I think the chart is off on this one. According to Ratnik's book 164,546 Tulas were produced in '42 vs around 2,900,000 Izhevsk rifles that year.redspoon wrote:musketjon it looks like your 42 is a 2 on the 7.62x54r.net rarity chart. Could be higher iffen it has a couple of the more desirable marks/stamps.
Some say this chart is a little dated, but it will give you a rough idea. http://7.62x54r.net/MosinID/MosinRarity.htm

Re: 1941 Tula Mosin
Racer I agree it should be higher based on production numbers, also the old chart still shows the DDR triangle 1 mark which has now been debunked. What's your thoughts on the MO marked ones on the chart, seems like a ton of those have shown up in the last 5/6 years.-

Re: 1941 Tula Mosin
Definitely not as uncommon as before and I think it's related to a refurbishment honestly.

Re: 1941 Tula Mosin
I don't think you'll have trouble selling the 41 Tula.
I would love to have it, but funds are tight this time of year... Good Luck!

Re: 1941 Tula Mosin
Very cool and uncommon find. Most were built on a 41 Izhevsk receiver. Barrels came from Tula and most were '40 Tulas that had the last digit of the date overstamped with a "1" by Izhevsk. You can see this on your rifle. Faint "0" that appears scrubbed and the "1" clearly not a matching font of the first three digits. Not very many of these out there although Alex told me there are fairly high numbers of these in Europe.

Re: 1941 Tula Mosin
Curious as to where you got it? Did you order it online or was it a local gun shop or a show or a pawn shop? Where does somebody buy their first Mosin and it ends up being a 1941 Tula?
Re: 1941 Tula Mosin
I bought it from a local store, I just so happened to find it, not really knowing what I had. It was pure luck.

Yep...but does "Bought for an undisclosed amount,lol" = "too much"?
Not to me. Im happy, the seller is happy, and I'll probably never see another one so it found a new home...
