New gun

[easyrdr]

I just got a 1941 Mosin Nagant but the serial numbers is way low 2839 all matching but right before the number it looks like a up-side-down vu it is a m91/59 can anyone tell me more about this gun

[cj1964]

Serial numbers at that time were kind of like license plate numbers - two letters followed by (usually) up to four numerals. The pattern of progression is unknown so what you have may not be a low number after all. I believe the 91/59's retain their original serial numbers - not positive though.
I am positive that most 91/59's are in good shape and quite desirable these days. Post some pictures!

Just got it today just joined the group today and it is all new and not sure if I can tell I get approved

I love that smell too. Sorry I can not said that I was not there This is the first rifle and I think I picked a good one that all

If you bought a unmolested Mosin, I'd say you got a good one. If you bought a unmolested 91/59 I'd say you got a exceptional one. congrats and welcome to the forum.

looking for 8mm Mauser, 7.5 Swiss, and 7.62x54R brass

41 Izhevsk, Nice. I agree, nice grain on the stock... I hope it's just glare causing the shine on old Shellac.

Cool, the markings do indicate this is a 91/59.

I hope you are correct but it does look more like new poly than old shellac. Gotta love the 91/59s.

It's glare

The Guy a the gun shop I picked it up at said he give me $250 for it said he hates to see this one walk out the door

[Longcolt44]

I bet he would. At $250.00 he can add another $150.00 to it when he sells it.

$250 A regular refurb 91/30 is going for that. Nice looking gun.

First things first, a shotgun is a "gun", what you have is a rifle, rifles have grooves cut into the bore to increase accuracy, a gun uses a smooth tube and is intended for shot loads at shorter distance. For a 91/59 that is a very good price today, for any Mosin carbine that is a very good price. Matching numbers are common on these, but like the Mosin refurbs they are all force matched during the build. 91/59's were made from parts and barreled receivers borrowed from 91/30 long rifles and cut down to M38 size. Because they were rifle and not carbine M38 barrels the diameter of the barrel is a little thicker and this aids accuracy. The build quality is also a bit better than the ordinary Soviet refurb, the 91/59 is known for having better adjusted triggers, headspace is rarely if ever an issue ( but check it anyway) and the overall fit and finish is higher quality.

and so you remember it-

Brings back memories... This is exactly what happened when you called your rifle a gun... And there was always one shitbird that did it.
