A little about myself! I recently started collecting 91/30's and have been addicted since my first a few months ago. A close friend (and new member here as well) derghost got me started a few months ago while at a gun show while searching for a special marking for him. Fortunately for him we found one, then another. He bought one and I asked about the other. I asked if it was my first would it be one to buy. So I came home with a 42/46 MO Izhevsk and started reading and searching what I could find about them. I'm still learning but having fun at the same time. Now that I have a few I want more.
Welcome to the board, good one to start off with, a rifle with a little extra. We don't know yet what that MO means, and the Soviets aren't going to tell us, but it's fun theorizing about it. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I just wanted to say hi. I just ran across this site today. I'm always looking for pictures and information on Russian firearms. I have an AK47 that I had built from a Romanian parts kit, an Arsenal AK74, VZ58 from Czechpoint and just purchased a Russian SKS a couple weeks ago. At some point I would like to add a Mosin. Thanks.

Hello there, first time and proud owner of a 1935 Tula Armory 91/30 Hex. It shoots very well and is incredibly accurate. But the reason y i have join is, i want to make my mosin pretty again.... it was definitely used so it has some imperfections u could say. My main question is the Bore.... its looks pitted and a I have run a few hundred rounds through it and clean it properly every time. Is it worth restoring?

Welcome to the board, the rifle sounds as if it looks as it should. It's a relic of another time, it's seen a lot of history , and real history is a nasty, bloody affair, nothing comes through it without getting the stuffing knocked out a bit. Leave it be and appreciate it for the relic it is, the bore should shoot just fine unless the crown is shot out, take it to the range and see what it will still do, check the headspace first of course.

Molot is a company in Russia that has been exporting various Mosins to the world including the USA. Due to the deteriorating situation between Russia and Ukraine as well as some of it's other neighbors, and the USA's stand against the Soviets in this matter we may soon see that pipeline cut off. Get them while you can.
