The American Mosin Nagants

[DaveTN]

Anyone have one of the Remington or Westinghouse made MN’s?

That would be cool to have in a collection.

I had a Remington Mosin Nagant for years.I paid $30 for it.It had the barrel shortened to 20 in. for sporting use.The only ammo available was made by Norma and it was around $40 a box.I sold it for $50 years later and it was not 6 months after that surplus 7.62x54 ammo came on the market.Oh well,

I just bought a Westinghouse MN from AIM, actually about 2 weeks ago. Nothing special except it is in good condition and I worked for Westinghouse at one time. Had heard of the existence of these rifles from several old timers in the company. I'm assuming they also heard it from old timers.

This is my brothers, it's a Remington Mosin he bought 30 years ago. Sombody did a number on the stock.

That one looks like it's a candidate for a new stock!

A few of my NEW's have been pictured on http:/7.62x54r.net . The owner of the website is a friend and sometimes seems obsessed with having every variation, no matter how minor. While looking over a couple of mine, he noticed that the NEW stampings on the barrel shanks were a bit different. Next thing you know, he's got pictures of numerous variations . . . .

I've not been so lucky with acquiring Remington M91s. Only 1 at present IIRC.

That's really cool

I was unaware that Remington and Westinghouse had manufactured Mosins.

My brother just bought the reciever, the stock was from another Mosin. After searching pics of Remington Mosin's I realized someone has modified this one, chopped some of the barrell off and added a front sight not seen on any Mosin's. The American Mosin's had the longer barrell.

Front Sight

They bent the bolt handle also.

It's accurate though, my brother has taken two deer with it.
