New Mosin Nagant

[patbax2]

Went to see the parents last weekend and my dad gave me a mosin nagant he picked up a while back. After some research it looks to be a hungarian m44. I got it home and cleaned it up and it seems to be in pretty good shape. Can't wait to try it out. The rear sight is gone because someone put this red dot scope on it, but thats coming off soon. Anyone know where I can find the rear sight for it?

Nice!

I'd like to get one of these, but I know nothing about them. I'll have ot wait until I'm with someone who knows what to look for, so I don't buy a pile of junk.

Your rear sight can be found somewhere in a field in Europe.

I will look through my parts this weekend. I may have an m44 rear sight. It will be Russian or Chinese, but they will all interchange. Do you also need the spring and pin?

Thanks. I don't really know how they are made but I guess I need everything to do with it. There is nothing there at all, just a place for it.

Get you a can of Bulgarian yellow-tip heavy ball surplus. It will rock your world in that little carbine. The muzzleblast and fireball will make the AR guys at the range stare in dis-belief and then just hang their heads in shame.

Judging by the scope I think you have the Spetznaz edition, carried by troops in Chechnya....

[patbax2]

yeah yeah the scope is coming off as soon as i find some sights

Be sure and buy a bottle of "Sweet's 7.62" cleaner. I scrubbed and scrubbed with Hoppe's, Outer's foaming bore cleaner and even soapy water, but the Sweet's cleaned my Mosin like nothing else in 20 minutes.

Enjoy the new rifle, it'll put a smile on your face!

I have a couple of MN 91/30's. They are dependable old rifles. They are accurate enough, but long and heavy. Fun to shoot. Surplus ammo is still cheap.

PatBax, try tennessee gun parts, on the web. They carry MN parts. Failing that, there is a good chance we could work out a swap of some sort - your scope/mount for a rear sight and some ammo, maybe?

TDR, you gotta gotta gotta make it to an East TN shoot. Bring your daughter, we'll set her up with a her-sized 22 rifle guaranteed to put a smile on anyones' face (except Sarah Brady, who'll cry )

Thanks a lot. They had a rear sight assembly with everything i need:bowrofl:

You might want to invest in a slip-on butt pad. I got mine pretty cheap at bass pro and it helps a ton.

[Mark@Sea]

You're welcome. Enjoy the rifle (and the whole cheap ammo thing). Wideners, Johnson City, has a good price on the ammo, and if you aren't close they do a lot of mail order. They are also on the web...

[bajabuc]

if that scope is original...DING! We have a winner! Don't take it off before you get it checked. On the other hand...if it's an addon...

The M38/M44 sight is different length than the 91/30. If it's missing anyway, I would highly recommend one of these:

Ask for the M38/M44 sight.
