The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Does anyone know where I can get an original M91 sling? I have everything else including the bayonet with sheath. All I need to finish it is a sling and I really want to get one that's 100 yrs old or close to it...

Thanks, those are some good articles. I thought the cosmolene was a good grease and would be ok to leave some in the nooks and crannies. I guess not... I'll give it a better cleaning since I have it apart and check the head space. Thanks for the info...!

I did turn them to the right, but I didn't know that they spread the band. I thought they just loosened like any other. Good to know, thanks...

Yeah, the screws just twisted right off. They were so corroded in between the band that they were about half the size of a pencil lead...! I'm glad I did it, they could have snapped when I was shooting and really thrown the barrel in my face... :shock: The new bands I ordered come with the screws an...

That's nice to know if I ever need another one. This rifle is amazing. There's no mechanisms just a piece of spring steel for the trigger. The rest of the trigger mechanism is on the bolt. Really simple but very functional. I'm really glad I got one...

So after doing some research I figured it out. For the old style Mosin you take the front Barrel band off and loosen the rear Barrel band. there's a couple of tabs that the band's hold. And that upper handguard comes right off it's pretty delicate though. I heard that it's the most delicate part on ...

Oh yeah, duh...! LOL I'm still getting use to being on a forum... Here's a couple showing the bands and the pins. It looks like they don't come out because they're flush with the hand guard like as if they were filed down or something. You definitely can't feel them very much. They were put in nicel...

Does anyone know if it's wise to remove the upper hand guard? I would like to disassemble the rifle and give it a thorough cleaning and grease but I don't know how to get off the barrel rings. This one has pins in the hand guard and I don't know it I need to take them out or even how. I don't want t...

@ Junk Yard Dog...LOL...! that's funny but good info thanks. You really have some good knowledge of the Mosin, that rocks... @Millman...The other one was hard to unlatch all the way after you fire a round. It was coming up to the first release point than you had to REALLY mean it to release it the r...

Hey, I just got another bolt for my Mosin. It came all covered in grease, I was told that's a good thing. Anyway, I was wondering what year it was. I got it from Numrich and it's clearly authentic and works better than the other bolt. It has a number but also an "02" stamped on the side. I...

Tell your friend it is a Mosin or a Mosin Nagant. Not a "Nagant". A "Nagant is a Russian revolver. Nice Mosin for a first rifle! Dolk He didn't tell me he had a "Nagant" that's just what I said in the post. Although, he does have a Nagant revolver like you say...I didn't kn...

That's all awesome info, Thanks...! I was telling my friend that the other day. How that there might be teeth marks or blood or something on the stock from fighting. Never know. But for sure, I am not going to do anything to it except keep it clean and oiled. And actively shoot it of course. I just ...

Cool, I'll let him know...

Thanks...

So the friend that got me into these sent me a pictures of one of his. I couldn't find the stamp on any other info page. Does anyone know the origin of this one?

Oh, copy that...!

Thanks all, my post was supposed to say "I'm NOT real good at forum stuff". Anyway, that's some really cool info! I shot it yesterday 6-3-19, it was awesome...! Yeah I heard about the corrosive ammo so I bought some modern ammo but I still cleaned it well. I just got in to reloading so I'l...

So, a friend at work was talking guns and said he had a Nagant... I asked what it was and within a few weeks I bought my first...! :D I found out that it's a 1917 Tula and was imported here by C.I.A. (Century International Arms, Inc.). I paid $365 total including tax and transfer. I thought that was...
