The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Thanks guys. Thankfully it landed on its wheels and my 6'2" 265 frame had to climb out a window half crushed by the wreck, I'm sure that was amusing. Just FYI it was in a case and the vehicle was a Chevy HHR, no trunk. I will post some pics as soon as I can. I am getting ready to move on Saturd...

Got into a fairly bad car accident after shooting the other day. The car I was in flipped 4-6 times from eyewitness accounts. The worst part was My Mosin was in the back seat and the stock got messed up pretty bad. I am so sad. It was a hand pick with brass caps and proof marks from the refitting in...

I never use the safety on mine, but I do use the decocker though.

Correction $10

Will do guys, thanks. I actually just got off that site. Stuff is cheap on there. The entire follower and spring assembly is on $12.

My Mosin is a great rifle. Very accurate, more so than most, but the last time I took her out I had repeated FtF on the final round. It just wont feed. I suspect a weak spring in the mag well. I was wondering how pricey/ difficult it is to get a replacement for her, Or if you know of any other ways ...

Thanks for the advice. I will try that and let you know.

Its happening with mine. I just got it. I have never had this problem with my buddies 91/30 that I have put hundreds of rounds through. I was wondering if he got lucky, in the fact he has never had to load rounds a certain way. Also if the loading procedure you suggested is the proper way or just a ...

Thank you for the welcome. i am already looking at my next purchase. :) So was the rifle intended to be loaded this way. As previously stated, my friends has never had this issue. I have personally put hundreds of rounds through it with no jamming issues. Did he just get lucky that his rifle seems t...

Oh sorry that would probably help. Its a 1943 Tula 91/30

She shot extremely well. My two friends, who own Mosins aswell, were very jealous of the accuracy. Straight and true there was nothing I couldn't hit. Absoluely loved it. I only had two problems with feeding. The rims seemed to get stuck behind one another causing you not to be able to chamber the n...

Thanks for your input Junk. I think I am going to leave it as is for a while and het a scout set up for it later. I have never used the pu setup so I didn't know.

There are some options of adding scout style scopes that do not run afoul of the rules of the forum. These are totally reversible. When one starts into the realm of drilling and retapping, we draw the line. Do a search for an S&K Mount, or a Darryl's Mount. These should get you where you want t...

It would cost you way more to do what you are talking about than to go get a commercial gun and scope. You have a really neat piece of history there. There are some on here that haven't found wht you have and are looking all the time. Not that they are a totally rare bird, but they are not as commo...

What do I need to do to make it a Sniper again? Don't do that. It is an EX-sniper for a reason. Leave it as is and enjoy it. Very nice first Mosin. Wow. does any one think I should retuen it to it's former glory? Like I said I had planned on putting a scope on it before I found this out. Opinions? ...

And by the way, Thanks for all the love guys. The gun store had just opened a new crate so I took my time selecting it. I guess I chose wisely.

Well I had already planed on scout scoping it when I bought it. I know how acurate these rifles are, my good friend has 2 I have been shooting with for awhile. I Dont ever plan on selling it, so the collector value is not a major concern. I want to make this Mosin unique to me and the way i want it....

What do I need to do to make it a Sniper again?

Sure enough, you guys called it. So to make it a sniper again would I need a new stock for it? Can I even make it a sniper again? This is awesome. I love finding things like this.
