I know my wtb a mosin thread is getting off topic I'm gonna lock it up.
Figured I ceate a place for us to post up pics and share ideas.

Sooo I added another mosin today.  A 1943 iz 91/30 in good condition still in cia packing from years ago.


So that makes 3 bought this month:
-1944 IZ m44
-1933 IZ 91/30 hex
-1934 IZ 91/30 round

Need to find me a nice finnish m38 next

I think you really need that C&R!

My three new Mosins are in pieces now.  All the short pieces are in a pan, and the barrels are in PVC pipes with one end capped.  I'm going to soak them in mineral spirits this weekend and get them super clean! 

The stocks will be wrapped and left in the hot sun.  I read heat is the best method of getting the cosmoline out of the wood pores.

I'm debating about refinishing the stocks.  I think I'll wait until after I test fire them.  Varnishing will take longer than I want to wait before seeing if they shoot straight.  Yeah, I'm impatient, too!!   

Nice!  Salutes go out to Iraqverteran for the mosin tips.
I've been rubbing down the wood with howards feed amd wax.
I did the hot boilng water today with simple green.  Like a moron i decided to hold the front site hood and poyr boiling water.  Bad idea my fingers now hate me.

I got this new piece at a damn good price. I thought it was in okay condtion when I spoke to the seller but it cleaned up nice.  I'd rate it good to vg condtion.   Bore came out very strong.   I was planning on chopping this one up and making a 16" beast mosin truck gun.  But condtion might me too nice to do that.

Moose post pics!

Thanks for starting this thread Bigk. Should be receiving a call from OGC tomorrow to pick up my M44 laminate, pictures to follow.

Range day this sunday if you guys wanna meet up

Howzit kahuna

i want an m44 laminate next. im jealous!

i have a '43 91/30 with a 2x7-32 hi lux scope with 1 piece scope mount on the weaver under the factory rear iron sight. used to have a bushnell trs-25 on it. red dot wouldve matched a 38 or 44 more.

Range day this sunday if you guys wanna meet up

if i can make it id love to meet up for a bit to see other mosins. my scope isnt perfectly zeroed though. if anyone has a laser boresighter for a mosin i could borrow for a moment, ill let them try some expensive renaissance wax on their wood stock 

Were shooting for 10 am sunday the 21st.  Pm if you wanna come by ill give you my number.
I only have 1 rifle frame hopfully someone can bring another so we can shoot at 50 or 100.  Even better of we can get a stall inline with the steel targets.

What mount did I buy jaynick?  I'm looking at the brassstacker or the jmeck.  Only prob is I need a bent bolt if I choose to use a long rifle scope.  The best guy for the bolts "boltman" is backed up 3 months.

Sup midori nice meeting you today at hpd

Ummm....If we're talking April 2013, then that would be Sunday the 21st

 

Lol corrected date

Man, I wish I could hit up the range on weekends. Have fun

now you need a m38 and 91/59 

now you need a m38 and 91/59 

I hope to come across a nice finnish m38 and hopefully a sniper.  I'm awaiting my c&r I should know in the next week or 2. 

I hope to have a mosin shoot gathering once every few months more often if the turnout gets good.

M38 and 91/59 are the other 2 Russian carbine variants. Your thinking Finnish m39.....WANT 
Mosin shoot out should be fun, a coworker of mine decided to get  a Type 53 when I told him I got my M44 and I'm hoping to find an M39 in the next couple months.

Sunlight sounds good but I am also far too impatient. Akimbo heat gun and blow dryer when I need to remove cosmo, though I do hope my m44 is clean, fingers crossed.

Lol good catch the Finnish is 28 or 39 while the russian is m38.
Soo many to collect so little room in the safe.

Next shoot well plan in adavnce so more time for people join the koko head red army shooter fans

I had to look it up but there were some finnish captured m38's. Pretty rare though.
Any chance you'll be able to go to the range on a Thursday? Otherwise I guess I'll have to start a weekday surplus rifle faction.

I'm sure I can take a day off in the future.  Hopefully we get this going we can plan in advance so we can all meet up.  I also would like to get a ar500 12" plate to shoot.  I'm worried that the 7 62x54 round may make swiss chese out of a 3/8 plate.  I would go 1/2 but price jumps and I still need to build a frame

I've got 4" 6" and 8" ar500 plates. I was planning on adding a 10" or 12" hexagonal plate. Now I have a reason.

Nice where did u order them from?  How did u build the stand frame?

I've been weary about some of the surpluss ammo that some guys state that they have brought surpluss ammo and unknowingly it was AP ammo (armor pericing) which will kill a 1" plate
