I just recently got this m44 and have been trying to figure out the serial numbers on it. This is my first Mosin and I’m not entirely sure on the markings and from what I’ve seen they can kinda be all over the place. If anyone knows a serial number of this line that’d be great.

So are Accumounts pretty much the old standard for repo PU scopes? I have one of their 26.5mm mounts that I got at an estate sale and it's pretty well built I am wondering if the scopes are of the same quality.

Side tangent, has anyone else run into a case where the PU scope mount was bored out to 1 inch? (The gentleman I bought it from was the one who did it)

•Could a regular mosin bayonet fit onto it?

•We're they ever issued to infantry, or were they purely non-combatant weapons?

•Are they rarer than the m91/30?

I appreciate any help. I'm still trying to make my dumbass mind up on which to get lmao. Though I am considering getting an M44 instead since it would be the best of both worlds, it'll cost me a bit more than the other two, though.

u/floxxomer posted about "The End" and u/TacticalCowboy_93 said he couldn't bring himself to do it. I've had this old messed up stock and said I'd do it. I'm planning on getting another barreled action to throw in this god awful thing.

I really hate to admit but its comfortable to hold, and I made it in 5 mins

Trying to get some more info on the rough value and rarity of this model if any one has any more info I would be very appreciative!

I've played with a few adapters in other guns, I understand they have limits. Have been thinking about one of these for awhile for use in a m39 anybody here tried the shooters box version?

My uncle gave this to me many years ago, I’ve shot it a few times, and it’s still accurate as a laser! I’d love to know more about it.

THANKS!

Title says it all, I'm considering between a Finn M39 and a M91/30 Sniper, and I don't know which one to pick. They're both at around the same price points, and I have a few criteria I'd like to meet.

Required -Near 1.5 MOA at 100 meters -Hit 8x8 target at 400 meters -Good sights, whether irons or scope -Be able to use sling as shooting support -Better than standard trigger

Preferred -Not overheat like a regular M91/30 after 5 shots -Avoid rimlock -Prefer heavier grain ammo (170+) -Smooth bolt for a Mosin Nagant

Which one do y'all think would fit my needs better?

Happy Thanksgiving

Just bought my first Mosin and broke it down to inspect the areas covered by the stock and its in pretty nice shape. When I went to remove the action screws however they came out fairly easily but the threads on the screw and where they go were a bit crusty with rust. Cleaned off the screw threads with brake cleaner and a wire brush. They thread back into the gun nicely... do you guys put any type of light oil or antiseize on these or just send them back in dry? I live in Arizona so new rust formation is unlikely but trying to keep the gun as nice as possible since they aren't 80 dollars anymore. Also is it better to tighten up the front or rear screw first or does it not really matter other than trying to keep them mostly equal? Thanks.

Anyone know where to get dummy rounds for a mosin? Seen some on eBay for like $17 for 5 but didn’t know if anyone knew a cheaper place.

Just wondering if they made any pu scopes in 1960. Seen one and thought it may be repro.
