papabear,

thanks for the great link.....very interesting. I didn't realize that there are essentially (at least, I guess) two more mosin carbines -the 91/59 and the 91/38 to go along with the 44 and 38. Pretty cool.

carguy,

maybe I need to do a "buy it now" and sell it to one of the collectors on Gunboards. Too bad my C&R hasn't come back yet! Check it out:

There are also plenty of non Russian mosin nagants numbering well over a dozen


here's a quote from 7.62x54r.net

"M91/30s were also cut down, probably by the Soviet Union and are known as M91/59s. They are usually on round receivers, but hexagonal ones are known. The easiest way to recognize an M91/59 is the rear sight which is the old M91/30 leaf with all graduations above 10 milled off. Neither of these cut down carbines has a folding bayonet or were issued with a separate bayonet."

I'm no expert but I know what I like and I like that fine looking rifle!!

To be honest, the Mosin Nagant is not the most beautiful rifle in the world. It is/was an old design that lasted waaaaay beyond its expected life as a battle rifle. BUT, the rifle is rugged, easy to master, can be operated and cleaned by anyone, and still operate!

The MN does what it was made for. I have a 91/30 all matching 1942 and the recently purchased M-44 carbine. This is one rifle that most anyone can afford (now the problem is affording ammo, LOL), it is reasonably accurate, fun to shoot, and just a great firearm to own. What other rifle can give this much pleasure for the price?

Ahhh, come on abwehr

You mean you think those old Mausers are prettier than a Nagant???? Surely you don't really think so! ;D

volfandan,

You got it! LOL! The K98k is the Ferrari of bolt actions. But you have to love the old Mosin Nagant.....remember the old saying that "beauty is only skin deep"

I see a picture stand off... picture contest .. show off brewing here. ::) best looking one wins... I and a panel to be named later will decide winner and remember I can be bought....

If you carry that "ramp, lifle...whatever you want to call it", is it considered concealed carry or disguised carry? ??? ::)

carguy,

maybe you can get away with a high-cap assault lamp in Mass.??? Just make sure you have an approved lampshade.

Ok just when you thought you have seen it all about this rifle,look what I just found on gunbroker.. I think it is a little out there but that is just me..

I think the Mass law allows no more than 10 lamp shades unless they were made prior to 1994...then anything goes!!
