I'm 24 years old and i'm italian. I mostly collect german military photos from 1930 to 1947. But recently i got my italian permit to buy guns and I started my gun collection with the most beautiful gun ever, a mosin nagant.

Welcome aboard.

That's different.

Thanks for all the help. Sorry I was gone so long I got sick again. Looks like I,ll be getting rid of my stuff. Can you suggest the best way to sell this rifle. I would list it here and/or on one of the other forums. I have no experience with gunbroker or any of the other auction sites, so I couldn...

9 out of 10 times though I prefer to use my laptop

Same here.

I traded off an M39 years ago, but got something about as cool, so it doesn't burn too much. I'm with Darryll thinking I need to liquidate them on my terms.

Looks good, but the bottom "hook" should stick out further to catch on your pocket when you draw it.

You will have to check the local laws where you want to go compete.

Welcome aboard.

Happy Birthday!

Yea but that don't make it an assault cabin, two story, sniper windows, back door gunner.

Yeah, but JYD's has a madman behind the wheel blaring Victrola music, armed to the teeth.

Look for #2 domed head slotted wood screws at the hardware store. I got the plated steel ones. Heat them up redhot with a propane torch and then drop them in some old nasty black oil. Instant 100 year old looking screw. I know of no source for originals.

Mixed parts are the norm on Finnish mosins. The trigger, floorplate, basically anything could be from any arsenal.

Which screw is buggered? I can't tell from the pic.

this is just some info i found on a forum New England Westinghouse M91's had neither dates on the tang or the Imperial crest stamped on the top of the receiver so that's a possible origin of your receiver. Look on the underside of the receiver for a stamped letter such as a E or a M with a arrow po...

I think they said if it ain't broke, don't fix it. IDK.

The Finns made rifles out of parts. You may find any maker anything with an any maker anything else. Things like the Finn match barrel and bolt and certain Finnish depot marks change the story over Remington vs, Tula vs. Izhevsk, etc.

Wickmac. I like you and you seem to be a nice fellow, but this is the last time I translate your posts for you. Google translate is free and very simple.

The bolt knob and barrel shank number should match to be considered Finn matched. Your's appears to be. Is the receiver marked?
