The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

1936, a grim year for the Russians with all the purges, nice to see one that didn't get sent to Spain that year, very good choice. 1936 was the first year for round receiver at Izhevsk That's what I was thinking as well, a nice low serial number right when they switched to rounds would be a nice pi...
