looking for mosin nagant info

[titan033]

Hey everyone

I'm looking for a bit of information on my Mosin Nagant.

i believe it is a Russian Tula(?) made rifle in 1922. but that's all i can gleam off it. It has a matching bolt but the bore is a bit dark but the rifling is strong though and it is counter bored.

One thing i don't want to ever do again is clean the cosmoline off one of these rifles ever again. and don't get me started about cleaning a few wars worth of crud in the barrel lol.

Also it has a few markings that i think it is a square with an "A" in it but looks like there might be another letter before it. also anotehr stamp as well.

Here is some pics of a few of the markings and some general pics.

It looks like a Finn capture Tula M91. That a in the box looks like it has an s in front of it. SA is the mark for a Finn capture. Check out http://7.62x54r.net/
Lots of information on the Mosin Nagant.
Hope this helps a little

I can only help a little

The marking with the a in the box is actualy SA. that is a Finnish capture mark. The best way for you to find out is to drop by seven point six two x fifty four r dot com. they have killer pics of mosin markings. If that doesn't work sell the rifle to me for five dollars because rare markings make it worth less money

Nice rifle.

Never seen thoses markings before, Fire extinguishing police, Lativa and earla Tula.

Not your typical Mosin.

I think this one has seen service in Latvia, Mitava(now Elgava) Fire Dep...I have seen one like this at a gunshop in Riga last Dec...
Typical Finn rebuild, however the barrel and receiver seem to be original to each other.

Very nice example!

"Fire Extinguishing Police" makes me laugh every time

HAHA thanks for all the great posts guys.


I wonder how many other people have Mosins with the "Fire Extinguishing Police" marks in Canada?.
