NEED HELP Tracing a Mosin Nagant 91/30

[TheTots]

Hey guys,

I am new to this forum as well as WWII weapons in general. Now, I just recently bought a 1944 Soviet Mosin Nagant 91/30 at a gun show and am trying to find out more about my specific gun! Once I found out that over 50 people (hopefully Nazi's in WWII) were killed with it, I'm on a historical journey to find out where this gun has been and what it has done. How I know (or think I know) a certain number of people were killed with this gun is that when a soldier killed someone in the war, they would make a small tap into the bolt with their knife signifying a kill. What I'm trying to find out is where can I go to type in the serial number of this gun and see where it's been and what it's done?


Thank you ALL in advance

I wont tell.

Not kills. Liters of vodka consumed.

The Russians made millions of these rifles if you count all the variants.

They were sent all over the world and reproduced by a number of different countries.

Aside from serial number blocks and specific arsenal stamps, I don't see how it would be possible for Russia to track them, even if they wanted to.

There is a great story about a Russian peasant family that worked in a soviet factory making 'bed frames'. They all slept on the floor and thought it would be nice to have a bed of their own, so every day they smuggled one part home until they had enough parts to make a finished product.

They just couldn't understand how they kept ending up with a complete AK47...

You will just have to use your imagination.

LOL! Great story!

Haha, thanks guys. What about this, the gun was made in 1944 (the last year of production) is what I found, and what about Russian/Soviet battles in this period till the end of the war?

Is this guy for real or trolling

How about I bought the gun at a gun show because I wanted a period piece to own. I don't know anything about the gun but it is fun to imagine the different things guns like this have done.

Since there were gazallion of the 91-30's made and used, tracing a gun throughout history will be tough. Got to 7.62X54r.net get more info on your
91-30. As suggested - make up something. Welcome to the C&R word!

I say the emperor has no clothes.

I don't see a picture of this "Bolt." Moreover, I doubt 50 notches would fit on a mosin bolt. Further, I have never heard of notching a bolt.. stock yes... but a bolt never. Finally, those mosin bolts are darn near indestructible, I doubt anyone would take the effort to try to notch that thing.

This is either trolling or OP has confused pitting with notching.

Lol... It just occurred to me what notching a bolt wound entail..

I doubt it could be done in the field. Not 50 times in a neat pattern anyway.

The bolt on a Mosin is a simple, clever and almost indestructible piece of engineering.

Pics, we need them.

ARGH!

I knew it.

At least now I know how many kills to credit my 91/30 with....

[NOTABIKER]

it might not have ever seen battle, or it might have seen a lot. and after the war all the parts were taken off and put in a pile. so maybe some parts did some killing and others saw no action, others might be on the receiving end of killing.
