mosin nagants very addicting

[hotfarmboy1]

I bought my romanian M44 back when I was 18 during my senior year of high school, paid $50 for it back then. Then last summer I picked up my russian 91/30 for $80 at dunhams. My M44 has been my main coyote rifle for a long time now, but its modded too. I'm hoping to buy another one here soon to leave orig and just have fun.

Was this the GM in castleton? If so then I was handling that gun yesterday probably right before you bought it

no this was the gm in greenwood

I think they are cool because of their nastalgia. Just think, if it wasn't for this rifle the Nazis would have taken Stalengrad! It's the history for me. My 13 yr old says he would take a wooden WWII rifle over any "Black Rifle". Me, I like firearms of all kinds but these Military rifles are awesome and I really enjoy doing resaerch on them. You definitely get lots of looks at the range...

I would also like to purchase one of these at some point. What is the difference between the models(M44, M38, 91/30s, M91, M39)?

That's a big question. You really need to check here:

Here's a list of every known variant:
Variations of the Rifles Mosin-Nagant

Here's a real good pictorial of all the models:
Mosin Nagant Master Model Reference


The main timeline for Russian Nagants is the M91 from ..... 1891. (Surprised? LOL)

The m91 led to the 91/30. Early models have a hex receiver, later wartime models used a round receiver design. From there they made a cut down carbine in the M38 and later in WW II came the M44 which looks a lot like an M38 with a side folding bayonet. Then came the semi-mysterious 91/59.

That's a seriously egregious Reader's Digest version of it. The other two sites will be tons more informative.

Then when your head is dizzy with the Russian variants and markings, wait until you start trying to keep track of all rest of the variants from satellite nations. ;-)

My first Mil Surplus rifle was a Romanian M44, man I was hooked and the rest is history. 91/30's are my favorite. $79-$120 for an awesome bolt action rifle. I just love em.

Mosins???? Did someone say Mosins?

Couple of short vids from the INGO Mosin shoot last year (warning - some NSFW language. Danielocean's a potty mouth. )

Reminds me of my last time out shooting...I don't know what it is, but they certainly bring a smile to your face and make you laugh.

I wonder if the Russians laughed when they splatted the heads of the Germans.

Let's see, my first was a Tula M91/30.
Then came......
Tula M44
Ishevsk M59
Tula M38
Tula M59
1906 Ishevsk M91/38 (hex receiver)
1898 Ishevsk M91

The nicest shooter is the M91. The best trigger is the M91/38, guessing at about 4 lbs, crisp, and very little uptake.

None of them kick as hard as my Marlin 30-30.

Good place to start. Thanks!

1895 Tula here. Got it in '88 for $30 bucks. Still shoots when I pull the trigger.

 

[BloodEclipse]

I just bought a 91/30 from Dunham's for $89
The date stamp is 1922 and it has the hex reciever.
It appears to have been a cut down 91/38.
The bolt is real smooth and I can't wait to get it to the range.

Denny, I don't think you have enough, once you double that then you can start thinking about quitting, emphasis on "thinking"


Also, what is the one with the short front end of the wood?

Ha, I'm on break from buying anymore for the moment...with the economy and all. The one rifle with the short wood was bubba'd. They cut the stock down for some reason. Thankfully, they never messed with the rest of the rifle. It is in beautiful condition...non-import marked. I have since found a correct replacement stock and it's back to a normal condition. Since this picture, I have bought an original 91/30 sniper with it's original scope and mount still intact.
