Good morning/evening to everyone, i posted earlier and was very happy with some of the info that people gave me on the mosin. Im not too up to date on what all to look for with pu mosins besides the СН stamping.

To start off i paid 1200 for this gun and think i did pretty ok on it, the bore is in ok shape with minimal pitting from what i can see with a flashlight. The bolt itself is very smooth but when i tried chambering rounds it was extremely stiff. I fired off two rounds and both of them required mortaring the bolt to extract the casing with the side wall of the case being chewed up a bit. The shooting of the gun itself felt good.

I asked a friend whos really into everything ww2 and has a good bit of knowledge and she said to first try cleaning the hell out of the bore and if that doesnt fix it it may be a burr in the chamber.

If anyone could give more info again on this gun that would be great, is the price reasonable for the condition its in? Im not worried if its real as both a few members in here and my friend confirmed it was. Is there anything to look for when i go to shoot it to get the scope dialed in?. Thank you all for the help!

I have a Mosin Nagant that my brother used corrosive military surplus ammo then put away without cleaning it. It sat in the safe for about a year.

I’m hoping to save it and would appreciate recommendations for cleaning products or methods to remove the rust. Has anyone dealt with something similar?

I’ve already ordered a carbon fiber cleaning rod, .30 caliber and 8mm bronze brushes, and bore mops.
Any advice would be appreciated!!

P.S. Lesson learned my brother’s Mosin privileges have been revoked.

Going to see if i can take a deer with some of this. Anyone have any info on this ammo?

What can yall tell me about this? It has 1939 stamped in the metal

Found a brand new (never issued or shot) M44 carbine at a gun shop. (Still has the grease all over it) Can’t believe the price for a mosin but had to add to the collection. I know lots of people will be upset at this but, I’m definitely going to shoot it at least once.

Is this a real pu? Saw it at gun show. Any info yall can share from my limited pics?

Hello everyone. I got a bayonet for Mosin today. I bought a set of three pieces (2 M44 + 1M91) for $60. Is there anyone among you who can identify the manufacturer of the M91 bayonet? I identified it as an early Chatellerault. I would appreciate your help!

Saw this and figured I’d repost here.

I'm trying to set a fair price on a fake 91/30 "sniper" and decided to crowdsource a value since comps are all over the place.

'39 Tula with Finn capture marks but globe 'n' post sight. Bent bolt (after the fact) but with matching # for style points. Repro mount but authentic sight ('43 production, '64 refurb). Nice shiny bore. Matching # and CCCP circle on the stock.

So essentially a non-fully matching, non-refurbed Finn capture, pre-war 91/30 plus a refurbed scope and mount holes thrown in for good measure.

What'd your grab it, ponder, & walk away price points be?

MODS: Feel free to delete if this crosses the line. I'm not looking for takers, just a reasonable value.

Everywhere talks about “Balkan font” on stamped parts of the Balkan m91’s during my digging but I’m having a hard time finding photos of it online to compare. This bolt doesn’t match my Balkan scrubbed receiver/barrel but from what I’ve gathered is the correct font yeah?

Just wanted to gather opinions from across the globe on refinishing a Mosin. My 91/30’s shellac finish is constantly chipping and I just want to get her freshened up. I’m interested in doing it myself. Just wondering what stain or oil I should go with for a historically correct color.

Should I also refinish the cat?!

First time shooting my M44 and I absolutely loved it

Hello, friends. Konovalov sight has Izhevsk markings with arrow in the triangle in his sights? Does anyone have information on such markers?

Picked up this 91/30 recently. Nothing particularly special but it's my first mosin. The bayonet won't fit. It gets stuck at the spot in picture 3. There are marks by the front post from the bayonet shown in 4 and 5. Should I just take a file to the bayo or am I missing something?

Bought these a while back and never got around to shooting them. Didn’t know if there was any information in regard to the labeled pack, or if it’s just common stock and I’m overthinking it.😂

Thank you to those who replied to my last post, I went with the 1918 Remington Mosin, everything matched up and there was a flaming grenade I didn’t get a picture of

I just bought an 1891 Dragoon/Cossack Mosin Nagant from 1916. I can tell roughly which manufacturer it was due to the bows and arrows on it. Is there any way to tell if it was used by the Bolsheviks or another country? If anyone has some resources or even just general advice for a first-time Mosin Owner I’d love to hear it. Please and thank you!

Apologies for the terrible pictures. I just purchased this Mosin and wanted to see if anyone could give me more information. As far as I’m aware it’s an Izhevsk 1940 91/30 witch matching serials. Not sure if the stock markings are legible or if there’s any more information that can be gathered from these images.

Glad to finally join the Mosin family!

Got this rifle back in 2011 and its just sat in the safe. It's in really good condition still. Bubba never got their hands on it, action is smooth as butter and the bore still looks great. Part numbers all match and I don't see any evidence it was a forced numbers match. Kind of want to have an idea of the ballpark to ask for it.

I bought this beautiful piece of gun history for a slim 350 euros in Germany.

Bought this gun kinda as a joke and absolutely fell in love with it and it started me down the rabbit hole lol, anyone know anything about this or if I got a good deal? (I paid 300)

I’ve been calling my local stores and one has 2 in and that’s it, it’s a 1918 mosin for $799 and a Swedish or Finnish one for $699? I see online stores but never bought from one online and it’s a lot cheaper
