The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Back. Nice looking rifle all around. Came with all the accessories. http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r560/gurn1/mo006_zps5605152c.jpg http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r560/gurn1/mo001_zpsdd14c470.jpg http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r560/gurn1/mo004_zps4af98e10.jpg will try and get some nic...

ok, im off to get it. report back later

May be some armour just nic named all the guns he looked at MO

They are open till 9 so I may go grab it. Doing some research also. MO = Ministry of Defense from what I read

Why, because its an early date MO? Most of the ones that sold on GB went for about that or little more but they were all later dates. I wish I knew more about the MOs There is also a tempting 1891 Argintine for $199 mismatched but with nice stock and markings. Scrubbed reciever cleaning rod matches ...

I dont know much about these but I saw one in a batch of reg 91/30's at a shop priced at $189 . Should I go get it?

I have only named one of my guns, my Taurus Judge. I call it uh...... Judge

Doesn't surprise me of the strength of Mosins

My most valuable Albanian is a no date

Yeah real nice. I have the one that takes the AK mags but still need to get one of those. I almost had one from my gun shop but when they ran the numbers it came back as wanted in a homicide case in CA :big shock: The po po was there real soon to pick that one up along with the copy of the pre owner...

I can just see a bunch of Russians running towards me swinging Nagants by the lanyard

An all around cool Mosin! Original barrel too. I love the cr# 77771

Not yet at least.

I have heard some say to not shoot hot 8mm through these 1893's but think how many rounds of hot Turk 8mm has been safely shot through these. But make sure you do as the Boss says

For an 8mm semiautomatic I like my Hakims better. My FN49 is kinda finicky but the Hakims will eat anything. They are usually cheaper too and I like the removable mag.

Very nice solid looking first Mosin! Do you have a stash of ammo yet for it? Your going to want to get a case of Russian for it too. Just be sure to wash the salts out after every shoot.

That is an odd, disturbing way to put it.

You can say that again!

What kind of tokarev do ya have?

I wonder, Did we ever find out what the other FN in PA was? Some of the other verities can bring big bucks. If the bore is all rusty on the 8mm the gas system should be looked at too.
