Bought this one at local pawn shop few years back, made from a 1907 Imperial Tula.

1914 small logo PTG converted to 91/38. Czech or Bulgarian stock, counterbored, and Austrian marked. I bought this one about two years ago. The auction had a very reasonable BIN, and another bidder was trying to win it cheap by bidding instead of buying. I paid the BIN price, which was actually quite cheap compared to what I've seen these sell for.

1893 Chatellerault 91/38 in a Russian m44 stock. Electropencilled bolt and rest of the numbers stamped matching. Built on a 1905 Izhevsk receiver. Bought from another board's for sale section. It pays to be scouring the internet for Mosins at 5am sometimes.

1894 Chatellerault 91/38 in a Russian m44 stock. Electropencilled bolt and stamped matching numbers. It has the Bayonet groove filled in with a piece of wood and the handguard has a very interesting toothpick repair.

I will post all four of mine. I think I have done a detailed separate post of each earlier here so I am posting this time as a group.

The first on is an 1892 Chatellerault, sent over in the first shipment of the French Contract. It is in a modified M91 stock with no crossbolt. The serial on the bolt is stamped and the big number is 4.

The second is an 1895 Sestroryetsk, in a modified M91 stock, an old one that had a finger rest. The serial on the bolt is ep'd and the big number is 5.

The third is an 1898 Tula in a M38 stock. The serial on the bolt is ep'd and the big number is 4. The M38 stock is unusual since it seems that all of the 91/38s originally had a folding bayonet like the M44.

The last is a 1900 Izhevsk in what we have been calling a Czech stock although the provenance may be more like Bulgaria but so little is know about who created these beauties and when. The serial on the bolt is ep'd and the big number is 4.

The photos show the guns in order, either top to bottom or left to right.

It looks like the top two photos can be enlarged if you click on them.

I had the good fortune to receive a 1936 Tula 1891/38, round receiver, from an older coworker. The serial numbers on the barrel, bolt, and buttplate match, markings on stock are a little worn and hard to see. Included with the deal was a reproduction PU scope (that was never mounted, and never will be on this rifle). I plan on keeping her in the most current shape; clean, rust free, and unmodified.

That is all for now, till I get some pictures.

1936? are you sure it's a 91/38 and not a 91/59 ?
Looking forward to seeing the pics.

My bad, I have a M91/30. I do apologize for the confusion I created. Now, you just can't teach this kind of stupidity. I am a natural born idiot!

Hello all! Glad I found this. I recently purchased my mosin and had a few questions. I’ve narrowed it down that it was manufactured in 1942 (Ishevsk), all serial numbers matching however it has a few markings im a little unsure of. I’ve attached a few photos, one will not upload, between the Soviet emblem and the manufacture date appears to be a U, maybe a C inside a square. Any ideas what that is? All help and input is appreciated!

Hi-Not a pro here, but this sub-forum is specifically for 91/38 carbines. Your rifle appears to be a 91/30 and this question probably would be more likely to be addressed if you moved it to the regular Collectible Mosin Nagant Forum. Without a photo of the markings in question it will be hard to answer though. Good luck.

I got my first today. It's built on a 1895 Ishevsk receiver. All numbers Cz matching, the bolt was electro penciled but is about worn clean. It has the smallest wrist I've seen on any Mosin, and is pinned where the bayonet was mounted. Nice bore with a little rounding on the lands. These were made what year?

so I recently bought this Mosin-Nagant at a pawn shop and I'm trying to figure out exactly what it is and where it comes from and there's all these different kinds of markings and dates stamped on the wall looks to be the barrel so someone could help me maybe figure it out I don't know it has Russian lettering on it I just I'm not exactly where it comes from.

If you could start a new thread with some pictures, I am sure we can help with an ID.
