May God bless you and comfort you and your family.

Rubbing it down with Denatured Alky will kind of smooth it over and more or less stabilize it a bit but I don't think that answer will be accepted here even though it really changes nothing but moves to retain what little is there. If this is considered a NO-no just strike this post. Bill :oops: Th...

So here comes the newbie question.... the stock is peeling this red finish off each time it is touched. Is it out of the question to remove the red finish? Underneath looks to be a very light wood stock or maybe even laminate. Thoughts?

I picked this up the other day and had never seen a bolt in the stock in this position by the magazine. Can anyone tell me anything about this? Was it a modification? A certain style of stock?... non Russian?
Sorry but I haven't found much information on the internet so far. Thanks

Semper Fi, Rob

No Molots from what I see.

bunkysdad wrote:Another good looking rifle. So how many guns did you buy last week?

A case of 20.

Making my way through some guns I acquire last week and came across this one.... Nice surprise! I assume this is an ex dragoon at 48 1/2 inches long and based on the markings... look like a Tula hammer on the tang too.
Any feedback or thoughts about this are greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys I picked each one of these up in a crate... 9 out of 20 looked like these! Jackpot>

Longcolt44 wrote:Excellent dates. I noticed these are from PW arms. Are these stamped Molot on the receivers?

Not familiar with "Molot" is it literally Molot stamped on the receiver? Several have MO stamped on them.

I think most of these are ex dragoons... Right? I recently acquired these and hope I did good. Sorry I didn't have time to upload other pics of these guns yet.

I declined... thanks for the feedback everyone!

Thanks

More pics...

BuckeyeSgt wrote:Is there a scope number on the left side of the receiver?

I don't think so but I will check.

bunkysdad wrote:I think this is becoming a more common price these days, and long after the memory of 275.00 is gone, you will still have your nice rifle. Congrats. I think you are going to like it.

Thanks for your thoughts and feedback.

I paid 275 for it... think maybe a little too much but wasn't exactly sure. What do you think?

BuckeyeSgt wrote:From what I can see it looks good. But not definate. What is the import mark? The scope looks legit as does some other stuff. But like they said, most faked Mosin out there.

How much is he wanting for it? Asking because it is another sign.

Asking 700.00 or trade @ same value.

Longcolt44 wrote:Need more detailed pictures. The Mosin sniper is one of the most faked milsurps out there.

Ok but what do you need detailed pics of? What parts? Thanks and again sorry I am a newbie especially the sniper stuff.

Yes sir.. not sure where that picture went.. I took it but somehow got lost. Clearly an SA stamp.
