The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Hello all, first time on this forum, been reading alot of the posts, all are very interesting and am learning alot. I just recently purchased a 1943 91/30 sniper, or at least I think it is. Just looking for some info how I can tell what the markings mean and if indeed this was a good buy. Have some pics I would like to post, for you to look at and mabe get some information on what they stand for. Just not sure how to post the pics .

Welcome to the forum, it's easy to link to the forum reply box from photobucket, or you will have to resize the pics to 40x480 to post them directly on the forum from your computer.

There is a serial number in the left side of the receiver , and then another one above that, that number is also on the scope just below the marking, on the mount is a three digit number which is also on the bolt and the butt plate. What is this representing?

I will try and get some pics posted for a better view, just interested if this mosin is in fact real or fake.

There are some knowledgeable people here who know the PU snipers better that I, once they see the pics they will be able to give you a better idea.

Hi there, tryingto post some pics of my 91/30. they are not the best. trying to figure out what all the markings represent. wondering if this is a fake or could be real. date is saying 1943, i think Tula. any info would be great.

thanks.

the top number is also on the scope.

Bump to top, experts, have a look, I am not well versed in these.

i will try and get some better pics, or if there are pics of specific areas on the gun that would be better let me know.

thanks.

a couple pics.

Take pictures of the entire gun. Then move to any other areas that you want to show. Are you using a cell phone? Can you improve the lighting? Good focus in good light, and did I understand this is a sniper? Get pictures of area square inch of everything. You cannot take too many pictures.

here are a few more. thanks again for any helpful information.

What is the import mark?

? i know it 's a stupid question, but what and where do i find that

It should be on the receiver somewhere. It will tell what company it came from.

ok, i thought those markings i took pics of would show that. i must be mising a another mark on the reciever, is it usually on the top or side. i know there is star on it,,,,Tula has a star but usually with an arrow in it, but i thought some just had the star?

You have some really nice barrel shots, but the receiver is the part with the bolt in it.

ok, so your saying if i take the bolt out... there will be some markings in the reciever that will tell where it came from? the markings on the barrel is that telling you anything?

The import mark should be on the side (outside) or top of the receiver.

ok
