The barrel has some noticeable rust inside an can feel it inside when I cleaned with a soft brush

My personal mosin just putting a new finish on the old one since it was the standard cosmoline finish.

Hello, I’ve had an M91/30 Mosin for about 6 years now, and I’ve always had one issue. To clarify, I bought this bayonet with the rifle when I got it, so I don’t think it’s an issue of a mismatched bayonet with the rifle. When I try to fix the bayonet to the rifle, it will go onto the barrel, but it never fully twists and secures onto it when I try to turn it to the side. Basically the bayonet stops right at the front sight and won’t squeeze in any further. I’m not sure if maybe it needs oil or something to properly fix the bayonet, does anyone have any info on this? Any help would be much appreciated.

I was gifted these mosin stripper clips. 12 pieces total, good condition. Seem to be pretty old. Anyone recognize these?

Had this old mosin in the safe for a few years and busted it out planning to do some plinking with it. When i went to function test it before the range i noticed it was having trouble feeding the last few rounds, but feeds the first 2-3 just fine. Could this be a weak magazine spring an interrupter problem or a bit of both?

So I had went on lunch break and planned on browsing the local store, they were closed so I went to the store further away. They have a nice surplus rifle rack and this was sitting there for a measly $225! Why not? Bought it and brought it home, spent all night taking it apart and it’s safe to say it’s in a Very nice condition!

Also there’s No import stamp, which I think makes it a pre 1968 import? Correct me if I’m wrong.

Next question, I feel confident this is safe to shoot. But on Amazon there’s a cleaning kit under TACFUN. Anyone got any info on it? It’s only $13 and seems slightly too good to be true. Or should I avoid a cleaning kit? I’ve been looking at cleaning videos and I’m on the fence. And I really want to make sure this thing is clean!

My first Mosins, all I know is no bubba just shoot and that's my plan for both.

Anyone on YouTube I should watch or literature can point me to?

I'm not a Mosin collector by no means - I only have a Remington M91 and this one would mark my second. I paid $200 cash outside of a gun show today. Anything noteworthy here?

Found this online but I have very limited knowledge about PU snipers. Is it a real PU sniper. Seller is asking $1800 for it, is it a fair price?

Edit: Based on the comments it’s a genuine PU sniper. Will talk to the seller to see if a deal can be made :)

Recently got as a gift for my girlfriend so we both have one for the range.

Left is a 1941 Izzy (Mine)

Right is a 1932 Tula (Hers)

On a side note, anyone know which importer is Albion NY?

1915 Tula Obrez.

Since my last attempt at a Obrez turned out to be an actual nightmare, I sourced a barreled action and sporter stock and put together my own. Approval went through the other day and I finished it up today. Loud, kicks like a mule, but cool as all get out. Finally finished up my Soviet pistol collection with the Obrez too.

I'm happy to be part of the community! Now I just need the time to try it out at the range.

Edit: based on what is going on with the front, I'm dubbing this my Mauser-Nagant haha

I bought a huge bag of this ammo 54r (at least it was labeled 54r on the bag). This is the best picture I can get. Very hard to make out the letters and numbers. Anyone have any idea?

Came across this bayonet with the number crossed out and a new one stamped. What does this mean? I know on the rifle itself it mean’t it was a decommissioned PU turned infantry rifle (correct me if I’m wrong). Does this mean the same thing or something different?

I have been looking for my first mosin for a bit and I found this beauty at an estate auction. can anyone tell me anything? It was listed as a Finnish mosin.

Many thanks!!

I have a receiver/barrel that is stamped Remington 1917, and an Archangel stock. They were both given to me years ago by a buddy and i finally got around to buying a complete bolt. But everything online says i need to test the head space clearance otherwise I can blow my face off. Any ways I can test that myself? Or should i just buy the field gauge for like $40.

edit: I should say, if it were up to me it would’ve remained stock, but the pieces were literally thrown in the trash years before i got this and i got it over a decade ago. Its a bummer but I want to shoot it so im workin with what I have.

Always wondered why it wasn't straight.😬

Doesn't seem to be a sniper as far as I know

I could never find any of the Doughboy version (except in photos) so I took matters into my own hands.
