    Deal of the decade. Hell, I'd pay $150 for a plain '38 Tula 91/30, especially if it was Emptymag's money. More so if it's all matching.

    WRT chamber mark: Need my glasses updated, could very well be a "6"

    Hush now, don't want scare 'em off in case it *is* a sniper. I'm trying to gin up some BS story how CN means "Catastrophic Next"...catastrophic-failure mark. "Natch, we'll unload the junk for a nominal disposal fee.

    Guys, thank you all for the information and advice. I just have to ask about cleaning the barrel on my Mosin. Both the rod the rifle came with and my 3 piece rod are too short to clean the rifle from the bore so I resorted to cleaning from the muzzle. I was always told though that cleaning from the muzzle can damage the crow and effect my accuracy. So can you tell me the best way to clean the Mosin? From the bore or the muzzle? If from the bore how?

    As I thought. Early sling eustachian = prewar mfg. Star = Tula. 1938 dated.

    Nice pre-war Tula. If you ever tire of this rifle, you'll have no trouble selling it to a collector.

    The "C" on the chamber above the star piques my curiosity...is the a corresponding "N" on the other side of the chamber? If so, please move closer to the screen so that I may strike you easier.

    Ya done good, kid. Real good.

    I had no idea this Mosin was special at all, I don't know what the C or any of the markings mean. The only thing that perplexed me was the receiver is round but the rifle was made in 1938. I didn't think they went to round receivers until after the start of WWII. Can you guys please educate me to what you see in the rifle? I took more pictures of those markings you're talking about:





    Thanks BTW.
    Sanity, yours if you can keep it.....

    A "CN" above the star would indicate that it had once been a sniper rifle, which means it would probably be more accurate than most and would have been drilled for a scope mount. It would also cost a LOT more than $150.

    Round receivers were introduced in 1930, when it became the 91/30 (model of 1891 revision of 1930.

    They were hex at Tula until 1936

    I should have figured that, thanks.

    Only two years too late, I am just thrilled I got a pre-war rifle as the build quality/appearance is probably better.

    Your rifle looks great, congrats!

    With regards to what some have said about shoulder pain from the recoil, might I suggest doing what I do? I set the manly manliness aside and got an inexpensive leather and Velcro adjustable recoil pad. Makes shooting soooo much more comfy for my tender shoulder. Much nicer than cold commie steel hitting me repeatedly. . And I can switch it from one milsurp to another without altering anything.

    Again, congrats on the nice rifle.
    I'm faster than Doc Holliday (with Novocaine of course)

    I want to order the accessory kit for my rifle since I didn't get the little tools, a bore brush, the muzzle cap, etc. While I am placing that order I am thinking of getting a recoil pad. Would you recommend any particular brand or style?

    Ive seen one that replaces factory metal plate and reuses two factory screws. Dont have a link at the moment.

    Man-up, The recoil isn't that bad unless you have a preconceived notion that it is. Place the butt firmly against the shoulder and enjoy the recoil. Range time and proper technique will alleviate the need for a recoil pad. The exagerated retort may give you a misconception of extreme recoil. Good ear protection will help with this misconception.
