Re: "New" Mosin Nagants
HEY PETE...........GOOD TO "SEE" YOU AGAIN.
Sorry for the delayed reply.
Been a bit busy lately.
Thanks for your reply.
I always thought you were the one with an eye for the good ones.

Re: "New" Mosin Nagants
Been cleaning the NEW M91 today.
Cosmoline all over the place.
I just degreased the metal.
I'll start on the wood next weekend.
I have to be careful when working on the wood.
I don't want to loose the stamps.
Made some pictures.
Before
After
You can find the smallest stamps when you clean these rifles.
The E with an arrow is an New England Westinghouse stamp.
Still have to find out what the capital G means.
I cleaned the metal with mineral spirits.
When all parts are dry I will oil them and put the rifle back together.
More next week.

Re: "New" Mosin Nagants
According to Terance Lapin's, The Mosin Nagant Rifle, the G is a mark put on in Finland found on M91 receivers. At the time my edition was published, Lapin notes the meaning was unknown. Perhaps someone knows more now days.

Re: "New" Mosin Nagants
Thanks Niner.
I still have to check my books and notes.
I will also check Lapins book.
Got his 3rd edition.
I accepted the fact that many Mosin Nagant stamps are of unknown origin.

Re: "New" Mosin Nagants
You dudes must be nuts Where do you put all this stuff. We have here a passionate discussion after the school shootings. Must be a safety box. Beautiful weapons. Concrats. I served in bootcamp with Mosins. One trick by instructors was to put a backback over the head and then the command was take to piecies the lock and then put it together So blind.
Re: "New" Mosin Nagants
We did that with G3 and MG3(MG42).
With a Mosin I can do that todaly drunk and blind
I store my Mosins in a concrete bunker, only Fort Knox would be safer(or perhaps Hämeenlinna Garrison).

Re: "New" Mosin Nagants
Would someone be as kind as to explain what is meant by "New" Mosin Nagants? I've just started to collect some and all three are Refurbs.

Re: "New" Mosin Nagants
goofyoldfart.
The Mosin Nagants are "new" in my collection and besides that...one of them is manufactured by New England Westinghouse (NEW)
I admit.....a bit confusing.
Sorry about that.
BTW...welcome to this forum.
I hope you like this place as much as I do.
If you have any pictures of your Mosin Nagants....don't hesitate to show them in here.
