Mosin Nagant

[Ryan Hoelzer]

Any Mosin Nagant fans here? I picked this one up at an auction yesterday. I knew very little about it before I bought it but have done a lot of googling last night and this morning

From what I can tell, it's Russian, 1946, imported by W Hurst.

Has an aftermarket ATI stock and modified bolt. I haven't tried to remove it but not sure what the allen bolt is for, it looks like it's welded. Rail added.The muzzle break is aftermarket right? And has this barrel been extended?

Good for you. They certainly get the job done and quite accurate with the correct ammunition. Not sure if you’re a reloader but if you are I strongly encourage you to slug the bore. There is such a variation between rifles that RCBS includes two different expander balls in their die sets. I have two and one is right at .308 while the other measures .312.

Big Mosin fan here, they’re a lot of fun.

Owned 3, gave 1 away, sold the other 2. Never had one that shot with any degree of accuracy. Sure there are some out there but I haven’t found them.
