to identify the origin of this rifle ?
Thanks a lot !



















I can take better pics under the sun light.

Izhevsk Ordnace Factory. They made M91's 1919-1926 and Dragoons 1919-1928. The front globe sight and the rear sight show it to be an ex-dragoon as they have been updated post WWII to the 91/30 configeration. Very nice rifle. I want one!

Didi11 that's a very nice updated Dragoon, I like the fact that they didn't sand off all the numbers and stamps from the stock when it was updated to the M91/30 configuration. Congrats
On second look, it appears the stock was replaced at update or refurb with wartime version. Still nice to have all the stamps visible.

Red

Yes you found a nice early 91/30. They are a lot of fun to shoot.

So, now you guys know what is available in France. No nasty import stamps to mess up a nice rifle. Welcome Didi11.

Nice..

This is your Mosin, there are many like it but this one is yours...

Now learn the rest of that if you don't know it already and repeat the chant every time you clean the Mosin and before bedtime every night.

Nice ex dragoon Izhevsk, and this one comes from Russia to start with, Izhevsk is steel city were they had, and still have a huge firearms manufacturing facility. Under the Czar, and the Soviets Izhevsk churned out the largest number of Mosin rifles of all models. Welcome to the board, and your first Mosin.

I'm very happy to know that I own now a true collector rifle and overall thank you very very much to everyone who replied to my post. I need now to find a nice original belt for my Dragoon Mosin and may be a complete and original Russian wwII uniform

Nicely done sir! I was trying to find a clever way to do justice to that quote.

Nice ex-Dragoon!

For the OP it will be "This is my Mosin, there are many like it but this one is mine"

Nice Mosin, Didi! What is the process of obtaining a firearm in France like?

Thanks

Very simple to obtain the permission to own this firearm in France beacause this one is in category C (Firearms in France are divised in 4 catégories:A,B,C,D,D2

C: we just need to be a member of a shot club + medical certificate, after a while we receive the National License and with this one we can buy all the firearms in category C

For all the other categories you can take a look on my presentation, everything is described as the best I can.

Didi11, here is a link to our ebay. I believe Europe has a version also. This is the type sling that would be correct for your rifle. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Soviet ... xy3zNSmOpe

This is my Westinghouse Mosin. It looks like it's found it's way to Russia, Germany and then Vaasa , Finland.

I'm very interested in this belt, yes we have the same in France but more expensive, so I will buy your. Do you have the little tool for easy and quick loading ?

Thanks

The sling in the eBay link actually ships from Moscow Russia, not the USA so you will probably receive it faster.

"These are my Mosins. There are many like them, but these are mine. My wife says too many but I say better than golf clubs. Without me my Mosins are nothing Without my Mosins I am nothing except when I have my M1, M1A, or Mk1 #3. Or hand grenades. Whats this rectangular thing that says front toward enemy on it?

So Mosinitis spreads worldwide. You have a nice rifle. It will get lonely and need a friend. This is a nice forum, people are polite, helpful and very newbie tolerant.
