I tried this thread in the gun smithing forum, but thought Id try here too. I got my 91/59 yesterday. While disassembling this very greasy rifle, I found that the action screws were tight, but the magazine was loose. Turns out the threads in the rear magazine/trigger guard are crossed...

I got my 91/59 today. While disassembling this very greasy rifle, I found that the action screws were tight, but the magazine was loose. Turns out the threads in the rear magazine/trigger guard are crossed. Thankfully, the screws are usable. From what I can tell, the thread size is a 7mm x...

I don't know if this has been discussed already, but here goes. While cleaning up an newly purchased German /Yugo 98k, I found the sleeve that the rear sight attaches to is loose. With the set screw as tight as it will go there is about 3/32" side to side play. I'm thinking of soldering the...

I don't know how far east Big 5 stores go, but they have the 91/59 for $140 this week. They got me. Its fun to watch the store employees try to spot the differences between a 91/59 and an M38. What makes me :barf: is how much I could have saved if I had just got my C&R license from the get go...

A local shop has one. Its in 6.5x52. Fairly nice looking but I don't know its condition. They also have a MAS 36 for about the same price, maybe higher. Both are not too common around here. Trying to justify the Carcano, but I haven't even handled it yet. I would like to get a rifle from...

I don't know what the official use (if any) for the egg shaped opening on the mosin nagant combo tool is, but I found that it makes deploying and removing a tight fitting bayonet on a 91/30 a little easier. The wide end rests on the bit of the muzzle protruding past the bayonet while the narrow...

Greetings. Finally joined THR. I'll be picking up a Yugo captured 98k next week (98/48?). I'm not sure what parts are originally serial numbered, but all that are stamped appear to match. Since the visible German markings are scrubbed, are there any other locations with a date or factory...
