Re: I feel blessed
Three of them have the gap under the rear site. The mark does look like two crossed hammers in a circle, but it could be a poorly stamped hammer and sickle. There are small stamps all over this rifle, even in the wood. I will try to get a few upclose pics with my usb microscope sometime and post the...

Re: I feel blessed
There were actually 5 hex receivers in the crate and 2 very nice round tulas that were very nicely finished. I didn't have enough cash to buy the 5th hex, so my friend, who showed up 10 minutes later, bought that one along with a few other nice rifles from the crate. He kept trying to get me to trad...

Re: I feel blessed
Here are a few details of the 1933 Tula. It appears that the magazine floor plate may have been force matched http://www.weebly.com/uploads/1/5/5/5/1555853/1563224.jpg?149 http://www.weebly.com/uploads/1/5/5/5/1555853/5777161.jpg?134 http://www.weebly.com/uploads/1/5/5/5/1555853/4713421.jpg?137 http...

Re: I feel blessed
I am using my phone to take the pics, so I'm definitely limited on how good of a picture I can take. I will try to post a few more.

Re: Seems like the Finns were'nt the only ones...
I wish I could read russian. Of course the schematic says it all I suppose. What purpose do the shims serve? It looks like it would just make the reciever sit higher in the stock.

I feel blessed
I recently purchased my first Mosin, four Mosins actually. I love the look, functionality, and history of this rifle. When my friend opened the crate I felt like a kid on Christmas morning. I admit, I felt somewhat guilty in getting to pick out the best in the shipment, but I console myself in knowi...
