Trade Ex M38

SHELL SHUCKER said:
Mine has the M44 stock and import marks as well. The bore cleaned up good and the import marks
will soon disapear. I swapped out the trigger and sear to Polish units and re-touched the muzzle crown.
I will soon bed the action & free-float the barrel to test for accuracy with target loads.

The stocks will get a nice non-glare finish and the bolt has already been slicked up.
These are neat little rifles to tinker on.:)

How does one go about removing these markings?
 
The really old mosins were calibrated in an old russian measure called an arshin (arshini=plural I think). One arshin was about 2.5 feet. I believe this measure was abandoned around 1924. My Finn capture mosin has arshini and the Finns added metres to it later.
 
UPS finally delivered my 5 pack!

The two mosins are 1941 izzies, the receivers are quite different . The 91/30 is like most I have seen , but the m38 has rough machining , no cut outs at rear of receiver and an unfinished right side. The way the Russians sped things up during the machining process.

Pretty cool!

Very nice!! I can imagine the pressure the Russians were under to crank these Rifles out quick with the German Army bearing down on them.
 
Are a lot of these ex-East German guns? As mine and my buddies have the larger triangle where the receiver meets the barrel with a #1 inside it. The web states EG guns are stamped there with a #1,#2 or #3 . My chums is in a 44 laminate stock except for the hand guard which he would like to locate one.Mine is in a 44 stock as well plain wood.

Got a 43 form ishevesk she is a beauty will post a picture eventuality. The bolt wouldnt close with a round in the chamber so polished the extractor locking lugs basicly everything to a chrome finish then peened the bolt head out very slightly now nk problems and the action is ridiculously smooth. smoother than any of my other bolt actions
