1932 Mosin Nagant decoding help

[willzilla]

Yesterday I had a 1932 Mosin Nagant delivered to my door (loving the C&r FFL). It seems to be in fantastic shape overall with matching numbers. I do have some questions on decoding it though.

It appears to be a 32 Izhevsk but a Tula star stamp I believe is what is on that bolt carrier group.

Also confused on the date.. It days 1932 and then what looks like a squarish letter C at the end of the date?

I also see no symbol above the serial number like what I thought was on Izhevsk Mosins?

Here are a large number of pix of my new rifle :-)...

It's a 1932 Izhevsk. The Г after that is a Russian letter abbreviation for year. Mismatched parts are common on refurbished rifles. Welcome to the Forum

Very nice Mosin Nagant. Hopefully it will be a great shooter.

Awesome, thank you for the info! That's what I thought and the r looking letter threw me off because of the little dash under it :-D

But yep, should be a great shooter which is what I got it for... Lots of shooting! Have some milsurp ammo and new manufactured ammo both on the way to my door, can't wait to shoot.

I wonder where it fought the war at? That is what always facinates me about them......history . This one along with most Mosins have a great history.

My very first Mosin was a 1937 Tula M91/30 and I paid $59 for it........How much are they worth now? Give then 10 years and ask again.

Nice looking rifle.

You got a nice one. So you say you are enjoying the C&R? It is nice to have it sent to your doorstep for sure.

[Longcolt44]

You did good. My favorite shooter is my 1937 Tula also.

[willzilla]

Thanks all. And yeah.. The C&R Def makes things easy and saves money on not having to pay transfer fees and the like.

My first purchase was a 52 Romanian Tokarev TTC that I then put Tokagypt grips on:

Tokarov is a fine weapon, congrats! Now the real reason I posted! What did you take the picture of the Tokarov on? That wood while showing scratches and wear is really nice so I just had to ask? Bill

That '32 is a honey bun! Enjoy it!

I have a Romanian Tokarev as well. A 1956 model I got from Widener's. When they said almost mint, they weren't kidding. I've got a picture somewhere of it fresh out of the box.

Thank you! I plan on it. Just checked and it's not counterbored so that's a plus. Rifling looks strong entire length of the barrel too.

Welcome Nice 32 Izhevsk

The cocking piece is tula. Thats pretty common for parts and pieces to be swapped around during refurb.

[willzilla]

I noticed after cleaning up the mosin some minor exterior barrel pitting. Is there a simple way to treat this so it won't get worse or repair it?

Get all of the existing corrosion out and then keep it well oiled.

nice rifle, miss matched parts are very common
