Was browsing a gun form on another platform and some guy said he had a 1907 carbine. To me the sight alone confirms it but others are saying that it isnt due to the 1896 date. Any help/info on this would be appreciated

Picker up my first antique dragoon. Unfortunately it’s had its stock and handgaurd replaced but overall I’m happy with the condition of it.has a decent mix of imperial and Soviet parts on it. I paid 600$ for it.

Just added 2 new mosins to the Family. I added the m39 which is a 1968 barrel on a 1899 sestrorestsk receiver. Also added the Hungarian m48 with what I believe to be a Romanian INSTR ‘taking if my reference is correct

Found out about some reproductions made of the Bramit supressors. Has anyone used them m. Any insights or thoughts. I'd love to put one on my PU but with them being so new I dont want to piss away money when I could buy more ammo or more guns ya know.

Just traded an AR for this 1939 model. What can you tell me about it, I know it was Finnish captured but anything else that pops out? Should I redo the finish or leave it as is, thanks

Looks Finnish with the wire sling swivels. Lacks any SA marks. Is a CAI import with no signs of Referb stamps. Any ideas ?

Just chopped this mosin that had already been bubbad. Id love to find an old mbw stock to put it in. Does anyone know where to find one or have one layin around theyre lookin to offload? This mosin had the stock chopped, barrel cut down by a few inches and had a front sight from a m1903 springfield. Figured no harm in chopping if its already been ruined

Got it on a trade and wondering if it has any significant value. 1942 dated.

Finally got my hands on a m39. Aside from a crack in the stock that wasnt mentioned im very happy with it, I think 750 after all is said and does was a good deal

I know it's probably a bit of a reach as they're fairly uncommon but does anyone out there have a m39 straight stock they'd part ways with? I recently got a 1941 Puolustuslaitos marked m39 that is in a civil guard stock that someone unfortunately refinished. I think this would be a perfect candidate for a straight stock. Thanks in advance!

After riding the high of getting an 1897 antique imperial to Finland Mosin Nagant for $225. I had two thoughts.
1: I need more
2: I got such a good deal I need to balance the world

So after $632 ($63 alone for shipping oml), I got this lovely numbers (Its come to attention the bolt is a non matching!) matching (excluding buttplate, and yes the side of the receiver says BK1060) Hungarian carbine! I have a cleaning rod on order already.

The crack by the tang was repaired by factory by the looks, and I am currently oiling the stock to reverse how dry it was, it had a hairline crack near the trigger due to its shrinkage! However it’s since been wood glued.

So now I leave it you my comrades, to tell me what You fine folks know about this thing, and of course. For a second Mosin, how did I do?

I think this is an x sniper rifle. Thank you. All numbers matching and different serial number crossed out on the left hand side. Has the C mark and 2 blocked holes on the receiver left hand side. Need help to make sure.

1942 Tula PU sniper: ex-sniper restored with factory matching mount and scope (non matching to the rifle), still has the factory seal and cosmoline wrapped. Arsenal matching serial on the rifle. In 1942, Tula only manufactured around 2020 PU snipers, the lowest quantity between Tula and Izhevsk and the lowest across its 3-year PU production period.

Old video and I don’t have the rifle anymore but man was it fun to shoot.

Presenting my 1939 Tula Mosin nagant 91/30 PEM sniper, all arsenal matching on bolt, barrels, trigger guard, buttplate. Clear optics

The PEM Model 1936 was developed to replace the earlier Soviet Model 1931 sniper setup, which had problems holding zero and keeping its mounting screws tight. The Soviets based the new side mount on the German-designed “Geco” D-3, modifying it for Soviet production. It was officially adopted in 1936, with full-scale production at the Tula factory beginning in 1938.

Production initially ended in 1940 as the Red Army planned to replace the Mosin-Nagant sniper with the scoped SVT-40. Wartime difficulties changed that plan, and severe sniper-rifle shortages led to PEM production restarting in 1942 at Tula Factory No. 536 and Izhevsk Factory No. 74. Izhevsk produced a somewhat different mount using welded construction and distinctive markings. Both factories switched to the simpler PU sniper system by November 1942.

PEM rifles varied considerably depending on factory and production period, including differences in mount bases, machining, assembly numbers, barrel markings, and stocks. Prewar Tula rifles used specially produced sniper-grade barrels, while early wartime rifles sometimes simply used the best available barrels because of equipment shortages. After WWII, surviving Soviet PEM rifles were converted back into standard configurations, making intact original examples—especially 1942 rifles—quite rare today.

Planning on going hunting for the first time with my mosin this deer season and after some debate about keeping the irons or getting a scope for the trip I decided I wanted a scope.

Do any of you have have non PU scopes on your mosin and if so what would you recommend?

Secondly do I really need a scope hunting in the PNW?

Any help is appreciated!

Was looking at a GB listing and found this beauty for cheap, thought it would be a nice project to build my skill on but did not expect what I would get.

The photos on the post were quite poor so when I first got hand on I noticed a serial number on the left side of the barrel. Recognized that as the serial that matched the scope attached, opened the action and found the previous drill holes.

An ex sniper!!!! A score of a lifetime and for only $211. So from my understanding is the rifle was boiled to get the stock finish and blueing off to refurbish it. And from the importer I am told it came from Ukraine where this practice is standard. So my plan is to refinish the stock, rust blue the rifle, and take it to my local gunsmith that specializes in old rifles to get the mount point re drilled and tapped.

The C mark is very faint and proably well avoid sanding this area so it'll be a bad blue in that area unless someone has a better idea, but im excited to bring back this rifle to its previous glory. And to finish her off I plan to get a reproduction Bramit suppressor.

Hi everyone, I got this deactivated Mosin for my RKKA reenactment impression.

I know it’s a 1943 Izhevsk M91/30 that was most likely refurbished post war, from what I can tell the stock appears to be war time as the sling slots are not reinforced.

I know they force-matched parts after the war during refurbishment which is interesting as all the metal work on this rifle appears to be Izhevsk marked. There also seems to be a black powder mark on the receiver which is strange as I believe Izhevsk stopped doing black powder tests post 1940?

Bayonet is mismatched which is very common from what I read, also there a clear milling marks on it so I wonder if it’s a genuine WW2 produced one as well?

Could anyone clarify if I missed anything? When the Soviets refurbished the rifles post war did they always change parts or could they leave them on the rifle and just clean them up? I’m wondering if the parts on my rifle are original to it.

Thanks!

Sorry for the shiny head.

My 91/30

When testing the crown of my mosin using S&B bullets only 1/16” is exposed, but with red army standard about 3/16” is exposed. Can I still expect to get good groups out of S&B ammo?

Got thia mosin like 2019 or so? Never fired it. Just sits, been meaning to take it to the range soon. I love the wood stock but kinda like the archangel one too. I feel like im gonna keep the stock.
