The m44 is in. Numbers matching 1945 production laminate, though the upper hand guard looks like hardwood. Pics to follow

Yeah, I remember my first ...  Mosin Nagant!   Seems like just a couple weeks ago!   

Probably because it was!!   

Nice post pics when u can

Looks to be exactly what I wanted, laminate stock with all numbers matching, low wall from late 1945.

I guess I should cross-post my pics, just so they are in the Mosin thread!

Beautiful Tula Hex  . I want one thats been recycled into a carbine whether it be 38, 44, or 91/59.

looks like everyones posting




sorry i couldnt make it this past sunday. had to drive someone to the hospital last minute. i wont miss the next one!

i coated the bolt safety pull and bolt handle in rubber for grip and corrosion resistance 

Nice, what scope are you using, LER rifle or pistol?

I've never told a guy this but you guys have nice wood
Hey jaynick which mount is that?  The utg?

its a hi-lux 2-7x32 "rifle/scout" ler. mosin needs about 10-14 inches of eye relief and ive read most pistol scopes sweet spot for eye relief is about 14-18 inches since you would be holding your arms out extended while shooting a pistol. scout scopes sweet spots are about 10-14 inches of relief so i figured id try the hi lux since there arent many other options under $300.

yes its a UTG mount. had to trim the metal band off of the top handguard and knock off the factory rear iron sight to get to the dovetail. it remained solid after about 20 shots. if it doesnt hold, i forgot to drill a detent for the vertical set screw so if necessary ill temporarily "pin" it in place so it wont push forward from recoil.

glad someone noticed my wood 
ive spent countless hours wiping out the sticky "cosmoline," followed by bleaching the "dark areas", and rubbing it down by hand for many nights with something conveniently called tung oil 

Today was a blast.

Hey!  That ammo wrapper looks familiar!

It's addictive, shooting these Mosins!  How was the accuracy of yours today??

It was pretty accurate. Didn't have to adjust the sights, just need to adjust to the rifle. I probably shouldn't have fired it 25-30 times, but the obnoxiously loud report and giant fireballs are addictive.

Need more ammo

"This is my boom stick" how many pics did you have to take to get this awesome shot?...
So how's your shoulder?

What's the going rate at OGC for a full spam can? My buddy with a type 53 on the way wants to stock up.

Just picked up a mosin pu sniper. Does anyone have go, no go gauges that I can use to check headspace?
