The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

I don't know what it is ......I like what other people like such as muscle cars, guns, motorcycles, women :big shock: , what have you.........but when it comes time for me to acquire something, I always seem to go for the thing thats slightly different. I'm not particularly partial to '91s.....I thi...

I need one of those to fill in the early end of my collection. I can only hope to find one that good.

I queried a friend in Finland about the plate. This is what he had to say - Hei Michael, I noticed earlier you use finnish Hi;) The ID plate is for V = Varikko for depot. The M91 rifle was 2nd line weapon and issued to depot personnel. These ID plates are nice additions, because ID plates were order...

When I saw this, I couldn't pass it up......... IMGP4205.jpg , IMGP4200.jpg , IMGP4199.jpg , IMGP4198.jpg , IMGP4203.jpg , IMGP4204.jpg , IMGP4207.jpg , IMGP4210.jpg . No more guns for the entire rest of the year........I mean it..... :biggrin: Although........I do have a non-gun item coming from Fi...

I meant it to be about various MNs, but what the heck........Most sensitive trigger I've tripped was an electric one on the Cadillacs on an M68 105mm rifled cannon - M60A1 tank...one shot, one kill at 2750 meters. Optical sights are great!

....ouch.........nope. I could probably make one work.......I'm just leary of some new style things...........call me a selective luddite.

I might be wrong but the directions sound like there could be some fine finger manipulation required. That may sound funny, but I have Parkinson's and fine manipulation is not possible with my left hand. I can work on things out in the open, but MN chambers are shrouded and it might be difficult to ...

Anyone have a go/no go, field gauge they want to sell? I'm looking for the regular type, not an OKIE type. My collection is growing........I really ought to check them all.

I notice that my M28 has ZERO creap......nice and crisp...I really like that......I think I heard they changed that on later models......I notice also that my M39s have substantial creap........probably better if you're wearing heavy gloves.

RSsmall.jpg LS SMALL.jpg This is my first auction success. I staid up late one night and snagged this at about 2 am - an SKY M28/30, no SA marks., just like my M28 - apparently straight Civil Guard. Please excuse the photos, I tore down my small studio setup temporarily. IMGP4187.jpg BOLT NUMBERS.j...

I'm pretty sure I understand why it looks "painted"......in a way it was. Not only are there brush strokes in the finish, there were runs on the receiver, and for sure shellac on the magazine from brush overlap. What nailed it was when i decided to clean up the sling "hangers" an...

Nope. Not there. I looked for the Tika year stamp........doesn't have one. I would like to know about the front sight assembly. Is it sweated on, or is there some sort of fastener insied sonewhere? I was looking at the nose cap, and there is no way its coming off the barrel with the sight in place! ...

Here you go. Its really hard to get the effect in a pic. The finish seems to have a "thickness", not just a smooth blue black job. If you notice the damage near the muzzle, you get an impression that something has been removed, not just scratched up. As for the numbers........they look pre...

Scratch the concept of serial numbers. Rechecked my references. My impression was the district numbers were much smaller. Still, I hadn't heard of them being stamped on the bolt.

Don't see any pictures of the marks or the "paint" and absolutely not a reused Russian barrel on the m28. The m28 is a finn civilguard rifle and therefore had district number stamps that are not serials. I'll have to use my macro lense to illustrate, however, there are two serial numbers ...

Update: its stripped down. The barrel is definitely painted (as is part of the receiver and the trigger guard/magazine, and barrel bands) or has some sort of coating, black and shiny, like enamel....pretty uniform at one time. Another weird twist is that I can hardly find any marks on the receiver.....

Thanks to redrockin7 I have a new member to the litter.... M28b.JPG Tika assembled. The markings on this one are a bit different. I don't see any SA marks at all. I would assume that the Civil Guard turned over most of their rifles, but not ALL!? I also noticed that while the Finn SN is stamped on t...

About what I'd read. The package deal of war reparations - weapons, parts, machinery -wOW, what a garage sale! I can't say for sure, but I don't think mine is a "parts" gun. Everything just seems to be right. It might not mean anything at all but the finish is such a uniform blue, just lik...

I'd always wanted a Mauser, since I was a kid growing up with WWII movies. I could probably have bought one with alal the bells and whistles Waffenamts, codes, markings, and in good shape to boot. I could have gotten all that for about 4x what I paid for this one. But what the heck, I don't run a mu...
