Mosin Nagant 91/30 - 1934 Tula This is my first military surplus rifle, and I love it! I am new to collecting milsurp firearms. I am hoping to get an Enfield or Mauser next, and work my way up to an M-1.
Great first choice! You got a good looker and it won't eat you out of house and home to shoot it. If you like the Moisin you'll love the Enfield or that Mauser but once you shoot those buttery bolt actions you might not go back to the Russkie....
I have 2 M91/30s (one with a laminated stock), one M44 and one M91/59. It seem they like to multiply. I think you will enjoy it (them, eventually). tom
Nice! Where did you get it? I've picked up several of them from a local sporting goods store...a couple of them I got for 79 bucks. I prefer the Mauser to the Enfield, personally. You'll never regret buying and taking care of a good gun. If you are shooting 70's era Czech ammo, clean your rifle after you are done shooting it, right away. Some of that crap can be highly corrosive and destroy a gun very quickly.
That is a fine looking gun there and I hope you enjoy it........now I want to go to big cities and see what I might find.....you have to be careful or you can spread a bug showing pics like that....at our local gun store I can't afford to look.
