What to look for in recent purchase of Mosin Nagant

[K98]

I recently purchased a Mosin Nagant 91/30. What area's are considered to be a primary concern while inspecting these prior to firing? I checked the firing pin depth with the gauge provided, and recently purchased the 3 piece head space gauge from Firewerks. It passed the testing for all 3 gauges. Bore is clean and bright with excellent rifling.

Thanks

Sounds like you're good to go. No cracks in the stock right?

Shot it today and it fired perfectly. I would like to find Russian stripper clips though. I've read the Chinese clips are junk. Any ID marks to look for on those?

Still on the hunt for someone in the area with a mosin front sight adjustment tool. can anyone help out?

I just used a brass punch with a tack hammer to move mine. You could use a steel punch if you aren't worried about maybe marking the side of the sight and want a little more force.

If you plane to shoot alot and use various types of ammo this tool is well worth the 21$ http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mosin-Nagan...304&rk=2&rkt=5&sd=261255173760&#ht_409wt_1360 I got tired of banging and taping, banging ect ect. Also my windage drifts enough to bother me from russian milsurp to romanian ect ect or lot to lot

that thing is silly. It doesn't even have a bumpfire stock.

Touche'

A bumpfire stock is an awesome idea, though.

Mine came without a front sight entirely. I had to go buy one off of a rifle that was being parted out

Did you get it from one of the dealers online? I just ordered 2 of those $100 specials.

When you take the rifle out of the stock look for markings under the wood line. The date and manufacturer will be on the tang. Underside of the barrel can sometimes produce a dozen markings. Then go to www.7.62x54R.net and see if the markings are there. if so they provide some history of what they mean etc. Congratulations to the Mosin addiction, I mean Mosin club. ENJOY

That franken-mosin was built by Zero Hour Arms as a joke meant to poke fun at people who add gimmicky stuff to AR platform rifles and the people who freak out when they see sporterized classic guns. They bought it to a couple of shoots to let people try it.

I don't know how long the barrel is. I just know the picture, myself, and the gun are pretty much famous on the net thanks to a picture MassMark took of me trying it.

Every time Mike posts it, I post the pic of him shooting it.
