M91/30, Izhevsk 1942, round receiver. Probably the most common Mosin of them all.

Are you sure you want that?


I'm sure that I could fill a small museum, but I'll stick to the three entries. You can count my Ex-Cossack from reply #34.

 

[majspud]

Entry #22. Thought I had already done that.

Here are my two

left is an M44 Dated 1944 from izhmash, counter bored, mostly all #'s matching, stock has been refinished and the rusty butt plate reblued

right is a 91/30 dated 1943 also from izhmash, all numbers matching, not counter bored, this one has also had the stock refinished and butt plate reblued as well. This one has a few repairs on the stock as well. I've also gotten rid of that stupid recoil pad.

 

[majspud]

Holding at 24 entries - I'd like to see 50. We can do this. There is still 17 days to go.

I have a Tula M44 and a Serbian Scrubbed M91 I was going to add. I just have not had the time when the sun is out to take pics. I will try tomorrow. I had other interesting Mosins but sold most of those to Martin to pay for other things.

 

[majspud]

We've still got two more weeks; spread the word!

Chirp...chirp...

My favorite Mosin Nagant - a Sako M39. All matching serials, 1943 barrel on a 1915 receiver. Impressively accurate with Czech light ball.









My Hex Tula 91/30 didn't get much range time after I got her.

 

[mclina]

None of mine are in the same league as the ones posted here. They are all $100 beaters, but they look impressive as a group.

There's a few Russian cousins in there as well.



Edit: The Type 53 with the shell carrier on the buttstock now belongs to Dessert1st. I hope he is enjoying it. And the dark T53 next to it was my son's choice for his 18th birthday.

 

[majspud]

Whoa! Each entry needs to be itemized. Type/maker/receiver date, etc.

Date on the Tula?

Ha, sorry. I wasn't really trying to enter. Like I said, none of them are rare or interesting.

If I had to pick one, purely as an oddity, it would be this one:









On the top of the receiver, this is stamped as a 1943 Tula. This is weird because they didn't make hex receivers in 1943.

When you look underneath the tang, it is stamped 1931 Ishevsk. Making this my oldest rifle.

The Tula was a 1936 (barrel, I forget the receiver tang date). I spent hours cleaning all the cosmo off that thing!
