Hello Andy, welcome to the board, we definitely are not the place to see sporterized milsurpsDeltabronco wrote:Hello,
I am new to this forum, but not new to the hobby. Glad to see this site prides itself on preserving surplus rifles by not condoning the "modernizing" of historical rifles. I look forward to participating in some good conversation about the hobby.

Hello Tommy, and welcome to the board, you will get used to that "kick" thing the more you shoot it.tommyd123 wrote:Hey guys... my name is Tommy. .. I'm a proud new owner of a 1927 mosin nagant. ...love the gun...shoots great, kicks like a mule and is dead accurate
Hello again Tommy, that mixture of parts is normal, what you have is a rifle that was refurbished by the Soviets after WW2, they mixed the parts up a bit. Perfectly normal and correct for your rifle. Star is Tula, the arrow is Izhevsk. The SOviets renumbered the rifle when they did the refurbishment.tommyd123 wrote:Hey guys...im new here...I just bought my first mosin the other day and wanted to know something....mine has both Russia manufacturer stamps on it....the bolt has the star..and the rifle has the arrow stamp.....the Koop thing is all the serial numbers match and are the original #'s...no double serial...I would show u a pic if I could.
Welcome to the board, what you have is a Soviet M91/30 the FInns captured during the war and put back into service with their own troops. We call these Finn captures, but they are just rebuild 91/30's. Not all will have the Finn built stock like yours, that is a nice plus.19ontheslide wrote:Hello all, new member to the forum here though I've been reading threads here for awhile. I currently own two Mosin Nagant rifles, one typical M-39 B-barrel and one that I just can't make heads or tails of. It's a high-wall, round receiver rifle stamped with the usual "SA" in box on the left side of the barrel, and in what is almost definitely a Fin straight grip stock (with finger-joints at the belly), but with its original Russian barrel (marked 1942) and sights (hooded front). Stock also has the "Z" and crossed cannons inside the gear stamp, and a well-centered stock bolt. I keep looking through my copy of Lapin's book but can't find anything quite matching it. I'll try to post some pictures up before long and hopefully I can get some info from the knowledgeable folks here. Looking forward to learning more about these fascinating rifles.
Welcome to the board Ryan, might be some Glock owners here, not me, I am a wheelgun man, but I think I have seen a few Glock posts. Don't forget to tell us the details of that new MosinHeyBigBear wrote:Hello everyone!
I'm a newbie to the site and the rifle and wanted to check in. Just picked up my first Nagant yesterday. Have been "Google'ing" about the rifle all day and came across this site. I'm excited to learn from the community and look forward to sharing my experiences.

Best,

I am new, too, to this site. They made me quit shooting my mosin nagant 91/30 tonight at the indoor range so I'm hoping to find out where to buy ammo I can shoot during the week at the range...neal45 wrote:I'm Neal aka nwellons. I was a member of the old forum and am glad to be back. Dolk has done a great job.
I've been collecting for about 4 years and have some interesting ones. Looking forward to being here.
Did a bunch more research, found out that it's actually a Izhevsk mosin. Given that the confirmation that it is a sniper on Izhevsk mosins is a serial stamp on the left side of the bore that matches the scope serial, I will have to inspect this rifle again.SgtSandman228 wrote:Howdy everyone. Actually looking at a nice 1940 Tula to purchase in the next few days and hopefully I'll be part of the ranks soon enough. Actually why I joined: had some markings on the receiver and had trouble finding the meaning. It's supposed to be a sniper, but the markings were not the usual "CN" mark typical of Tula snipers. Picture is attached if anyone here can help. Thanks!
Headspace check, you can do that yourself with the Okie headspace gauges. Otherwise a shim cut from beer can metal should tighten up that front sight. Welcome to the board.FineRedMist wrote:Hi there,
I just bought my first Mosin Nagant after several hours of poring over the five rows of rifles on display at my local Cabela's. None I could find seemed quite as nice as the 1931 hex receiver Izhevsk I took home. The numbers match except for the one on the magazine floor. (I'm interested to know how much of that assembly is non-original given the re-arsenaled number there.) My first task is to figure out how to strip and clean this thing including getting all the cosmoline out of it. Then I need to take it to a gunsmith and have them fix the front sight in place again. It moves on the little dovetail mount without sliding all the way off, and there's an index mark struck across the sight and the mount, I just don't know how the sight is secure in place. I'll talk to a pro about that, as well as checking headspace. Anything else I should be thinking about?
Thanks for having me!
