1944 Izhevsk M1895 Nagant, my first one. Bought it private party in Arizona the other day, it basically looks like a brand new gun, got it for $149.00. Looking forward to shooting it. The bore is like a mirror, can't believe the shape this thing is in.
Very nice and at a great price. If you dont already have some get some surplus ammo for your Nagant. It is much better than the commercially made ammunition.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

I like the BATFE markings on yours as well. Not overdone
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

That 1895 one is in nice shape, I passed on that Bakelite grip when looking at a few, thinking perhaps I should have taken that over wood. Shooting it, be ready for "Dirty Harry" kind of recoil with those Nagant revolvers.

nice clean one. I seem to see Tulas a lot, but not Izhvesk. Never bought one yet.

I shot mine in an untimed steel target match once using Soviet ammo in a yellow box. I wish I still had some. I finished in the top ten out of thirty some shooters. You'll like shooting it. Very nice one you got.
