Mosin nagant thread
>>29801413
Does anywhere have M39s other than classic?
I would be willing to shell out some real dosh for one in actually pristine shape.
I hate this rifle, consider converting it to a PU rifle and using it for deer hunting. Any suggestions / help?
Should I spray paint mine ?
>>29801496
Spray paint it what? For what purpose?
>>29801515
Kinda like a plastic dip mat black
>>29801611
Only if you highlight the metal in the white.
>>29801477
>Any suggestions
Yeah, don't. Get an actual deer rifle. If it's not accurate enough to use the irons for hunting, putting a scope on it (especially a PU) won't help
>>29801477
depending on where you are fmj is illegal for hunting durr
I got my heart broken but better than a couple hundred dollar fine
>>29801760
Its accuracy is fine, and better with ammo that isn't shitty corrosive surplus. And putting a scope on it would 100% help, what kind of bullshit is that? I'm converting the fucker anyway because Mosins objectively suck compared to similar rifles.
I'm not interested in buying a new rifle at this time.
>>29801771
I'd be using brass-cased soft points anyway, possibly reloads if I decide it's important enough.
So I have stripper clips for my Mosin, but I can't get the damn things to feed properly. Any idea why?
here is my mosin
Here's my nugget, photo taken a couple days ago

>I would be willing to shell out some real dosh for one in actually pristine shape.
Classic is the only place I've seen them recently. I got one of the "late date" rifles last year, when they had them in stock. Paid extra for un-issued. What I got was about 99.5% of being a new rifle.
Here she is
>>29801841
Here's your (you) bubba
Just got this Finnish hex receiver
Just acquired, still getting the cosmoline off it.
25 Izhevsk, hex, all numbers matching including bayonet, brass end caps.
I went into a fun store to get some ammo, and accidentally another nugget into the collection.
>>29805022
Post stamps
>>29804979
Piss off, the guy is at least keeping it close to original. Like Mosins matter anyway.
>>29806236
Sorry shitty camera
>>29802691
try holding the top cartridge. But your thumb on top of the base, and wrap your index finger around the bullet/neck and push down. They can be tricky.
Only firearm I own (besides a blackpowder) and I keep it in easy access with some ammo for SD. Does anyone know of a better way to store it safely for emergency use? If I keep four in the magazine and shut the bolt with the chamber empty will put wear on magazine? If anyone helps I'll explain why the cleaning rod has dental floss on it, if you care to know that it
>>29807558
Civil Guard number on a Tikka m/30? That is interesting.
>>29807917
Ya I got it for a steal, and it fires like a champ. Definitely my current favorite.
>>29801413
Where do i get a musty nigglet
>>29807847
Fuck it, I'll bite. Why the dental floss anon?
>>29802691
Modern made stripper clips are general shit, if holding them properly like >>29807833 said, try taking a pair of pliers and lightly bending them wider, if you go too far they wont hold the ammo at all, and depending on which there may be extra retaining fins on the ends.
>>29811406
Thanks brahs
>>29807976
Classic Firearms still has M39s, which are objectively the best nugget that accepts a wide variety of ammo (glares at M27 and M28).
Pic related is my Tikkakoski M39.
>>29804081
that's sum fine finish on your mosin. Did you refinish it yourself?
>>29811870
>accepts a wide variety of ammo (glares at M27 and M28).
Lol no fucks given.
Such moist
So nugget
Nugget and Tok are my car guns
'52 Polish M44

My 10in barreled nugget.
>>29813288
can you not
>>29813295
you mad?
>>29813288
how substantial a fireball does it make
>>29813288
Ho-ly shit, that looks fun as fuck to shoot.
>>29813288
>shortening barrel
>not making obrez
3/10 see me after class
>>29801413
w2c that hat?
>>29813303
isn't it obvious?
>>29813317
pretty decent It's even better with military ammo
>>29813341
It is. Not so much when you forget one ear plug......
>>29813369
wrong photo, that is with military ammo. This is with reloads. Shit pictures but you get the idea.
>>29813288
That's some serious heresy you've got going on there, friendo.
I believe you should show yourself out.
>>29813369
>>29813393
>>29813288
did you do the threads yourself?
i have a roached out mosin i want to do something similar with but the barrel threading is where im stuck.
my choices are
1. just crown the barrel
2. spend $100 on an annular cutter
3.?
>>29813405
It was bubbad to shit when I got it. Sanded off finish, ground off sights, ATI stock inletted with a knife or teeth or something. Would have gone full obrez but the dang gubment won't allow it in my country.....
>>29813531
a friend has a lathe so he did it for me. The yugo brake is rebored for 5/8x24 as is the barrel.
>>29813584
>yugo brake is rebored for 5/8x24 as is the barrel
i was also thinking 5/8x28 so i can use 308 AR brakes.
unfortunately, im thinking a gunsmith would charge me too much for this project. i dont want to sink in a lot of money on a free fun gun. i guess ill just go with a no threads and wear sunglasses when i shoot
>>29813694
Fugg, wrong picture
Ive been curious, because they started the program of turning mosins into dedicated sniper rifles in 1942 would that mean that mosin made before that have the potential to be DMRs.
pic related my Mosin
and yes i know it looks like an oversized pellet gun the I guy i bought this from was a short guy who cut down the stock so it wasn't as heavy. because there is not place for a sling ive been thinking about buying a scabbard with a sling for it.
>>29813962
Only the highest scoring mosin (Singular) in a batch of 1000 would be designated for that.
>>29801841
Do pic related
This mine, finished it on Saturday. I bought a brass stacker, ~$65. Allows you to put a scope on without damaging the rifle, and you can still use the iron sights
What you do is punch the bottom pins out of the iron sight block, put the rail over it and put in the new pins/screws they give with it.
Comes with basically everything you need (rail mount, hole punch, drill to clean up the holes, Allen wrench to tighten) And instructions
Although you may need to use a MAP torch, because they usually used silver solder to put the pins in place, it will have to be melted. Takes 60 seconds and a vice to hold the barrel/reciever in
That scope isn't what I'll be using, just an airshit one. I wanted to see how it'd look. You'll need a nice long eye relief scout scope, because of the scope being so far forward on the rifle
My nugget, first rifle I have ever bought. Did I do ok /k/?
I got a p64 Makarov to go along with it. I can't afford a real Makarov :(
>>29814133
Some nice looking wood on that rifle anon
>>29813288
>>29801463
Find one locally you lazy fuck
>>29801413
Does anybody still sell these things for less than 120$
Seriously, these fucks cost 300-400$ these days on mainstream sites.
>>29812707
No, still how it was when I got it from a gunshow a couple years ago
>>29813962
>they started the program of turning mosins into dedicated sniper rifles in 1942
Russians first started their sniper program in the '20s.

Did something similar with a 46 m44, it was in kinda rough shape but the bore is good and it was 162 after tax the bolt is also Remington marked not sure how a bolt from a remington contract nugget ended up in a post war CAI import m44 but the bolt alone is worth probably close to what I paid for the rifle.
She's nothing too special, just a '43 91/30, all matching, but she appears to be hardly used; the rifling is great and there's still red paint on the rear sight and receiver.
>>29819259
The red paint was added at the arsenal where the rifle was stored after it was refurbished. Made it easier to see the numbers. Does it have /25\ mark?
>>29801413
Picked up a Mosin for $400 here in Aus. Matching numbers and fantastic barrel.
