Hey guys,

I want to buy a Mosin-Nagant rifle here in my country(Macedonia). And sadly there is only one on offer. The price is 250 euros it come with two stocks. The year is 1936 and it is a Tula I think based on my research. I will post some pictures too and I want you to tell me if it is worth buying, and please tell me if you have some more information about the rifle.

Please give me some advice, this is my first Mosin.

Best regards,
Grujovski Igor

Hello to all. Just found your great Website a few days ago while trying to ID my newly acquired 91/30.
I have never owned a Mosin Nagant before. I think I'm hooked!
I have definitely found a new hobby.

Welcome to the board, the other stock is probably the original military stock, the one on there is a new replacement used for sporting purposes. The rest of the rifle looks OK, bottom line is if it's the only one available then choice is not an issue, it's this or nothing. The price probably reflects the added cost of the new stock, I would have expected a higher price in a market were it's the only one of it's kind available.
Whoops, I failed to see that this rifle is not a 91/30, it is a 91/59, this is a carbine that was produced using cut down 91/30 actions and is known for it's accuracy and quality of build. These are hard to find here in the states and we had 1000's imported here. I have a 1936 Tula M91/59 myself, it's one of my best shooting Mosins, and definitely the best shooting Mosin carbine. The 91/59 was patterned after the M38 carbine, however because the barrel was for a 91/30 rifle it's slightly thicker than the M38 barrel. The price is in line with what this would bring here in the US, in fact it would probably go for more here. I would suggest grabbing it while you can. The reasons why the communists made these is still clouded in secrecy, nobody has yet come up with documented evidence as to who, where, or why, however there are many theory's.

Tim from Cincinnati here. Just bought my 6th Mosin today. Need to do some research. Hope you guys can help.

I just purchased a 1933 Mosin Nagant 91/30 Hex from my LGS. I didn't intend to purchase anything, but was quite accidently introduced to them & brought one home. I was very intrigued from the discussion w/ the staff. I found 3 serial numbers, one on the bayonet, bolt, & receiver. All three are the numbers "916".

I'm going to educate myself well prior to a date at the range.

Welcome to the board , don't read too much into the serial numbers, they were deliberately swapped around to confuse the enemy as to production totals, . The 10,000th rifle made that year could have been numbered 916.

Hi everyone. First time poster, long time lurker of the board. I got into collecting mosins earlier this year and now have 6 of them (soon to be seven this week). Anyways I'm looking forward to seeing some of the less common rifles that pop up from time to time.
