New Mosin

Post by Packwolf445 »

I just bought a Mosin Nagant, as of yesterday, and I want to know what production it's from, I know there are several kinds, but I dont know which one it is. All the serials match (minus the bayonet), and the serial is АГ6300, made in 1939.

Do you mean which arsenal manufactured it? The arrow in triangle indicates it was Izhevsk.

Izhevsk, but unless you show pictures of the entire rifle I can't tell if it's M91/30 or M38 carbine.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Non matching bayonet, so likely a 91/30. The folding bayonet wasn't SN was it? No, not the folding bayonet, and the M38 had no bayonet.

Probably a 91/30 unless someone has come up with a way to put a bayonet on an M38. Remember that the sight base on the M38 won’t fit the slot in the base of the bayonet. I’ve never seen a SN on an M44 bayonet and don’t expect to, considering that the bayonet was considered to be integral to the rifle. Only ones that would be expected to be missing the bayonet would be the ones that came in during the Assault Weapons Ban period.

How many meter are the sights on your '39 ? 2000 ?
