I just picked up my second firearm ever, a Russian Mosin-Nagant M91/30. It's a little beat up on the hand guard, but looks to be in good shape as far as the important parts are concerned. It also looks to have all-matching numbers! (Although it's not technically "all-matching" because of a importer's barrel stamp...) I wanted to share my find and also ask for any advice about these rifles. If anyone has anything to share about them, please do! I just picked it up yesterday, and have questions regarding the markings on it, as well as tips and suggestions for shooting, cleaning, and protecting this neat historical firearm.
(P.S. I have plenty of pics of the markings on the stock and metal parts, if anyone's interested. Just let me know and I'll post 'em!)
So... enough of the chit chat! Here she is:
This last one's a little tough to see, but there are some strange markings on the tang behind the bolt. It looks like a circle with a star in it or something. But it also appears there's a triangle stamped over that, and another triangle with possibly an arrow above those markings, and some numbers or letters to the right of that marking. I have no idea what they are.
