The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

I cant help myself sometimes. I know I know I should only buy pristine un-refurbed non-import marked Mosins. But I cant help bringing home the poor mistreated Mosins. I bought this 1939 Finn Capture yesterday at a gun show. It was cheap and I dont have an [SA] so I bought it. The bore is beautiful e...

Thanks millman! So was the opening of the throat done by the Finns or was it done in an earlier refurb?

I picked up an M39 and this is the marking on the tang...Is the 1 just missing? The date below the serial is 1941 but The Finns mixed parts didnt they? tang.jpg I also picked up a Finn capture. The PP's I understand but anyone know about the 'D' above the PP's and the '3' above the crest? Thanks in ...

Is this screw convex? Its hard to tell from the pics...

Nice! I'll make a note as I'm guessing sooner or later I'll have to reload when I finally get my sniper. Nice groups! Dont forget to add that rig to your sig....

What are the particulars of the rig you were shooting?

"I guess A legal project could be to arm a well regulated militia to insure the sovereignty of a free state"


...is that still legal?

Wow, this post is five hours old and nooo responses. That says a lot. You will get plenty of opinions about the different 'no drill' options but if you read the posts here and all over the web you will find that some of the 'no drill' options fall into the 'suck' category you are trying to avoid. Th...

Rguns has snipers? They arent showing them on the site...

My first question to your buddy would be when he bought it did they say it was legit or did they say it had a new scope or mount? If you could post pics here these guys could sniff out a fake in minutes! The screws on the scope knobs should not be flat, the pins should be short, the serial number sh...

I guess they are not as rare as I thought they were. Still, I think they are pretty cool on a rifle. Anything unique is cool by me... 8-) Oh and I need to clarify something. That one is not mine...I bid on it but didnt get it... :cry: ...I posted here to get an idea about rarity to sway me to bid mo...

Exactly what I was hoping to hear. Its amazing that the ones talking negatively about counter boring dont come out and defend their position when the question is asked out right like it was here...thanks gents!! :thumbsup: When I started pouring over all the auction websites reading ads there were m...

I have heard both sides of the counter boring debate and wanted to get the general consensus on the topic. I understand that the measure is taken to improve the accuracy of a bore that may have experienced damage. Some say that it doesnt affect the value yet many sellers tout, "not counter bore...

...did anyone ever think you'd be checking the obituaries for cheap mosins?

Ok, I started collecting mosins about six months ago. Arguably the worst time in the history of mosins for pricing. This shortage may or may not be a hyped up thing brought upon us by the folks who love to sell crates of mosins. But lets assume its real. There has been conversation about whether or ...

I passed up two at a recent gun show for almost the same reasons...and these were only 600 each.

IMHO pretty big gamble buying all those mini crates at $150 a rifle...

I absolutely could call them. But thats like calling a used car dealer with 18 cars on his lot and asking him to tell me what year they all are, what the mileage is, what options they have, etc. :shock: Seems like a better solution is for them to do as many other sites, like Mosincrate does for exam...
