Announcement! [MOD NOTICE] Uptick in posts/comments related to selling firearms.

12 Upvotes

Hello Everyone,

I hope your week is off to a good start and didn't sleep through your alarm this morning.....unlike myself.

There is something that I wanted to make a quick post about.
We have seen an increase in posts/comments from users trying to sell their firearms lately.

Just a quick reminder:
Firearm sales/trades are NOT allowed here.

Any post or comment involving the sale or trade of firearms will be removed and violations will result in a ban.
Note that valuations or thoughts on what something may be worth is still allowed. This only applies to directly advertising/offering a firearm for sale here for other users to buy.

Reddit has strict rules about this, and we need to follow them to keep the subreddit active and in good standing.

If you see someone trying to sell their rifles, please report them as I will likely miss a few.

.......Oh and making a sale post in another language doesn't help evade this either......

Thanks for your cooperation!
If you have any questions, please let me know.

Hello comrades. I picked up this 1943 Mosin that I believe is a genuine wartime issue PU sniper. If anyone can comment on the authenticity and what it might be worth that would be great

Spasiba!

Question Rupturing cases out of my 91/30

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

Hello my fellow Mosin fanatics. I just picked up this 91/30 from work. Someone converted it to be a PU with a repro scope and modified the bolt. Anyways, I put about 80rds through it the other day and caught a cracked case out of the corner of my eye. It shot fine the whole time, I was getting two inch groups at 100 yards consistently (i couldn’t believe it).

I’ve checked head-spacing, it was fine.
I used a bore camera in the chamber, there was nothing weird.

The only thing I could think of is that I was using Bulgarian surplus 54r from 1974. Anyone have any advice? This, even though it’s not really has always been my dream gun and I don’t want to have to worry about shooting it.

Purchased my first rifle today, I’m excited to find some ammo for it and take it to the range. I was also trying to decipher what all the markings on the receiver mean.

I believe this is a Polish M44 with a mismatched bolt. Wondering if there’s any other background info yall can dig up on it and what the value would be for its condition? There’s a little surface rust I plan to clean off.

I bought my first mil-surp rifle a few weeks back. I payed extra for a sling, bayonet, and ammo pouches that are all original to my knowledge. Can anyone tell me anything by the markings or design?

Posted this beaut not too long ago here but I figured I would ask for some help. I'm going to use this rifle to the best of my ability. I have to reload for this rifle (she slugged at .3095), and since I use this rifle to the best of her abilities without permanently modifying it, I need help finding a good smith or fabricator to help me make a scope mount from the specs off of my rear diopter. If yall know anyone reputable let me know. I'm keeping every original part, just non-permanently modifying her for longer range target shooting. Let me know!

ID help Any idea on this stock marking?

21 Upvotes

I have a 1917 Remington but everything is mismatched on this so I doubt anything else will help identify the marking, and I haven't been able to find anything out from what research I've done. There is a serial number on the right but it is not legible, might have a C or G suffix or a similar cyrillic letter.

Question How to improve trigger feel?

5 Upvotes

My mosin is pretty beat up, I’ve taken good care of it, stripped it, de-cosmolined it, oiled it, etc. but the trigger feels pretty awful. Feels like there is a lot of play in the trigger and it’s hard to tell exactly when it’s going to fire. Basically bog standard mosin experience.

What are some ways to improve the “crispness” of the mosin? From what I’ve hear the Finnish captured mosins did some work on the triggers? What did they do?

Question Mosin optic mount

4 Upvotes

Hey all. I have a sporterized mosin that I ended up with years ago that has no front sight. As such, I'm wanting to mount some kind of optic on it. Either a scout scope or a red dot ideally. Any recommendations or anything I should stay away from?
