The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

And one more question - Is it hard to find an Izhevsk pu stock online? Is it worth finding one and replace the current Tula stock? Will it be really helpful from the value perspective when I sell it in the future? Even if you found one, due to dimensional variations in manufacturing the PUs, the ch...

I can see the import marks which are the best indicator of the rifle. I would love to see the import marks (probably on the right side of the barrel shank or under the top hand guard. It looks to be a Tulsky import https://russian-mosin-nagant-forum.com/knowledgebase/sniper_exports.html Swapping par...

OMG.......4.8! :chuckles: We have 4 to 5's here all the time. Our last big one was Loma Prieta at 6.9..... 1400 times stronger then a 4.8. The worse part of that one is it lasted so damn long.

H380 is good when the weather is not too cold, I had ignition issues with it in below freezing conditions.

I love old farm gas engines.
