My Mosins showed up today! At the neighbour's house, but that's OK, he's cool and a shooter too. Got a 43 Izzy and a 35 Tula with hex receiver, and I have to say they both exceeded expectations. Wood is about as close to perfect as I've ever seen on a Mosin, bayonets fit nice and snug and everything else is about where it should be. My only complaint is that the 35 has about the stiffest trigger pull I've ever seen, but that's hardly the fault of anyone on this continent and easily improved with a few layers of beer can tin. Pics after the weekend hunt! Now I'm off to drink my way towards some free trigger shim material, happy weekend all!
I picked up a 1936 izzy from a local dealer who stocks westrifle guns. Very nice finish on the outside and only minor frosting on the inside. I picked this one over an utterly minty '43 izzy because from what I understand '36 was the first year for the round receiver being in full production.
Plus I like the low wall receiver and pre war finish better than the rough machining of the war years.
Plus plus... This rifle was on sale for $40 less than the other one was
Well I hope you liked it.
damn now I want a mosin!
