Last week I picked up two mosins and today I found one on armslist. So I'm the proud owner of three mosin 91/30
Far right I call number 1 is a 1941 Izzy
Center I call number 2 is a 1942 Izzy
Far left I call number 3 is a 1942 Izzy
Number 1 and 3 have sloppy triggers but I am going to start polishing them and maybe add spacers.
Number 2 has a AWESOME trigger it is very clean break and breaks very soft.
Do have a question for you experts. Number 3 I picked up today it has been all cleaned and oiled but after inspecting everything I saw two problems.
First the spring in the magazine is shorter then the others. The one that lifts the rounds up to be feed. Doing some test feeds it looks like it is working ok but if it will cause issue later I would like to go ahead and replace it if I can.
Second thing was as the trigger is kinda sloppy and has a long pull it hits the back of the finger guard before it fires. So pretty much it won't fire. As that item doesn't have a serial number I swapped it with number two has it had a bigger opening. To me it has a very long trigger pull and it just bottomed out in the guard so I swapped it with number 2 and they both work fine.
Gave $99.99 for number 1 & 2
Gave $80 for number 3 because "Something is wrong with the bolt and it won't fire"
With a bit of time they all checked out fine, Now to order some more ammo so I can go to the range.:
