So i bought a mosin nagant from big 5 today and the date said 1934 but had to be wrong as it has a round receiver. What year did they start this. I hope i didn't read this wrong because i was really hoping for a pre ww2 one.

That is about right. There was some overlap round vs. hex.
They certainly weren't going to mark it earlier than they made it. If so, you have a rare collectable worth..........oh............$200!*REMOVE THIS PART BEFORE POSTING* -
Thanks for me its not about being worth alot just wanted a pre ww2 as they didn't have to be pumped out fast for the war. Was just hoping for a little better built.Last edited by SinisterBud; 11-25-2011, 5:42 PM."Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value."Comment

Congrats on the purchase. Not many of us are really "investors". If we were, we wouldn't be buying rifles that were cranked out by the millions. I think that is what Paul was alluding to.
Still, it is a good rifle and you now belong to a good group of people that care about historic, if not rare items. That thing has probably been to hell and back. It deserves a nice long retirement from the rigors of war. Shoot it well, keep it clean. Enjoy it.

Tula started with round receivers in 1936, Izhevsk in 1935.
however, "recycled" receivers are not unheard of. these are older receivers paired to new WWII era everything elseComment

i understand that but wouldn't that mean there is no 1934 with a round receivers because any thing before 35 would be hex "recycled" receivers from 34 and blow should be hex right.Last edited by SinisterBud; 11-25-2011, 6:41 PM."Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value."Comment

or it was put together in 1935 with a left over barrel from 1934. Of course we are all just guessing until the OP gets it home and takes it apart to see what the tang date is and verify the barrel date.That's right. So either the rifle you bought was really a "hex" receiver and you didn't notice, or you read the date wrong.NRA Life Member - CRPA Life Member - NRA Certified RSO - USN Veteran
I collect Military Arms and enjoy shooting in local matches. I also collect older Lever Actions, especially those chambered in odd/old cartridges. If you have a nice old Winchester or Marlin in 25-20, 32-40, 38-55, 40-60, 45-70, etc etc, please PM me and we can work out a deal.

it's an Izhevsk"Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value."Comment
) and a triangle with an arrow in it, it's an Izhevsk. If it has a big star with an arrow in it, it's a Tula.
