Another new guy here. I've been collecting mosins for a few years and am just about to pick up my first arsenal rebuilt PU sniper. Hopefully I can pick up on some of the vast wealth of knowledge on this forum.

Welcome to the board
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.

New to the forum and new owner of a Mosin-Nagant M44. I bought it on a whim at local gun shop. Couldn't pass it up. I'm interested in learning more and participating on the forum.
Regards,
Joe

Making a quick intro. Been lurking for a few weeks without posting and have been enjoying reading and learning.
Few weeks ago I picked up a refurb not so special 91/30 Tula 1939. Bought some Wolf 180g and Russian surplus from the early 80's and have been having tons of fun shooting it and learning about old Mosins in general!
Yesterday, I bought my first Mosin, an unissued 1955 Romanian M44. It is in great shape with all numbers matching. I found this forum today and look forward to learning more about my "new" rifle.

First post, bought my first Mosin up at a recent gun show, excited to learn more about it.

My name is Matt, and I am a brand new member. I just recently learned about the awesomeness of the Mosin Nagant, and this forum.
I picked up my first 2 Mosins this year within a couple of months of each other. One is a great example of a Russian mil surp with nearly all the parts, and the other is one I'm attempting to rescue.
Aloha from sunny Illinois, the only state that has their past governors making our license plates. I've got a couple Mosins, they're fun to shoot.
Thanks
Bryan
Greetings,
I am new to the Mosin's and will be receiving my Uncles Mosin Nagant in the first week of October, I am not sure what type it is other than a Russian version I believe from 1943.
I come seeking knowledge on preserving it properly, happy to have found this site.
I will post more after taking possession of the fire arm and decoding the markings on it to see exactly what I have.
Thanks for a serious site on preserving these weapons.
I plan on using this rifle approximately once a month when completed.
I am not sure if this site is just for "Museum Level Mosin's" or Shooters grade as well?

Welcome to the board, we are a board for military surplus rifles in unaltered condition, many of us shoot our Mosins regularly. There is no " shooters grade" Mosin, they are all antiques, and collectables, some just more expensive and harder to find than others.

Thanks for the Welcome.
I just purchased my 1st 91/30 Mosin but I didn't until reading A LOT about them from this site which is great by the way.
My first one is a 1940 Tula with all matching numbers with the exception of the mag receiver bottom plate which has a struck out number and the new one added.
Every other number matches.
The bore is nice and clean and the rifling appears to be in perfect condition.
The cleaning rod is intact and all the wood work is in great shape with no signs of being refinished, repaired or patched.
The one thing I could not find on the net in regards to mine is the stamp of BK in front of the serial #.
It does have an import number etched on the receiver (Dot matrix style).
I am looking forward to cleaning it up a little (cosmoline removal) and bringing it to the range.
I did find a nice marking on it, (A #1 in a triangle) which seems to be a positive sign from what I could find online.
Very surprising to find one in such good shape, I know I'll enjoy the Mosin for many years to come.
I wanted one for the fact that I am concerned about the political climate today and wanted at least one Russian made weapon in my collection.
I will post pictures in the proper forum in a week or two as it will take that long to replace my damaged camera.
Thanks for letting me join your group, I am thrilled that such a place is possible.
