The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Or you could what the good Russian foot soldier did and pee down the barrel. That'll flush it.

This website has a ton of useful Mosin info:

Thanks for the responses. Yep, this baby is a total parts bin refurb. Tula and Izhevsk parts all mixed thru it. But it did pass the No-Go headspace test.

These marks are about 3/8" tall. The stock also has plenty of small stampings all over it.

This thing has stamps all over it.... much more than my '32 hex.

Has anyone ever seen this mark? It's on my 1943 91/30.

After initial Cosmoline removal use Birchwood Casey No. 77 Muzzle Magic Cleaner. Follow the directions on the bottle, but you can let it soak in for a few minutes during first application. It works great.

All I was doing was comparing the price of new .22LR ammo to the cost of surplus 7.62x54R. But I can build you a new barrel for $2000.00. ;)

At 25 cents a round, Mosin ammo is about as cheap as .22LR. I have 2 Mosin 91/30's and 3 cans of ammo..... and growing.

Yep, that extractor is the only Tula stamped part on this particular rifle. Now my "new" 1943 Izhevsk 91/30 looks like it may have had quite a few parts replaced at the armory. I'll be cleaning off the Cosmo this weekend and seeing what surprises it has in store.

Here are some markings from the bolt head of my 1932 Izhevsk 91/30. Definitely has spare parts.

HЯ 1263. 1943 Izhevsk 91/30

I do have another 91/30 coming next week. I'm going to check it as is, and then swap my old bolt head with it's bolt head and see if it passes, also.

I received my "new" bolt head today. I installed it and it passed the "No-Go" and the "Field Test". Let's go shoot stuff !!!!!

They are sold out. I just checked Allegheny Arsenal and Buymilsurp.com and they have them.

Oh yeah, I have another 91/30 coming in a week or so, so I'll probably swap bolt heads and check them both then.

Thank!! I'll probably bring it to a gunsmith just in case.

I need some expert advice. My "new" 1932 Izhevsk hex has failed the "no-go" gauge test, but passed the "field" gauge test. Should I have any concerns?

Me want !!!!

Howdy folks!! I just became a Mosin owner a few weeks ago. I like my 1932 Izhevsk hex so much I have another Mosin on order. :-)
