My 1938 Tula Mosin Nagant

Abraxaslotus · Mar 17, 2013

Hello fellow members. I got this 1938 tula mosin a few years back for $160 (thought that was pricey then :rolleyes:

). I see we got a bunch of mosin experts on here and I am sorta of a history nut. Just wanted to see what you guys and gals could tell me about it. Have a bad rust spot under import mark and this black paint seems to be on spots where rust was in the past, obvious refurb. The bore is excellent, slayed several deer with it. Most accurate mosin I have ever shot!

Well, I like it. Nice thing about the prewar 91/30's is that they better finished than the post 1942 ones.(they however have their own charm) Granted the Soviet's idea of a smooth finish and that of some of the other arms makers (the Swiss come to mind) are entirely at different ends of the spectrum. The big old Tula 'Star' just shouts "I Serve the Soviet Union" Very nice piece.

I'll give ya $170.00 for it. That way you can say you made a profit!! LOL Nice Mosin. I am looking for a Tula.

The parts with the circled R are made by Remington. An early Liberty Arms import, their more recent imports say Victoria TX. The square stamped over the No. symbol indicates it has been through arsenal refurbishment, and because it was prewar, the fit and finish tends to be better. The real nice part about these are the much smaller import marks, rather than being those huge "billboard" marks on most recent imports.

Yes, but parts were often swapped around and force matched as part of the refurb process. You have some ww1 era bolt assembly part(s) in there.
