The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

i just purchaced a new mosin nagant from my local pawn shop. it is a 1939 izy with a hardwood stock. but it has a wrist reinforcement screw in the stock located just behind the trigger. i can not find any info on this configuration.

what i have found is that the m38 m44 and the laminated m91/30 can have this screw/blot but not in the hardwood stock

any new info will help greatly

There are some around that have those, i have seen a few. There seems to be no rhyme or reason for it but that is just part of the fun. Welcome

Dolk just curious how much did u pay for ur mosin with the extra cross bolt

While REALLY new to all this, I have not seen a second bolt on non-laminated stocks. This looks (to me anyway) to be a WW II stock.

Mosins with screw on escutcheons are pre-war. Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason to what the Russians did. with their firearms or their politics.

Sorry, I ment to say PRE-WW II. The screw in's are the give-a-way........My Bad.

Unless those stocks are on refurbs! Then you can just about throw away the book on them because they become reused stocks from an older vintage and their history is totally blotted by timely unknown change. Most of what we state on here is sketchy in nature and really in the form of an educated guess. I have seen through bolts on so many different vintage rifles now that nothing seems to throw me anymore and becomes just part of the Mosin forest. Bill

You never know what these weapons will throw at you

Hey Dolk! What has happened when I see a" This is a Free Zone" like the one before this . I looked up the definition of Spam and found pages of info to complicated and long for me.But some of my messages are just that"complicated and long" so I would like to know if I"m breaking the rules without knowing it. Thanks JGC
