The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Hi, I just joined up today. I have two rifles. A 1933 Izhevsk hex and a 1943 Izhevsk. What I like about my rifles is how accurate they really are and their history. If only they could talk.
I do reload for them.

Welcome to the board, the period 1933-1943 was a pretty grim time in Russian history. Stalin's purges, the war, it these rifles could talk you might now want to hear the tales they could tell. The type of stories that would repeat themselves in your dreams, not the nice kind of dreams. The '33 could be an ex dragoon, something for you to research on the board.

It sounds like you have a nice start. You have two, but nobody has just two for long. Hold on to your pocketbook, Mosins can be a wild ride.

Welcome!

Welcome! One more rifle than I started with, and now they're taking over the house!

Oh great! Another new buyer to compete with!!

Just kidding! Welcome. Post some 's of your mosins....we likey pics!

And either stop collecting mosins now or start looking for a bigger house!!
Thats what we call in my house Russian Wainscotting!

Welcome aboard. You came to the right place for information.

NLMOSIN love Wainscoting. Thanks for welcome!!
Have to confess, '43 Izhevsk has scope. That discuss not allowed here. I like it. Hits stuff@400 yds. Nuf said.
If anyone wants road trip, in Helena MT at a sporting goods store who's first name is Capitol, got a.crap load of old Mosins in. All cosmo'd, all hex. Every one I looked at was 1920's. They want 299.99/each.
Junk Yard Dog: Like the TR quote. Too bad he's not here today.
Thanks All,
