For some reason I thought you would have it by Wednesday?

 

Yes, well I ordered it from Buds Gun Shop on Friday, and I am at the mercy of their processing, shipping and then travel time. I assume they take their time with all that. I did however call them up to ensure they had them in stock cause I didnt want to order something that wasnt in stock.

I was hoping I would have it by the end of this week, but with my luck they wont ship until the end of the week. So I am assuming hopefully by the end of the enxt week the latest.

 

Rev, some will not post pics for opsec reasons. Here is my 12 yo sisters Mosin Nagants that belonged to her grandmother and handed down by a niece, she was cleaning them yesterday while watching the 49ers win. She really enjoys football:

 

They are beautiful man

 

Here she is - the latest incarnation. A tip of the hat to tobkis for the idea of the raised cheekpiece. 1939 Tula. Rubber buttpad, trigger has been tweaked, stock refinished with linseed oil, NC Star LER scope with illuminated reticle (actually it's just the center dot that's illuminated), barrel shortened to 22". Always goes bang when I pull the trigger.

Outstanding job on her, does the cheek raiser help? It sure did with me.

 

Thanks that gives me ideas on what to do with mine when I get it.

 

Loved refinishing my Mosin. First gun I've ever refinished and I have a feeling I'll be doing many more with the way it turned out! I used a combination of Minwax stains because I couldn't find a color I really liked... mixed and matched on a 1/2 sheet of wood until I got just the right combo. I've got it written down somewhere if anyone is interested I can find it and post it later.

Before/in process of finishing:

Finish completed:

Finally, here is a closeup of the finish. I love the satin look. Pictures don't do it complete justice. The grain shows through very well and all the cartouches (not seen here) were left in tact because I thought they looked neat and had some history behind them.

I love it! please, share what your "mix" of stains were!

Are those original Russian bandoleers designed for the 54R?
DO WANT!
Oh, and one of those overcoats that also apparently store 54R ammo!
Heck, I'll even take one of those hats... gets cold here, just like in Russia.



...Wait... I'm getting gear-jealous ... over a picture probably at least 50 years old...

I don't care.
It's so hard to find a modern heavy coat with built-in pockets for 7.62x54r!
...And the mosin lends itself so well to having loose ammo quickly at hand... Put around 50 rounds in a row through mine last weekend; only stopped because the finish on the wood started to boil out from the heat. ^.^

 

Nice job Jaba, like the look on both.

 

Here's my 91/30 converted into a scout rifle.

I had black tiger stripes with OD green on the stock but decided to just keep it all OD green.

Parts:

* ATI synthetic Monte Carlo stock.

* S&K Insta - mount with S&K steel scope rings.

* Simmons pro hunter pistol scope ( LER 4x32 magnification )

 

Posted it before, but she is a sexy beast. Mosin 91/59 Carbine. Made in 1943 like new when I got her and deadly accurate.

I have to work to get her away from my wife now, she loves this rifle. How can you blame her.

HH54r

 

54r, that kind of beauty can only come from age. Very nice.

Loaded, I will be doing the same on one this winter but keeping the wood stock. How do you like the scout setup?

 

To be honest I haven't been able to take her out yet. Just been to busy.

 

Sorry, mine don't do on-screen nudity. It's in their contract.

 

I can get an izhveck 1939 best condition I have ever seen in a mosin.

its 100%, anyone know what it might be worth? I was looking at getting a bolt gun and they seem like reliable ones for cheap. How is ammo?

If I scope it I loose irons?

 

If I recall there were a million made at Izhvesk in 1939 -same year the Soviets invaded Poland and Finland. An Izhvesk round receiver 1939 is listed as among the least rare MNs. http://7.62x54r.net/MosinID/MosinRarity.htm

A PE or PU mount allow the use of the iron sights. I mounted the PE. It actually has a space cut in it for using the irons by looking through the mount. The PU of course mounts to the side and doesn't obstruct the irons. Kalinka and IO also make side mounts which take POSP and PSO series optics. All these have to be drilled and tapped.

 

Well nonews from Buds Gun Shop as of yet - If I knew they would take so long to process this order I would have purchased it elsewhere.

 

Sorry to hear that Rev. the tracking # will come and excitement will surely follow. Start looking for the Model 38, M44 or the 91/59. Not good to have a lonely Mosin Nagant..... they are known to come from and thrive in large families.

 

Love my Mosin

sorry I wrote in the wrong year its a 1927 91/30 made in same factory. Looks more like a Hex barrell


EDIT: Hex reciever

 

'27 Hex Izhvesk more rare. Comes in at a 4 on the list if it's an updated dragoon. If it is a Cossack comes in at 9. Does it have the Cossack stamp, which looks like this: KA3

 

Hey Rev, Did you receive the Mosin Nagant? Do not leave us hanging.....Pics, Pics, Pics.

 

I have an 1896 Westinghouse model in excelent condition and and a 1942 Soviet carbine model also in mint condition are these good models to have?

 

If I had those two, I would want a third, just a run-of-the-mill one to use for a beater... One I could abuse and not care about.

 

Can some one explain what nugget means?

 

A moist nugget is a loving reference to the Mosin Nagant. If my old memory serves me well the rifle was named after 2 people. French and Russian? Someone will chime in with the facts.

 

My 1945 M44,refinished the stock,bedded the action,polished the bolt,free floated the barrel channel. Added the S & K rear sight locking rings scope mount and the NC Star 3 x 7 x 32 long eye relief scope. I have right at $200 in the rifle,scope mount and scope and the materials to refinish the stock.

Shoots pretty good as well,5 shot group at 50 yds. after the modifications. Can't wait to stretch it out.

 

Well since were all sharing here please do not laugh at me for turning a sow's ear into a silk purse but here is my favorite a 1925 Tula. It shoots 2 inch groups with surplus ammo at a 100.

the brake is hand made and I threaded the barrel and re-crowned at 11 degrees with a .100 recess.

 

scrappy where did ja get that stock

 

Richards Micro Fit

took 4 months to get it, cost me about 140.00 but it is so comfortable to shoot it was worth it.

 

Another One

Here's another one of mine. A 1952 Pole. Not bad shape. Got it from Century a few years back as part of a 3-fer $180. I think the other two were a Romanian and a Russian.

 

My Mosins

First is a 1944 Sako M39. Built on a '16 Izzy reciever. Great shooting, finnish rifle.
Second is a 1942 Izzy 91/30. Not as nice as the M39 but I would hesitate to use it as a SHTF rifle.
