You the man for this

Less famous than its successor, Kalashnikov's AK-47 assault rifle, the Mosin-Nagant is nevertheless known to have participated in the greatest conflicts of the twentieth century, arming millions of soldiers and rebels in every corner of the globe. We will present this weapon to the unknown story, which, even today, is a reference in the field of sport shooting. It all began in 1877, during a territorial conflict between the Ottoman Empire (future Turkey) and the Russian Empire. The Turks are then equipped with a Winchester Model 1866 reciprocating rifle with 13 cartridges in the magazine, and one-shot rifles but very fast to reload (10 to 12 rounds per minute) Peabody-Martini-Henry whose effective range reaches 350 meters. Opposite, the Russians are fighting with the rifle Berdan n ° 1 and n ° 2, also mono-shot, but the effective range does not exceed 280 meters and cadence 6 to 8 rounds per minute. Although victorious at the end of this war, the Russians feel the disadvantages of the Berdan against the weapons of the enemies. Congestion, heaviness, short range and low rate of fire will make the Russian government react. In 1882, a commission was created to test different foreign weapons, such as the French Lebel or the German Mauser. At the same time, Sergei Mossin, an officer of the Imperial Army, proposes a rifle with 3 lines (imperial measurement unit, ie 7.62mm). However, the commission will retain the 3.5-line rifle of the Belgian brothers Léon and Emile Nagant. The final decision will be a compromise for both parties: the adopted model will be the Mossine rifle (7.62mm) with a Nagant weapon system. The Mosin (ne) -Nagant was born, by its official denomination rifle 3 lines model 1891 chambered in 7,62x54R.

Dude thanks so much I just got my first Fin nagant by luck. Now to find a stock

Fn awesome thanks man

indeed a very good book

Thank you.

Thanks!

What does JH mean at the side of the receiver on a M91 Chatellerault! Thanks for superb video!

The one marking I was looking for that I have on mine was of course, the one marking not shown in this book… I can’t for the life of me figure out what it means

Can't find anything on a /25\ Triangle 25?? Was red numeral marked but since then the paint has faded

Does it say how many dragoons were made because i am really interested. Thx

How can you tell if a particular Mosin Nagant was issued or not?

Tks.

What does Poland (technical control or acceptance mark) mean

what about a backwards Z mark

my Mosin Nagant 91/30 has 2 marks and I was wondering if you could identify them for me as I don't have the book and couldn't find them online. .1 is a "A" in a circle in side the slot in the stock. the other is a 3/13 in side what looks like you average tomb stone.

not really sure, the rifles have so many marks that we just don't know. the "A" in circle might be a inspector mark and for the tombstone marking i could never find any information on it. sorry i we all wish we all knew what all the markings meant, it would make the rifle much more interesting.

Do you have any idea what a box with a x in the middle of it would be?

a refurbishment mark. is it on the barrel shank where the year is. A box with a line in middle, diagonal, or x in it is a refurb mark

is it the serial number? if it is then its cyrillic letters before the serial number. they started it in 1938 with one letter and in ww2 when they were pumping them out so fast they had to start putting two letters before serial number. I dont know what the t is after the number is.

Strange… your book is different than mine. You have markings I don’t have and I have ones you don’t have. You also have pictures of rifles and I don’t… odd.

pm?

Pay attention To No 2 Stamp = Lower quality rifle
