Type 53 Mosin parts needed

[Gummy]

I need both barrel band retainers for a Type 53 Mosin. Mine were paper thin from rust on the backside. They looked fine on the exposed side. Anybody have some extras for sale or trade? They don't need to be pretty. Thanks

I 'may" have a couple spares in my parts bin. Let me look. Where are you located?

Eastern shore. South of Salisbury.

I do have a spare pair. One is a Tula star marked, the larger band I think, and the smaller band is an Isvhesk (sp?). I can mail them if interested, but probably won't make it to the post office until the middle of the week, Wed or Thurs. But, if you want them, I'll keep them for you.

I need the pieces that keep the bands in place not the bands themselves. Sorry for not being clear in my post. Thanks for looking.

Ah, sorry. I'll look.

I don't know much about Mosin's either but I think they would work.

speaking of needing parts,

Does anyone have (or know where I can get) the small top stock piece that covers the top of the barrel. I was de-cosmolining the new one I got Friday and it fell apart in my hands after I took the bands off

Chinese T-53

the handguard was almost rotted or like it had been soaked in water at some point and was really weak. The cosmo under it acted like glue and when I tried to pull it from the barrel the wood just fell apart.

Not sure it belonged on this gun as the bore and metal are actually quite good. Not dark or rusty. So its not like the front half of the gun was sitting in a lake or anything.

Very much appreciate the link!

If it was an original T-53 h/g it was likely chu wood - a lot different than used on Ruskie Mosins. Most (but not all) M-44 parts are interchangeable with T-53's since the '53 is a copy. I'd try an M-44 h/g which shouldn't be too hard to find.

I've seen some new repro M44 hand-guards in ebay and listed by a couple venders. They will probably fit but may look a bit out of place on an old beat up T53. I am on the lookout for one too for my U-Fix-Em T53's with half a handguard.

 

[why2kmax]

The link Doc posted has M44 hand guards which should fit. Not cheap though, About $30 or so with shipping. I may try a few shows to see if I can pick one up cheap but that link is always a great backup.

In that case, try this link. Depending on the wood used on the stock, it may or may not match, but it will work. Most of the Chinese Type 53s that are coming in now are cobbled together anyway. [Edit: Oops ... just saw that you had already seen that link. Yeah ... use it for a backup. That sort of thing also pops up now and then on eBay, so check there. You may also want to call the place you got it from, explain the situation, and ask if they have one parted out that you can buy from them. They inevitably get defective rifles returned, and often will sell you (or sometimes give you) a replacement part from one of those. It depends on the company.]

I got an old T53 stock that should have the band spring in then as well. I can check the condition tonight and let you know.
