I’m fairly new to mosins in general but I’ve been collecting surplus for a couple years now. I was looking to come on here to ask for help with mosin.
Re: New Members, Make your first post here!
Get yourself a book or 2 , It helps.... You can a ways go in a corner out of sight or out side an be able to look up what you may have found. may not be a total answer but It helps with the stranger things Books The Mosin Nagant collector, is good A Finn book may help also.
Chris And ask Questions!!!

Hello everyone, quick question, is there a Military Surplus Import Ban on Russia/world guns into America?
Re: US Westinghouse Moisin
I have a M91 Handguard for sale.medeacor wrote:Hi - Newbie here - have done a search of forums but not sure I found the answer I needed
Have a Westinghouse Moisin but there is no handguard - barrel bands look to have been touching the barrel underneath the bands for many years as the area underneath the bands is fairly bright - and don't see how there could be any room for a handguard to fit underneath and be retaining by the barrel bands (front and rear)
One source has said that ALL US made Moisins did have handguards - but have found plenty of images of US made that have no handguards - if it was in fact supposed to have a handguard and that source was correct then I need to try and find one but guess the barrel bands would be different as well
Thanks for your help!

Hi there, finally I decided to join the forum after being a guest reader for years. I have a few Soviet and a couple Finnish Mosins, hoping to get more in the future.

Howdy from South Texas.
I have a Russian Mosin-Nagant 91/30 that I picked up back around 1981 while I was in the army at Ft. Hood.
I bought it from a guy I knew because I wanted it to go with my WWII German Kar98k. It looked nice and it shoots.
However, it's mostly been a safe queen since I bought it.
I have taken it to the range a few times and cleaned it, but that's about it.
I have never been too impressed with it's accuracy, hopefully I can work on that.
I spent time today looking over the site and learning what I could about my rifle, trying to determine what I have.
Basically, I've learned that it appears to be in an original configuration, but it's about the most frankengun there probably is.
I cannot find any numbers on this rifle that match or any import marks,
so I guess I will be posting up some pictures and asking for your thoughts.
Thanks in advance for your patience.

Hello everyone!
I just recently bought my first Mosin and I‘ve hoped maybe someone who knows their stuff could help me find out more about my rifle. So it has been built in 1927 in the soviet union, that‘s everything I‘ve been able to identify so far…….
The serial numbers are all matching (except for the bajonett) and all are stamped in, so no eletropenciling anywhere. So can I be certain that all are the original parts? Seems a bit unlikely, given the rifles age, but who knows.
Already been to the range with it (after a stripdown, deep clean and oil treatment of course), but sadly shoots hard to the left and high. A sight adjustment tool is already on it‘s way. But is there any way you can adjust the height of the front scope? Because the tool seems to only adjust the sides.
Also I‘m considering to maybe refurbish the wooden stock a bit, because the clear coat is coming off in many places and it leaves some brown stains on your hand, as you handle it. or would that „ruin“ the rifle in your opinion, please let me know what you think.
Thanks in advance for any replies and please excuse me for potential spelling or grammar mistakes, as english isn‘t my mother tongue.

That is a nice rifle. Please do not refinish it. That will destroy it's collector value. Try shooting it with the bayonet attached before you adjust on the sights. The soviets left the bayonets on most of the time, and the rifles were sighted with it on.KKAustria wrote: ↑Fri Aug 13, 2021 12:33 am Hello everyone!

Greetings all. New to the forum. Just purchased a 91/30 Tulsky sniper. Very nice condition. Should I put some rounds through it or leave it alone?
Re: New Members, Make your first post here!
Shoot it. Enjoy it.

Hi all! New here but have been lurking. I have a M39 VKT 1942 D barrel. Haven't shot it yet but looking to getting it out. Anybody have any ammo recommendations for it? I know the M39 prefer certain types of 7.62x54r.
