CanadaAmmo Mosins

I ordered that set as well. The Mosin that came was in great shape. Wood was a lot better then I expected and it was oil stored not cosmoline so cleanup was a snap. I've been tempted to order 1 or 2 more to have around.

Well, the bore is frosty. Doesn't look really bad, lots of rifling. Shooting may shine it up a bit. Typical sticky bolt but I'm checking Youtube for solutions. I might do some trigger work on it as well.

Here's a photo of the information that was glued to the inside of the lid of the ammo crate.

Most of them are frosted because few were given a new barrel and they were all used in war, nothing to worry about!

Not true but most people cant tell the difference between renumbered parts & original serials.

Actually, it is true. The overwhelming majority of Mosin-Nagants that were exported went through refurbishment, many have mismatched parts all over and many numbers were force matched. Sometimes with a stamped matching part the font is wrong, the Cyrillic prefix is missing or there is evidence of grinding, this tells you it was forced.

If you have a rifle, say a Tula check every marked part: barrel bands, band springs, nose cap, interrupter, extractor, cocking piece, etc, etc they will probably have an assortment of arsenal stamps because they often made no effort to match those parts.
