Love the wear on the Tula. When the blue starts to go, the history pokes through.

Thanks finloq, that one has a bit of history!

I've got one....a 1931 Tula.

It's an early import, very descreet import mark (CAI) on the barrel.

Side plate S/N matches the body SN in font. Many Tula hammer parts and the wooden grips are also numbered to match. Cylinder has been replaced and renumbered.





I bought six 50-round boxes of Privi ammo when it was available as well as 10 boxes of the Mil-Surp ammo. I shoot the commercial stuff mostly but every once in a while fire off 7 or 14 mil-surp rounds. Big difference in punch. The commercial stuff feels like firing a .22

I have no issue with the trigger pull. Feels fine to me.

Here's one of my refurb's that I posted up awhile back on another forum, It's a little older than the other two above.

It's not: how long it served?
It's: who it served with.

All very nice old relics and a great piece of history. Isn't it interesting how many other old guns just are so scarce, yet these have been socked away and made their way into the US in decent quantity. It's the FINN marked ones that I didn't even consider until seeing these. Yep very nice old relics.

The more I look at these Revolvers the more I want one

you guys are posting some great history ! Thanks

I've got two "RSFSR" marked Nagants.
The 1921 has the cyrillic "R" (P) and lined box which are both refurbishment marks. The 1924 has no such markings, but is just as nice in appearance. I bought both from a single shipment at a gun store. Since the Russian constitution was signed on Jan. 31, 1924 I'm assuming the 1924 "RSFSR" is a rare combination...? That gun also has a three digit serial number! Both have matching cylinder numbers. I haven't tried to shoot either of them - they just seemed to be good items to add to my collection. I'm not sure if they are any more valuable than "Soviet" or "Tsarist" marked guns, but I thought they had a little more character.

I have one. It was fun to shoot but I don't see me buying much ammo for it.

Nice on the 20s ones, but damn those import marks.

I've got one coming my way in the mail. Non-import marked Tula. Is the little pouch attached to the holster supposed to hold the screwdriver or is it an ammo pouch?

Non import non refurb

Mine seems to be older than most that I've seen. Stamped 1914, but most of the arsenal stamp has been scrubbed off. Damn Commies....
Found it on a "bargain table" at a local gun show, for $75. Wasn't even looking for one but figured, why not.
Didn't realize it was a 7-shot until I got it home.....
Have run some commercial ammo through it, but just got a couple hundred rounds of actual surplus, can't wait to try it.

The communists didn't scrub that revolver, time and use did that. Nice one

That is a one

Damn shame about the import "Bill-Boards" but I understand why hey have to be there.

Since I don't run in Donald's circles, and I cant pull a 14 pound trigger, I sent it away. It is one of the few guns I have ever gotten shed of that I didn't regret afterwords.

That said, I have been looking at them again lately and almost bid on one on GB this week.

I had to get one to go with the military historic handgun collection, that said mine shoots about three feet to the left and the Serbian commercial ammo I bought for it is about an anemic caliber as can be found.
