The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Drove nearly to Arkansas & Oklahoma to pick this up. I saw it on FB along with some others and decided to go take a peek. They had a M38 in a M44 stock with what looked liked screw in escutcheons but by the time i got there it was gone. The markings intrigued me so i pulled the trigger literally...

I picked this ugly girl up yesterday and spent more than I should have...damn impulse buying. It's a typical Romanian import with piss poor "re-arsenal" shellac similar to my Dragoon. Everything is Polish besides the bolt which is Hungarian. It has the typical century added serial on the l...

Nice, it looks like I have to add some more FB groups to my list, lol. Im in a dozen or so from DFW to Shreveport and this one flew under my radar...

I would assume it's an Ex PEM sniper from the location of the holes.

Thanks for sharing that link Lee, my stock looks just like that and was a point of interest. No cartouche or stamps at all, so i assumed it was sanded. Answers one of my questions now i know it was refinished with pine tar. It was bugging me because the balkan rifles i have are completely different....

Cool! When I saw the picture I first assumed it was a Finn and the only reason I jumped on it. I was unaware of Finn capture rifles that didn't possess an acceptance mark (or at least a D, 41, 40 mark) I guess you can learn something new everyday. The trigger components condition seems to match the ...

I won this 1936 Tula 91/30 cheap enough that I don't mind the piss poor rusted bore. I was hoping for a Finnish capture but from all my recent experience I would say this is a Balkan Import with very little finish left and some stock repairs . The bolt "matches" the barrel shank though the...

It looks like it did have those over pressure issues, looks to have cracks behind the tang that may have been repaired but it seems to open up if it has downward pressure on the butt stock .

Dont buy an I.O. Inc. Ak...pure junk and Ill stand by that. I prefer an AK74 over my 47 but I like them both way more than any AR15 I've shot.

Here is some pictures for amusement. A 8x56r that almost fully chambers.

I tried to get a decent pic of the chamber (needs some cleaning). Compared to the chamber of my other rifles it looks crude and may be a little larger I cant really tell. I doubt its any indicaton but I put a 8x56r round into the chamber and it almost fit in. I would say about ~5mm of the round was ...

Yeah, numbers on the stock match the barrel shank.The two parts of the stock look be same condition and handling marks. The cuts on the two pieces match so I don't think it was pieced together. The makeshift rear sight slide and one of the screws looks to be bubba but it has the same patina and weat...

Today, I traded a 91/59 that was pretty beat up for this 1896 Tula M91 Austrian Capture. My first observations that it is probably a Vet bringback. It has a duffel cut and no import marks or Finnish/SCW markings. I am looking to get some advice what modifications was done by the Austrians or Bubba. ...

It looks to be an original style stock, retrofitted crossbolt as well. It looks to have a Romanian splice near the nose cap, but forgot to take a picture. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t95/Pip6214/Mobile%20Uploads/20140725_210506_zpspskksmq6.jpg http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t95/Pip6214/Mo...

I got my 1904 M91 Dragoon today and after a few hours with a blow dryer I was able to get the crap load of cosmoline mostly off of it. Upon inspection it looks a lot like a rifle with Balkan heritage due to the peened Imperial markings and CAI import mark. It must have been the first day doing shell...

It looks just like the sling I got on my Finn 91/30 that I picked up this week.

I was lucky and got mine for $160 shipped a couple months ago. Unfortunately, it is a bit finicky and it only likes the 50rd boxes of Federal match and CCI mini-mags

I think I answered number two myself, its hard to make out but looks like (10-06-194_ ) so June 10 194_
