mosin

I just picked up a Finnish Mosin M28, great shape except for the handguard. The handguard is cracked and broken, and the rear retaining band is missing. Does anyone know where to find one? I've been looking without any success outside of auction listings that ended 15 years ago (why those show...

I recently bought a surplus mosin that was caked in Cosmoline. I took it apart and removed all the Cosmoline and put it back together. However now when the safety is engaged I can still pull the trigger, it doesn’t fire/ do anything. And when the safety is off It fires like normal. I took it...

Hello everyone, So I've had a Mosin Nagant m91/30 for a while, and I have an AK that I picked up a few years back, and I just got an SKS. I love all three of em'... However, I really don't care for the rear sight on any of them for two main reasons: 1. They are hard to see. Even though I have...

Hello guys & gals. So... Just what title says. Any decent-quality rifles that can be found in .308 & 30-06 for around the Mosin price? $300-450? Bolt-action or semi-auto. I've heard Savage Axis 2s & T/C Compass & Ventures. If anyone could be more specific than Brands, & name models, that...

I own a Finnish Mosin M27 and the barrel bore is toast. The receiver is still good however. I have the opportunity to buy an M39 barrel (which would be an upgrade) but am wondering if fitting an M39 barrel to an M27 receiver is advisable. Threads are the same. I'm not worried about stock fit...

Well I know it’s a little late to post this. But I was business; anyways, I shot my M91/30 Mosin for Memorial Day. It’s a ‘40 Tula, I added some wrap I had leftover from my M70 that I added to it and plan on adding some wire wrap to the exposed parts of the HG. Plan on putting brass tacks to...

Hi all, long time no post. So my wife and I started the tradition of buying each of our children a Mosin around the time they’re born to give to them later on. Of course this started when they were still $100-$125 a piece. We are expecting our third child (boy number two) in Sept and despite the...

I recently purchased a Chinese mosin m53 from a local gun show and I am having trouble clambering a round. If I try to close the bolt it will not go down even if it's in the correct place in the receiver when I extract the round there are large scrapes down the side of the casing twards the...

So, I have this M44 that I bought a couple years ago. Thought it was just another rifle. Turns out after some research, that the M44 M91/59s are rare. This one was made in Izhevsk. The rifle is in great shape! Was still covered in cosmoline in the bolt when I bought it. Has no rust anywhere. The...

I've been looking around for a reasonably priced (~$100) finishing reamer for 7.62.x54R. Most places I've found seem to be out of stock and on back order. The only one I found in stock is at Brownell's was $142 + s/h. Anyone know of a source that has them in stock?

I acquired this Finish M91. It has been de-milled. Three holes drilled in the barrel, bolt face ground off at an angle, and the chamber/breech area has been welded up. Seems to be fairly normal with the exception of these marks on the receiver. I have never seen anything like them and cant...

I have the chance to acquire a Finnish Mosin for a song. It seems to all be intact with the exception that the breech has been welded up and the bolt head cut/ground down at about a 30 degree angle. I would like to have one just for its history even if it isn't operable. How hard would it be...

I was looking through Armslist late last night and came across a Mosin M38, Matching SN's with an M38, not M44, stock for $200.. I talked him down to $180 M38 on top with my Type53 on bottom (Yea I know, ChiCom sling, but it isnt as stiff as the one it came with. I'll change it out when I...
