The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

I thought it wasnt supposed to touch the .95? I took it down for a good cleaning since I officially advertised it and when I put it back together I readjusted it

So I pulled apart the '38 Tula to clean it up since I have not done anything with it yet. My question is after the no go test and checking the firing pin protrusion is it safe to fire? I had to adjust the firing pin in because it rested on the .95 mark, it barely grazes the .75 mark now and has spac...

Anyone know why it's there?

cant find any info as to why but one of my Mosins has a hole in the end of the bolt handle ball, anyone ever seen anything like this?

Damn no wonder I can never find any SKS rifles, wanted one forever but I give up

question please, in the Tula I bought today there is a hole in the bolt handle and I cannot find out any information as to why there would be one there, any clues anyone?

Thanks! I am going to shoot silver bear non corrosive in "THEM" yes I now have my second Mosin already.......I did get another one a 1938 Tula non hex all matching s#s and bore looks good, not quite as good as my 34 hexed Izhevsk but it will do. There was a 41 Izhevsk non hex there that ha...

Lots of you guys from NY and PA surrounding states, miss the area I lived in Cochecton Ctr NY for a couple years, right on the Deleware

They are going for 179, wish I could buy them all but with 3 kids, middle class taxation, and a mortgage I may have to pass on most of them. I am going to hand pick another one tomorrow though, it's gonna take me 6 weeks to pay for itbthough, lol

Have at5823

There is a whole crate of them in my town at a small gun store where I just bought mine, I am going back tomorrow to put another on layaway (low on funds).
what I wish I could find was an m44 or m39, plenty of 91/30s around here

Thanks guys, I am super stoked about it and can't wait to pick up my next one. I have wanted one for years after someone at the range let me fire it off a couple times, lol
I'll post some pics and details of my progress, thanks again!

OK, I just got my first Mosin a couple weeks ago, haven't done anything with it yet other than buy ammo and try to figure out all the markings with not much luck. Its in good shape and all s#'s match except the bayonet, 1936 Izhevsk and the rifling looks good. Mynext step is to clean it and fire it,...

need 5249, Ill have to look tonight to see which one I have.
It does fit my mosin though...

I am going back to get another and will be reading all the valuable information ...
