The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

I got my Type53 from buds, it looks very rough but shoots great, probably my most taken out rifle. The trigger is a dream and the bore is quite sharp. best $119 ive ever spent lol. I can hit 200 yard gongs with really good consistency. The best thing is seeing a guy with a $3000 ar-10 rig and a spot...

its ok, I will be on the lookout for more. I really am in love with the feel of this rifle (excpet the length of pull lol ) there is something about it that I cant put into words. Its just very cool.

Well that sure is bittersweet. Now i know a little more of what to look for in an original. Kinda stinks, why would someone ruin such a beautiful gun? I love the look of the red stocks. O well, now she is saved and hopefully she is a good shooter.

Hey everyone, I am getting pretty familiar with the mosin family but the sks is still very new to me. I just picked up my first one and it is a little different than others i have seen in pictures. I was hoping to pick the brains of the experts here and learn a little. The big concerns i have are 1....

My type 53 is one of my best shooters, Next time I take it out I will snap some pics. It did pretty well last time, I think around 5in at 100.

Indeed, I had only took it down and cleaned the bore/bolt and checked headspace. I just now did a full strip boiling water/hairdryer/degrease/ and frog lube. Speaking of that, has anyone here ever had a catastrophic failure? I saw a video by iraqveteran8888 on YouTube do a mosin torture test (defini...

Excellent choice! And great price, I paid way more than that for the one I bought. I loved it, very simple. If that is the 16.5 be ready for a beast. The blast and pressure from the muzzle are ridiculous! Super fun to shoot especially because its 54r and it was easy to clean. I traded mine sadly and...

I had to slap her around a bit, nothing real bad. It just needs a deep cleaning, I only did a small once over before going out. It wasn't like a Russian mail order bride to quote a nutn video. Lol

I actually had another first today as well that was 100% pure luck, I was shooting the m44 standing at 50 yards to see what I could do (the results were nothing to nod at lol) but I just took a gamble at the 200 yard gong and hit it first shot! I might as well have had my eyes closed, I couldnt repl...

That's real good shooting Joe. Have you posted the rifle already? :P :P 8-) Thanks guys, I try to get out once a week with at least one of my mosins, Yes I posted a few pics not too long ago, title was something like m39 heaven lol :Drool1: Its cool when your rifles get attention but bad because th...

Finally got a chance to take my new M39 out the range and test her out. Long story short, she shoots almost as good as she looks :Drool1: I couldnt find any shims inside and i hoped they hadnt been lost in her travels, but maybe it just didnt need any. My previous best streak on the 8" 200 yard...

eerie.. Now i wonder if i should actually clean it off...

OK so i am finally breaking this gun down to clean (m39) and I dont know if its just in head from what you guys have said but If I didnt know any better i would say this bolt and trigger itself have quite a bit of what looks to be blood on them. I have seen cosmo and grease and pitting but this is j...

Are you kidding? There's nothing like that for sale for s hundred miles here.
Good luck in your search.

you never know man, put out an ad and see if anything interesting comes up

After I told him what it was he seemed more interested in it, I offered $250 then $275 and he declined it and I didnt push further. Keep in mind I really wanted an m39 and I had to save for a bit to get the 400 I had to spend. In the heat of the moment it is easy to get clouded. He said he was prett...

I have had this happen to me twice recently and I was hoping to hear some interesting stories from you all if you have had any similar experiences. To me half of the fun of collecting Mosin Nagants is looking for and finding them. I always get so excited because you never know what you might find ou...

LOL Yes but this mosin may in fact be a 1945 m38. which no matter what would be worth a look

Amen to that, I wish I had a better camera besides an iPhone all of the mosin pics I take do no justice. You know you Ve got mosinitis when you want a new camera to take gun photos. Lol
