My first Mosin...

Veery nice, good find !

I need to find a good Polish one, and a Romanian, and... but I need to refinish some floors, fix some plumbing, etc on the new house first. I should get off GB for a while

The Hungarian arrived today. Already have the original rear sight back on it. I figured it was a mismatched gun and it is confirmed. The mag plate and receiver match but the bolt and stock shoulder plate have their own unique numbers. All good, will be a fine shooter.

The pair of them together...

They were refurbished in Romania, my Hungarian has a Polish stock, Romanian magazine, and every other part is Hungarian 02 stamped. They matched the numbers with an electropencil and didn't even bother to scrub off the old numbers.

No electro pen marks on mine. All parts are 02 marked. The receiver, mag, and bolt all start with a B but the shoulder stock plate starts with an A if that means anything.

It sure does. It means it is American and not for Canada. Send it right over the border and I will take charge of it.

Hahaha. I'm sure they just mispelled "Eh".... very much Canadian. The B is for "You aren't eh boot to get it."

[Rangerflip]

Nice score.

Eh joost way noot? ...

1947 Russian Izhevsk M44 bump... slowly building. This one is all matching, and was $200 and came with 15 rounds haha. I think not a bad price. The craziest part was I found it on a forum where it had been for sale since last September.

Of course it was for sale since last year, the moment my two year search for that year M44 ended they started coming out of the woodwork everywhere. Good deal

Nice rifles. I haven't seen many of these carbines for sale up here, but Brian might know better?

Still north of the border haha. Although I'm sure that might not stop you.

I've acquired all 3 of mine via various Canadian forums in the last 3 months. They are out there. I'm hoping Westrifle brings in theirs soon. Hoping for a M38 out of that bunch, and a Tula M44 if I'm lucky.

Of course, the Norinco/EMEI Type 97 that just got approved will be hitting shelves around August.

For any of you Americans that didn't yet realize you were missing out.... hehehe

Enjoy those pinned mags and 5 shots Fence!

Enjoy those pinned mags and 5 shots Fence!

Ten shots. Ten. Don't tease, you almost had the same fate as us. Keep the fight up.

Mags designed and originally built as rifle mags are limited to 5.

Mags designed and originally built as pistol mags are limited to 10.

Mags designed and built to work in both are limited to 5.

Mags built for pistols, but just happen to fit into rifles by dumb luck, chance or otherwise are still good to go with 10 rounds.

Take a Glock 40 cal mag, pinned to ten. Built originally for 40 cal, but wait, fits 13 rounds of 9mm??? Yup, that is legal too as the mag was built for 9mm and is pinned to 10 9mm rounds.

Enter the LAR-15 pistol mags. Or the Robinson Arms XCR pistol mags.



Fits ten rounds, and fits any STANAG rifle just by chance. Go figure, ten round pistol mags that work in rifles, and have been confirmed by the Mounties as legal.

Now don't even get me started on how many rounds will fit in a Beowulf 50 cal made mag pinned to 5 rounds of 50 Beowulf. Lets just say, more than ten.

Don't make the rules, wish they were better, but there are legal ways here. The Type 97 coming to us takes any stanag mag, rifle or pistol.


ANYWAYS.............. I may have a Chinese Type 53 Carbine on the horizon, from Canada. Reports are it is missing a bayonet and is about as pretty as what is in the US. Will see how the hunt progresses. May take a couple of weeks.

All of these crazy laws.

So I take it you are saying it's going to look like it was rode hard and put away wet?

Great looking rifle. Congrats
