I have an 1891/59 as posted the other day. I'm shooting 6 inches high at 100yrds. Anything I can do? I don't want to file the bottom of the rear sight, maybe just a piece of heat shrink tubing on the front sight post to bring it up? What is everyone's thoughts?

I have a 91/30 with matching parts and stock and a good friend gave me his m44 stock. Thinking of using the m44 stock to take it out to the range and hunting so I don’t mess up the original. Would that be an issue? It fits ok and the barrel is free lmao

Felt bad for taking this little one. Had a goal for a doe. Walked about 30 yards away from me broadside from the meadow you see behind me. Nibbling at the ground. Nevertheless, it’s a tag and I wasn’t just gonna leave him there. Thought it was an illegal kill after I saw his antlers when he jumped and kicked, but thankfully he wasn’t. That’s on me. I should’ve let him walk a few yards further. But at least he’s legal. A little disappointed because it was my first deer. But I’m still walking away prideful. 1., because I used my grandfathers m44 mosin nagant, 1946. And 2., because I drug it back to my truck about 480 yards away with nothing but me, myself and my skinny little behind. In case anyone is wondering, I used ppu 7.62x54r soft point boat tail. SPBT.

Is it steel core?

So I'm new to mosins now that thats out of the way. I came across a 1948 mosin at a pawn shop and want to know about getting upgrades for it i.e. a turned town bolt handle or an archangel stock (or other brands/styles if they exist). I plan on keeping everything I replace/upgrade so if down the line I want to put it back original I can but I just can't really find a comprehensive list of any sorts that's helpful.

Like my original post, my Uncle gave this to me. That was actually in 1990 when I came back to the states from being stationed in Germany.

I took pictures of all the symbols I could find.

THANK YOU ALL for your help IDing this bad-boy!

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)
