    A little help with my mosin? (markings related)

    Okay I bought a mosin earlier this year and been up and down websites just trying to figure out what the marking was. Between bad eyesight and all, I'm pretty sure its an Izhevsk, but was hoping a calgunner mosin guru could tell me if I'm right or wrong.

    Not much to go on with those pics, other than it's a Russian Mosin 91/30 made in 1933. Get a pic of ALL the markings on the top and sides of the receiver.

        My esteemed colleague Mr. Jarhead has linked you the Mosin guru site. Look long and careful, and you will find out what you want to know.

        Edit: Nice Fallout Boy Avatar. I have not seen that one before.

          It's an Izhevsk. You can tell by the wreath with hammer & sickle above the year. at the base of the barrel shank will be a triangle with an arrow inside, that is the mark of the Izhevsk factory The sling slots indicate it has been restocked, since the slots have pressed-in guards instead of the original screwed in escutcheons.

          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.
