Hi
So I have a 1942 Tula nagant and I would like to know what the value might be?
it is unfired out of crate, nice bore but a little dark.
numbers matching except bayonet and in a hardwood stock.
from my understanding the tula plant had been captured for awhile
during ww2 and under attack for most of the war, rumour has it anything that come from tula during wartime
left the factory shooting.
the serial number is 665 I believe, is that considered a low number?
thanks for your info.
it is only 3 numbers and it looks like K C 665
there is also a big number 10 stamped and the tula star is missing the arrow in the middle
I do not see any drill or tap holes or plugs or anything like that in the receiver, and the serials on the floor plate and butt are 665
also some of those parts are ishvek stamped

I've seen these at Canadian tire and Wholesale Sports for $180. Dealers will try to sell hex receivers at a premium though, so higher prices will be seen there.
 
3 digit tula serial numbers were only for sniper, does it have a C H at the top of the star?
Regular rifles have 4 digit serial number with 2 letter prefixes.
The tula factory moved in 1941 and those are quite rare. All other wartime years a as common as it gets.
Id say its worh 160-180$ with a dark bore.
 
Actually, pre-1942 rifles and 1942,1943,1944 were produced by different factories. Plant #314 was evacuated in 1941, and at the beginning of 1942 new factory, #536 was created. Few hundreds of rifles were produced in February, then each next month they increased production. But they are definetely uncommon.
Tre are many 1942Tula rifles that are not CH marked, but drilled for scope mount, or CH marked, but not drilled. Check the receiver from inside.

TULA 1942 #01.
This is an unusual rifle. It has the TULA stamp 1942 but looks like it was made at Izhevsk (metal finish, tool marks etc.). It has a crudely stamped 6 digit "serial number" which has been over stamped with the TULA mark and date. The same serial number is very neatly stamped on the under side of the barrel.
The underside of the tang has the number "2" upside down compared to the one digit date stamp on 1942 Izhevsk production. The top side of the tang had something on it that was crudely defaced with a chisel and now as a single Cyrillic letter. It is missing most inspection and proof marks.
My guess is that the barrel and receiver were made at Izhevsk and sent to he re-located Tula factory for set-up or training. Ordinarily these set up pieces are scrapped but "everything for the front" meant this one survived. Can't think of any other explanation.

I have one of the 1942 CH marked rifles that was never drilled for a scope. The receiver has all the features that a sniper receiver would have for that period. I just wish they had kept better records of production and what the markings mean and maybe even a video or two of the men and women making these.
