The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

You can use a bronze brush with the oil to scrub the rust. Bronze will not hurt the finish. Wipe with a clean cloth when done and reoil. I would clean the bore as well.

I just looked at gunbroker and people are asking 1200 and higher for M39s. It seems like yours would not be a bad deal.

Yes, it was quite some time ago. If they are bringing 900 where you are, then 1200 for something you want wouldn't be bad. I have overpaid for things, only to have the market catch up and make the purchase a good one.

That is a nice looking rifle. I don't know what the going rate for them is these days. Last M39 I bought was $275.

Very cool.

I have a M39 with a Polish eagle marked bolt body. It may have been in one of the conversions before the Finns got it. I don't know.

I'm 24 years old and i'm italian. I mostly collect german military photos from 1930 to 1947. But recently i got my italian permit to buy guns and I started my gun collection with the most beautiful gun ever, a mosin nagant.

Welcome aboard.

That's different.

Thanks for all the help. Sorry I was gone so long I got sick again. Looks like I,ll be getting rid of my stuff. Can you suggest the best way to sell this rifle. I would list it here and/or on one of the other forums. I have no experience with gunbroker or any of the other auction sites, so I couldn...

Same here.

I traded off an M39 years ago, but got something about as cool, so it doesn't burn too much. I'm with Darryll thinking I need to liquidate them on my terms.

Looks good, but the bottom "hook" should stick out further to catch on your pocket when you draw it.

You will have to check the local laws where you want to go compete.

Welcome aboard.

Happy Birthday!

Yea but that don't make it an assault cabin, two story, sniper windows, back door gunner.

Yeah, but JYD's has a madman behind the wheel blaring Victrola music, armed to the teeth.
