Hi, there is a lot of interesting reading and I hope to learn more about the history of my Mosin.

[ScotH1]

Hi Folk's, Scott here & new to the Mosin world. I just recently came by this ole guy. From what I have read it looks to be Early WWII ( By the sling slots), 1944, Russian Izhevsk M91/30 by the marking. I am not sure what the recent stamps are for? All parts of the gun seem to have matching Ser.#'s. These are the only pic's I could upload, the other were to large. I will try to grab some more if need be.
Did I get a decent find? Or is it just a nice little keep sake?

Looks good to me, welcome to the madness.

Hello all! I shot a carbine variant in my youth. Recently acquired a nice (in my opinion) Mosin from a friend and was elated to find this forum. I took many pictures and will post for your enjoyment when I find the appropriate thread. Please forgive my big words.

Been away from C&R for awhile, mostly with black powder pistols and CCW. With stuff hard to get, I've decided to take out my old rifles and hit the range.

Hello from Montana
Do love the Mosin-Nagants! but really, all old military firearms. Collect US & Finn. A bit fruit for flare guns these days - ones used by the Finns
My first rifle purchased at 16 1972 was an Finnish M39 - shot a lot of mule deer and elk with it
regret more selling it, as I now think it came out of the Vietnam War.
bottom line - a pissed off old paratrooper
with the best wife on earth & three fine sons
and two good dogs and about 50x racing pigeons

Second part of my post..... three years later
sorry for honking only about my Finn Mosin-Nagants!
I do shoot & collect the Russian/Soviets! WW1 & WW2
Indeed my primary in scoped competition [a lot of this in MT, Covid be damned - esp with a 20mph wind ]
is a 1944 Ishevsk M91/30 with a PE scope - pretty sure it is all original, arsenal refiinished, maybe post-war scope, but Russian
main point, it puts rounds down range... I've never won the trophy plaque, but various & sundry prizes, mostly powder
Newest Russian Mosin-Nagant news [for me] ...I have a Korean War M38 US Army 187th ABN INF scout jeep
[1st jump was MBs, 2nd M38s if you know what airdrops does to vehicles] For car shows it has a basic load & weapons
I am going to put one trophy on board... debating .... a captured 1945 Ishevsk M44 oe 1944 Ishevsk M38... any comments on this?
so a couple pics of me & my M91/30 - shooting steel sihouettes
four dogs now

MN's are assuredly addicting!

[Ole Bob]

I just wanted to say hello to everyone. I have always had a great interest in the Mosin Nagant rifles.
I guess the history is what interests me most. The fact that they are still in use throughout the world is amazing.
Again Hello to All

New guy here! I have an M28 Tikka & SY marked MN produced somewhere btwn 1930-32 that has the "Swing Hangers" for attaching the sling. It looks as if the max width of the sling is one inch whereas most offered seem to be 1 1/2 inches wide. I was able to acquire the correct Civil Guard (a "Hackman") bayonet and really would like to do the same with the sling. If any of you pros out there now what I should be shopping for I'd appreciate your advice. I was able to find the Civil Guard "Hackman" bayonet and scabbard but still need the "frog". Forgive me if this is not the proper type of posting for this forum but from reading your post, y'all know A LOT about the details of MN's! Thanks

1942 Izhevsk owner since 2012 when the rifles were selling for $90. It's an interesting thing to own an old Russian rifle that may well have seen action against NAZI Germany during WW-II. I've put around 400 rounds of mil surp through it so far, most in the past year. Have maybe 740 rounds left.

I'm looking to improve accuracy. Will post my questions and thoughts on that to a separate thread.

[nagant_shooter]

I gott also so.
I have a try.

Hello, There is so much to learn about mosins. I am especially interested in Finnish 28-76 and 'sneak' 39 rifles. This is a very interesting forum.

[tomaustin]

to nagant shooter.....good looking rifle...............do you have a shooting range convenient for you ? better yet, do you have ammo ??? the members here appreciate a set of photos of the complete rifle---left, right, top, bottom, up close of all the markings.....pics came through nicely........Tom

C&R is still a good option! I'm not sure about your area but here you can still pick up the 7.62x54R spam cans for about $180.
