r/MosinNagant

Imperial Russian pocket watch awarded for excellent shooting and engraved to recipient. Key-wind and -set.

Got the next part for my build. From the looks of it, it’s a very close fit. Time to annoy the gunsmith!

Was browsing gunbroker per usual and came across this

Seller is labeling it as a “factory test gun”. To me it looks like bubba got ahold of it and fucked with it, especially the sights.

He’s asking $3900 for it btw

Hello,
I’m looking into buying my first Mosin 91/30 PU, and I’be found these two offers online, they are from gun stores in Italy, where I live, and I have the chance to go there and take a look in person.

This is the first one, listed at €1350

And this is the second, at €950

https://armeriadegradi.com/prodotto/mosin-nagant-sniper-91-30-calibro-7-62x54r/

A part from the €400 difference, which I don’t understand, what do you guys think? Do they look like original PUs to you? Why is the Izhevsk one €400 less than the Tula? The stock seems in slightly better condition in the Tula, but I don’t think it’s only that.
Also, if I go to inspect them in person, what should I look for, except for the obvious mechanics and bore conditions?

Pardon my ignorance, never bought a Mosin before. And thanks in advance.

I’m eyeing on a nice Finnish m28 on GB and noticed this. The hex action seems to be bulged at where the barrel is connected. I fed these pics to GPT and it says it’s not a real bulge but just some machine marks, which I don’t believe. What do you guys think? Could it be caused by over pressure while shooting 54r ammo?

Local posting has these up for sale. Jump on it or pass? Ive neve shot Albanian 7.62x54r, has me curious. Thanks

HQS Impact suppressor / mosin 91/59

My range neighbor is shooting 22lr

Picked up today for $275. Now I have something to pair with my Nagant revolver. Need to get a bayonet, sling and ammo now

Looking for some information, got this rifle from my buddy, action is beautifully smooth it looks great. The only problem is the rear leaf sight is a good bit high even at the 100 yard or meter mark whatever its dialed in. So at 100 yards i have to aim what looks like to my eyes about a foot below the target, target im shooting at is a sillohuette steel target roughly 8 inches across. That aim point is the same with silver tip spam can light ball Ruski surplus ammo, some Ruski surplus 7N1, tula steel case, PPU 180 grain soft tips and Bulgarian yellow tip heavy ball. Its a damn accurate rifle after i figured out i have to aim about a foot below the target. When i asked my dad about it he suggested to get a taller front sight post and i was coming here with this to see what everyone had to say, whether thats a good idea or not and where to aquire a good one that will last the life of the rifle. Thanks in advance

Got this as a trade, can anyone fill me in on it? I know the New England Westinghouse receivers aren't super common, but it also looks like a Finnish capture?

I can't see a factory code, unless 82 isn't a date and is the code. Thanks in advance for info.

left is 22lr finn mosin right is czech cz m21, i can clean up the markings if anyone cares

What else can you guys tell me about this civil guard m24? I believe the 48 is the serial number that the finnish army must have given to it, though with that being said it doesn't have a finnish army stamp. Has the German made bohler stahl stepped barrel and a srubbed receiver tang. Not sure what the number on the top of the receiver is, maybe the civil guard district number? Appears to have maybe someone's initials carved into the stock along with plenty of battle scars. Definitely a very interesting/cool piece, any info is much appreciated. Thanks.

I’m kidding (mostly) in all seriousness, are these rounds okay to shoot? And what would cause dents like this? Seems like half the rounds have them. TIA

Got a new mosin today and its a unique M44

Refurbed 1945 M44 from Izhevsk with a 1927 receiver. Picked it up for $400 with some cosmoline still inside of it.

Can take more photos of it later if needed

Hello everyone, the Mosin lover. Introducing one of my sniper Mosin for your discussion. It’s interesting to know your opinion on the originality of this rifle.

So today at the range I was landing some comical shots on target. (The normal holes are from my Lee Enfield) now from the look of the bore I can assume that most likely the bore is fucked, I have my Lee Enfield bore as the 4th photo which I am using as a reference point. But also I have heard that the mosin can be picky about the weight of the bullets? Do I need to get a new barrel?

The 5th photo is the ammunition used.
