Hello all,
I'm new here and I'm getting into mosins and they are still some of the most common... Yet least understood milsurps as there is so many.

Hi,
Looking to purchase my first Mosin in the Spring when things calm down.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, particularly any "never dos" and "always dos" you can think of.
Right now I am thinking about an M 38 and/or and M 44
Thanks
John

Greetings from Texas.
Not new to guns, just to bolt action Soviet ones. I picked up a M44 and just curious if ALL Mosins kick like this one does? I don’t know if it is just the cut of the stock or what, but I have shot SMLE’s, 1903A3; 1917 Enfield, Type 99 Arisakas, Remington Rolling block in 50/70 gov and 375HH magnum and others but have never contemplated selling a gun after first trip to range with it.
If anybody has any recommendations on a “light load” for it, I do reload and will definitely give the girl another chance. I am hoping the M91’s won’t kick as bad since there is a little more wood and steel in the gun but wanted to hear some experienced feedback first.
Thanks for y’all’s input.

After the first few thousand rounds shot out of the M44 your shoulder will limber up and you won't notice this " kick " thing at all. The Mauser G33-40, and Persian M30 are close to the 7.62x54r, but are both lighter, and shorter in barrel. I shot thousands of rounds out of the M30, and even more from the Mosin M38, M44, and M91/59, you get used to it. Welcome to the board. Details on that Remington ROller, it sounds like maybe a NYS guard rifle with that 50/70. I have the carbine version of that.Lowkeyed wrote: ↑Mon Nov 30, 2020 5:46 pm Greetings from Texas.

Re: New Members, Make your first post here!
Hello everyone,
I'm Jerry and I stumbled onto the site "by accident" during a search on PU scopes..... So I decided to join since I'm heavily into WW2 "stuff".
Amongst other things I do own a '44 (Izhevsk) Mosin-Nagant PU sniper which I love to shoot! Also have things like a '66 Yugo SKS (my "plinker"), a '43 P-38, '44 M1 Garand, a '37 and a '44 Kar98k. I love WW2 10th Mountain Division stuff and 100th Infantry Division "Sons of Bitche" items (since I used to go to that area a lot while I was stationed in Germany, I "adopted" them).... Anyway, happy to be here!

Hey everyone, I've been lurking for a while, and finally decided to go ahead and create an account! Most interested in m38's, Finn'd mosins, and Ex-snipers
Re: New Members, Make your first post here!
Just got interested in Finn M39, havnt got one yet but am looking. Is a vkt a Tikka barrel?
Re: New Members, Make your first post here!
Hi. Im new to the forum because I'm new to the world of Mosin Nagants. I recently p[purchased two Mosins off of a friend of mine. On e is an 1916 dated 1891 model, with the barrel showing Sestroryetsk. The second is a Izhevsk 1944 dated M38. I hope to post pictures of them in the near future.
I do have a question. My 1891 Mosin does not have any sling swivels (either on the barrel bands or front of the magazine or through any stock cuts), nor does it have any cutouts in the stock for a standard sling. Is this common? How would such a rifle be transported for battle/use? Does it mean anything with respect to which model it may be?
Thank you. Im looking to learn!!!

We are going to need pictures of that 1916 to help you out. Just post them to the main Mosin forum.
