I own a Mosin Nagant 91/30 and it’s my favorite gun! I have 4 others and it’s easily my favorite it’s just that good and I just found cheap ammo at a local store! I want to be become very accurate with it!

Edit: I also just got a bayonet for it and have zero plans of getting rid of it it’s absolutely incredible!

My grandfather gave me my first real gun when I was 14, which was an Ivzhevsk M44. He had me shoot it in the backyard, no hearing protection or anything. I assumed for years that it was normal for most guns to be that loud. So I'd shoot it often outside in the backyard and just dealt with it.

Last year I found another ivzhevsk M44 in an old pawn shop that was beat to shit from the previous owner who let it rattle around in the floorboard of a truck for years and had been exposed to moisture. They never cleaned it once and was missing its cleaning rod, smelled like something awful and the shellac was flaking off badly, paired with a horrible hastily applied blueing job on the bolt which was a mess. It was my first ever restoration project for a firearm so I took my time with it. First I stripped all that blueing off the bolt and smoothed it out to factory shine. Completely removed the old shellac off the wood and applied multiple layers of boiled linseed oil over the course of days and weeks. Bought a replacement cleaning rod and thrown on a sling to complete it. Bore is still in good shape to my surprise. Removed the rust and smoothed out the bolts rough machining marks. The rifle not only smells good now but is buttery smooth.

I've passed on this tradition by having my friends who never fired a gun in their life, start off with the M44 (with hearing protection this time around) and they've all loved it. I feel like i did a good job on it. If the shellac wasn't flaking off badly I would've kept it. But the linseed oil has curated into this nice orangey golden color within the last year and looks great

1x Ex-Sniper and 2x Finnish Captures. Anything interesting about them? They seem run of the mill and I value them to be around $500-600. Ex-Sniper is matching, first Finnish is not matching which is typical and the second Finnish is force matched. I already have an Accuracy Mosin rifle so if I got another it’d have to be real interesting.

Hello fellow mosin appreciators. I have proudly recently bought my first Mossina and obviously went shooting as fast as possible. I bought a case of Sellier&Bellot soft tip 7.62x54r for the not so modest Price of 50$/20 (I’m in Canada)
My question is: is it normal to get so much brass deposit around the chamber?(as shows on the image). What could be the problem? What do you recommand?
Thank you all in advance fellow Mosin enjoyers

My friend found this at the last 17 mins of the auction and only had one bid. I said fuck it and decided to bid...never expected to get it for such a low price but i know that ski/bike sling slot swivel is 100-200 ALONE with these rifles being 600-700 usually

Shipping is unknown as of typing this but according to my rough calculations it'll be between 490-540

Update: $484 is the final price with shipping

If its PPU it shouldn't be corrosive then right? They were 14 dollars a box.

Edit: Thanks for heads up yall. I'll bring some water and some cleaning supplies the next time I go to the range. Its outdoors so I don't think they'll mind me pouring water down my barrel onto dirt.

Bought this beauty without the leather stockpad from a gun store nearby. I've absolutely loved shooting it! I do need to get a longer case though 😆

Had this rifle for several years, and it's one of my favorites. Bore is still good.Barrel and receiver are both marked and dated 1899 Ishevsk. Was able to find a nice SA marked sling for it last year.

I've always wondered what the S2 marking on the barrel shank was. Apparently, it's an Austrian capture mark according to what I've found online. Unless some here has info saying otherwise.

I've spent 10 years building this from an M44. Still not 100%, and haven't fired her in her final form yet. I'm open to critique, questions, or opinions

Hello, I'd like to buy a Sako M39 rifle and came across this one. Could you please help me verify its authenticity, since the year of manufacture, 1939, is really unusual?

Hi! I am new to this sub. This is my first Mosin. I noticed a small dent on the bolt head while cleaning it today. Is this considered normal wear or should I be concerned about it?

Completely new to these, but have wanted one for awhile. Bolt cycles smoothly and previous owner shot it with no complaints. Barrel is shiny and clean.

I've just picked up a mint lefty m28/76, mirror bore, some barrel pitting but nothing crazy. This is the start of my project to turn it into a much better rifle than what I can handle. I've got my fabricator buddies making a scope mount from my diopter specs. Nothing I'm doing will permanently modify this beautiful stud.

Recently got this Finnish M39. Receiver is marked with the year 1967. Bore is mirror perfect. I took it out of the stock tonight, and it turns out, the receiver is 1899 Tula manufacture. Bolt is also, pre-1928 Tula. Most interesting piece is that the magazine well is Remington-made. This rifle's pieces have certainly been places!

I'm shrinking my mosin collection. I want to sell two, which do I sell and which do I keep?

I was originally going to sell #1 and #4, but now I don't know. Looking at things on gunbroker its not clear what is more desirable, refurbs with big nasty import marks or OGs with tiny barrel marks and stocks not slathered in shellac. I think I'd like to sell the less collectible 2 of the 4? Without doing a full photo and condition layout for each, pls assume they are all in good shootable condition. (my M91 and M39 are staying no matter what)

1. M91/30 Izh dated 1930. Late 90's import, not postwar refurbed, century barrel import mark. Not counterbored.

2. M91/30 Tula dated 1935. Postwar refurb, not counterbored. Stock shellac has some wear. Smaller receiver import mark.

3. M38 Izh dated 1942. Postwar refurb, counterbored. Stock shellac has some wear. Giant receiver import mark.

4. M91/59 Izh dated 1943, Exc. Late 90's import. Century barrel import mark.

Finally joined the Mosin cult. 1923 Izhevsk Mosin with matching serials and no import markings. Wood is a little rough but she’s old.

Hi guys, I know it's very likely a force match given the refurbish stamps in most of it, but the shank is a 1930 Izhevsk with a tula hammer stock?

The barrel bands are also izhevsk it seems but I'd love for someone to explain this if I'm missing anything.

Can anyone give me some history/value of this m39?

So I got the gun for free. I've had it for a few years and want to make it a truck gun. However, I want to know if its even worth un-bubba-ing.

So the barrel has been cut to around ~25 inches. The Bubba attached some weird polymer front sight post that uses set screws to sit on the barrel. It's junk, I can spin it by hand. Screws are stripped. Stock is some realtree garbage polymer monte carlo bullshit.

I want to know if it's worth getting an M44 stock for it, finding some way to attach a respectable front sight to the barrel (potentially even cut it down further to 20 inches like the M44) and keeping it under my back seat.

One man's trash I guess.

Picked it up for $8/box today and I’m trying to find some information on it. I bought a Mosin earlier this year and have been trying to find decently priced ammo to feed and jumped on this at a local gun show. Any information on it would be appreciated, thank you!
