The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Came across this on the local classified. I took a drive to go get it yesterday, a littler farther than I normally would go but I wanted to stop at the Flight 93 memorial that was in the area. That was worth the drive in itself.
Firth one I have handled, I was surprised by how nicely done the refurb is. The rough wartime machining is cleaned off, the bore looks brand new, trigger is so smooth. I cant wait to get to the range with this one.

Anywho, the pics.

Nice, not every 1943 Izhevsk had the rough wartime finish, they may not have had to clean it.

I assume it was cleaned off because of the polishing marks on the receiver. The top of the receiver has a somewhat of a flat spot. Hard to see but you can feel it. The barrel wasn't polished because I can see the machining marks.

I don't think i've seen a bad one yet,they are usually in very good condition.
And that's a nice one,congrads.

Congratulations, nice looking Mosin. The 91/59 is something I have yet to add to my own collection.

Very nice Lee! I'm curious to hear how she shoots. Never seen a Mosin bolt handle that shiny before, great pics!

Lee, you lucky dog that's a nice one I too am still looking for my firth 91/59. That bolt knob reminds me of the baby moons I once had on a 56 ply. savoy.

Very nice!! Looks just like mine!

My first C&R rifle was a 91/59. I did not really know what it was. Congratulations... A great pick up. Nice pictures ... Thanks

Very nice! I still need to grab one of these.

Very nice 91/59

Very cool!

Nice find. My 91/59 is in the top 2 of shooters in my collection.

I haven't shot either one of mine. I need to shoot more and buy less. Ah hell what am I thinking I need to buy and just get out and shoot more.

Nice looking 59. They are some of the favorites in my bunch.

Sweet. My 59 is a great shooter too.

With the cold winter I haven't been shooting as much but still keep finding rifles. I now have a "few" I haven't shot and need to get them to the range.

I was looking at the 91/59 history and it looks like no one is sure of what these really are and who did them.

Congrats, a real nice one!

That's a beautiful carbine!
Mine is built on a 1937 Tula receiver. I'll NEVER part with it. (While I'm alive, anyway!) I posted pics on the old forum, I should do the same here.
