The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Thanks willyj73, The stock sure is in decent shape. If it was refinished at some point whoever did it seems to have taken care. As much as I wish it hadn't been touched I've seen far worse "Bubba" jobs so I can't complain. If you don't mind me asking what year is your Sestroryetsk that's m...

Beautiful

Very Nice.

I absolutely love the Roll Mark of Sestroryetsk!!

Hahaha gopedxr7, I'll be holding onto this one for now. I believe Sestroryetsk produced Rifles from 1892 to 1918. So this is a fairly early one for sure.

I am on the hunt for one of these now, has not been easy in my area, awesome piece you have.

Neal45, Oh I did peek at your '91, beautiful! I've been lurking all posts related to the '91 hoping to find new information. I've documented everything I could find on this Rifle that's "in stone" I have an ongoing folder of interesting things I've found that can be proved. Part of the rea...

Longcolt44, In the main topic matter there is a link to a gallery of Pictures... Where it says 1894 Sestroryetsk above all the listed markings... That's the link to like 20 pictures on imgur. There's pictures of every inch of this rifle, too many I thought to put in the main topic. If the link does ...

Thank you gentlemen, very interesting. I'm on the hunt for an M91 bayonet now, time to hit some gun shows!

To the best of my knowledge this is a Chatellerault receiver, I know they are much more rare than the Sestroryetsk. Which part of a gun like this determines what it is? The Receiver, Bolt and Barrel are all important and everyone of mine is marked differently....I'm sure there is a common knowledge ...

That is very nice and highly collectible. Remember that if you make any modifications, or try to refinish it that the value will be destroyed. Also, you may have discovered, that on m91 barrel bands, the retaining screw is left hand thread, and you only turn them clockwise enough to spread the band...

Thank you Foxbat_25! I can assure you I was very excited when I started researching it and the condition it was in. I'm here to learn as much as possible. I know it's a Finn Capture. It has been reworked many times judging by all of the different ordnance plant markings. I'm not sure how common they...

Thanks Millman! I looked over this thing top to bottom... Why are there no import markings on it? Does that help or hurt the rifle?

Thank You for accepting me into this group!! I've been interested in owning a Mosin for sometime and would love to share what I found with this community!!

https://i.imgur.com/kyMY1ik.jpg I recently purchased an 1894 Mosin Nagant for $150 not knowing much about them. I did as much research as I could and found that it is a Sestroryetsk model. Also has many other markings including Finn and I believe American. If anyone could help me learn more about t...
