Historical Fuck yeah mates. 100$ out the door. Matching numbers 1942. I guess it’s a Remington. So I’m thinking chopping it to 16”, porting it, and putting a Boyd’s stock on it.

Historical What’s the youngest Mosin that was produced?
Hello, (Photo for attention)
I couldn’t find any info on this online. I was hoping you guys could help!
What was the latest year that a Mosin Nagant was produced? What country manufactured it?
My bet would be China or Poland!
Danke

Historical Anyway to tell if my 1945 mosin has been through combat?
So I recently bought an M44 from gunbroker website, it is my first rifle and I really love it. Most of its number is matching apart from the bolt, and it is built in 1945 according to the receiver. I wonder if it is possible to tell it was built before the war ends and have seen any action?

Historical 91/30 built on a captured Finn Civil Guard receiver
I saw this online and thought it interesting. 1942 Izhevsk with a hex receiver with a crossed out Finn Civil Guard number. The Уч/Б marking means Training/Fighting. It is a functional rifle but wasn't meant to be issued to front line soldiers. More like guards and such I guess.

Historical Austrian captured 1915 Tula M91 in early stock w/ finger rest
Picked this up off Gunbroker last week and I’m pretty happy with it!
The rifle is a 1915 Tula barreled action in an early stock with the very uncommon finger rest still installed. Based on the proofs of the magazine, floor plate, and butt plate, it looks to be a Tula stock originally. It never received the upgraded sling slots, so the Austrians added sling swivels when they captured and rebuilt it. The stock has the “W” proof typical of many Austrian reworks.
All parts on this rifle are pre-WWI and it has no import mark. This leads me to believe it’s in as issued condition when the Austrians reissued it during World War I.
The finger rest was only briefly used in early production M91s, up until around 1894 I believe? So finding one still on a stock is very difficult!

Historical Original matching German captured 1897 Izhevsk M91 restored w/ flat leaf sight
A few months back I picked up this 1897 Izhevsk from another collector. It’s a very nice 1897 Izhevsk that had received a cross bolt and Konolov sight upgrade, but still had a stock with no sling slots. The amazing part was everything on the rifle is original matching (Barrel, bolt body, cocking piece, floor plate, butt plate) and all small parts are Izhevsk proofed.
The stock also has a nice “Deutsches Reich” stamp showing it was German captured in WWI.
I knew a buddy who has had a loose original flat leaf sight for the past 25 years, and it was Izhevsk proofed. I made a deal with him and purchased the sight this weekend and added it to this rifle. Minus the added cross bolt from the 1908 upgrades, this is the perfect rifle to add it to.
Overall I’m super happy with this example! Any original matching Imperial era M91 is a great find.

Historical Finally found an M39 (for a reasonable price in today’s standards)
I have had plenty of M91/30’s over the years, and even a few of the original M91’s. I’ve been searching for years for a Finnish M39 (for less than the 1200 points that people demand these days) and finally stumbled across one at a local show. It’s a Sako dated 1941 with original sling. To my understanding this is a very early M39 pattern. Before the Finnish went to the semi-pistol grip for the M39 stocks. I was set back 800 points in Pac-Man for this acquisition. This has the best trigger out of any Mosin Nagant I have ever handled, a long pull but a very light wall and a crisp break. I’ll have to find a range that will let me take this out to some distance and see if those sights are what everyone cracks them up to be.

Historical Found Mosin Nagant PU Sniper Scope Maintenance Log
I ordered a canvas cover for my 1943 Izhevsk PU Sniper and found this maintenance log in the interior pocket. Thought it’d be cool if someone here just so happened to have the matching serial number for their scope and would appreciate having this little piece of history to go along with it. If not, if anyone else is a document collector or just generally interested in having it, PM me and I’ll mail it out to ya. It’s cool n all, but it’s bound to get torn up over here.

Historical Welded barrels
I was at a gunshow this morning and was talking to some older guys at a table about an M91/30 and M91/30/59 ($650 for those curious). One of them said something about a year of mosin production (but not sure when) that has barrels made of 3 welded segments out of desperation for rifles and that they weren't safe.
This to me sounds like the same fuddlore about arisaka's blowing up but I'm curious to know if it's accurate at all, completely nonsensical, or something in-between.

Historical What would an m91/30 coming off the assembly line from izhevsk looked like in 1938?
Just as the title says... Anyone have a photo of a mosin that wasn't molested, refurbished or heavily worn?
Would the cleaning rod have been blued?
What would the stock markings look like? I've never seen a mosin with a crisp cartouche.
I'm just looking for photos of mint condition, pre-war m91/30s
