The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Custer the Clusterf......dam fool got himself and his men killed, but the man did have balls, no brains at all, but pleanty of balls. Yea, balls alright, I wonder if he was buried with or without his. He did have brains, but his ego was too big for his and his men's own good. The difference in Cust...

Thanks for that JYD. It really does appear that the blue was removed on purpose, and diligently. This one has no ep numbers, just mismatching parts. Who knows, maybe sometime in the future every Mosin collector will be paying big bucks for a "sand buffed" M-44, and worrying if their's is f...

" My question is what in the world would you do to remove all of the finish? It almost looks intentional. " Nothing. Wipe it down with some lemon oil and let it be. It took a long time to get that ugly, leave it. I didn't phrase my question properly. The question was what did the Russians...

Hey, Desdem, my eyes are getting old and tired. Is your avatar Stonwall Jackson?

Before I start, my camera died yesterday and won't be replaced for a week or so. I ordered a beater Mosin M-44 at a bargain price and it arrived yesterday. The rifle is a '45 Izhevsk that I needed to fill a date slot and is about as un collectable as a Mosin can be. Only the butt-plate matches the b...

How do you do that?

To buy my last M-91, I sold my wife's car to an illegal alien who was on his way back to Mexico for $350.00. (She is really gonna miss that '63 Vett)

Another bunch of junky old commie rifles.

My T-53 is in nice condition, but came with a bolt and floor-plate that were un-serialized. Not scrubbed, just never stamped.

Hey Rongoman,

Is this the M-44 you are looking for?

UN gun D. ? No, buddy, this gun hasn't been de-milled. It still shoots. ;)

This rifle is the most mixed up rifle I own. No two serials match. It's good side is that it is an excellent shooter and has a fine bore and trigger. It was bought in The Spring of this year for $75.00 plus shipping. I wonder what nation last had this rifle in their inventory. Polish Barrel (1952) a...

As you might guess, from my name, I likkkkkkes 1911s.

I did a quick change to the sportster and hunting rifle forum. It now reads Sportsters and all Hunting Rifles Forum Sportsters and Hunting Rifles are discussed here. We don't advocate making Sporsters, but we do recognize the ones already made as pieces of history and of importance. If you have or ...

Mine is actually a Romanian TT-C. I got it in the CAI box with accessories for less than $150.00. I got a handful of surplus magazines for around $8.00 apiece shortly after. I am a 1911 man from way back and I Found the Tok a familiar feeling gun. It fits my hands well and points naturally. It is al...

How does it compare to a TT-33? Is is possible or practical to switch to 9mm? I don't see them around anymore now that I am interested in them, but I think I want one.

Good to hear from you Jim, and you can't blame me for trying. I really didn't mean that thing about the raid. (since no one had the internal fortitude help me) I was just trying to make sure none of you valuable collection came to a bad end. Good luck tonight. Let us know as soon as you can after th...

I know we all like good books. I always keep reading materials stacked by my bed to cure insomnia. The following book is quite comforting. I am showing the table of contents so you can see if it might be up your alley. I find these kinds of books at thrift stores for a buck or less, and enjoy them a...

Very nice piece of history, ET. Congrats. We are all temporary custodians of the history we hang on our walls. I bet the former custodian would like to know that the next owner cherished the gun, an was proud enough of it to preserve it share it with his friends and then pass it into the future the ...

Hey D.,

If Jim is worried about his guns, he still has time to UPS them to me, it is dry here, and I would take very good care of them.
