The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

should I post this elsewhere?

I am going back to get another and will be reading all the valuable information on the site but can anyone help me identify some of the markings on this one?

Welcome to the forum. You should go here http://www.russian-mosin-nagant-forum.c ... um.php?f=5 and make a post about your rifle. You're not likely to get many responses here because this is mainly for first time posters to say hello and maybe tell a little about yourself. When you make your post you can use the IMG links from Photobucket and post the link directly in the post field and they'll show up on the forum instead of people having to click the links and go to Photobucket. If you have any trouble we'll help you out.

I've been into Mosins for about 15 years now, just shot my PU last month and got the disease going again. Looks like I'm gonna be broke and spending my free time on here now.

Well, the good part is....this forum is free (except for your time!) The rifles....not so much!

Just picked up a M1891 - crest missing but dated 1917. Hope I am off to a good start. Tula mfr. Have rectified the missing cleaning rod.

Good to know there is a forum for information on my 1943 M91/30.

Welcome to the board, we should have at least as much as is currently known about the 1943 M91/30 Izhevsk or Tula.

Hello, everyone! I'm very excited to find this forum as I have become very interested in the Mosin Nagant recently.

A couple weeks ago I took my son to a local gun show looking for a shotgun for my son and he found a Chinese Type 53 Mosin Nagant that he wanted and I got it and since then have been obsessed with learning about them.

I plan to reload for it also as I currently reload for my 9mm and .45 auto pistols but this will be my first rifle reloading experience. I'd want to avoid the cheap corrosive ammo and like the idea of developing a custom load for the gun and also looking for information on loads that are mild in recoil for my son to shoot. He's 13 and I'm sure he would like the recoil I experienced with it shooting factory Silver Bear steel cased ammo.

I have a video of my first (and so far only) session shooting the gun. I was maybe 25 yards from the target as I wasn't sure how accurate the thing was gonna be. You can't see the gun very well.

Thanks for approving me. I love these old rifles.

hello everyone my name is Eddie ive only been collecting a year but ive caught the disease quickly.

allan1: I just join this forum and wanted to say hi. I am not a collector but do own 2 Mosins. One was given to me after my father-in-law pasted away. While his boys got all his nice rifles, I got this weird short stocked Russian 7.62x54r cal. rifle. I had no idea what it was. About that same time my brother had just bought his first 91/30. After seeing his I realized I realized I had a 1937 Mosin Sportser with not one match series number. But it did belong to some one I admired and it does shoot. A few months latter my brother bought a M-44. I liked his carbine but not the bayonet. I was trying to find a nice M-38 when I found by accident a 91/59. This gun is near perfect and a great shooter. Still looking for more carbine but hard to find good deals.

Just joined thanks for having me. Only own 1 91/30 at the moment. 1936 Izhevsk. Been a great shooter till today. After about 15 rds thru her bolt is stuck OPEN Cant close it or remove it by pressing trigger. Anybody have any experience or solutions on this?

Hi there. Just picked up my first 2 MNs in the last two weeks. One is a 1943 Iz with a beat up stock from Cabelas and the other one is a hex receiver from Classic that I'll be receiving in the mail tomorrow. Fingers crossed its in good shape.

Welcome to the board, check the reloading forum on the board, there should be some information on light loads in there.
