The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Hi. Thanks for allowing me to join the forum.

I have an old Mosin that I've had for years but really know nothing about it.

So far I have figured out that it is:
a. KO-M91/30 imported to the US as a sporting rifle to get through customs easier
b. It was built in 1942
c. It was built in the Tula Arsenal
d. Appears to be all matching except the force-matched magazine

Thats where my research ended so far. Any details that you can share about my rifle would be very appreciated. Many thanks!

It looks like a pretty standard refurbed 91/30. Looks unmolested. Keep it as is and it will gain in value. Shoot it and enjoy it.

Thank you very much for the feedback!

The bolt is also force matched. It lacks the serial number prefix. Nearly all refurbs like this are all force matched so that's expected

Great to know. Thank you!
