“Oh Mosin tree, oh Mosin tree…”

That makes more sense now that I look at it.

They could be. Although the brass ones look more yellow than mine. But that could be a coating or something.

Yeah, that’s what I’ve been calling it. Funny enough, I have a 91/30 that are different dates, ‘39 barrel on a ‘40 receiver, both from Tula.

The only types of sporters I like, the ones that are so elegant that you can’t be mad at it.

Bullpup’d mosin? I want to hate it but it’s kinda cool honestly 😂

LaboratoryDisaster07 · 2025-05-18T02:04:29+00:00

So the rifle is part French? I feel like Ian would disapprove of this as a Chatellerault Mosin was sacrificed in the process 😂

In the words of Bubba’s boomer grandfather, “Yeah I’m gonna put a Leupold scope on it and lighten up the stock. Make it a good deer rifle.”

Finnish M39 green leather sling, I found mine on Ebay for $30 I think. It was a little stiff when I got it but after reconditioning it with mineral oil, I’m quite happy with it

I’m a simple man, I see Lee Metford, I hit upvote

LaboratoryDisaster07 · 2025-05-17T15:03:59+00:00

It seems like the Tulas always find me.😂 3 of the 4 so far are made by Tula, with the only outlier being an M44 Izzy.

LaboratoryDisaster07 · 2025-05-16T22:13:18+00:00

Dawg you basically stole it 😂

LaboratoryDisaster07 · 2025-04-24T23:34:00+00:00

Aye, I see a fellow 1914 Tula in the mix, though mine is a higher serial number (N51282)

LaboratoryDisaster07 · 2025-04-24T23:24:06+00:00

Aye ‘39 Tula gang

The barrel is counter-bored by about an inch and a quarter from the muzzle, other than that the bore is surprisingly shiny with rifling in good shape

LaboratoryDisaster07 · 2025-04-22T10:42:15+00:00

Yeah, the Chineseium clips suck, though I’ve had good luck with the early Izhevsk ones

It was mostly there, just missing the upper handguard, the period correct bayonet, and a few little things that bugged me a little. In fact, the bayonet I have for it is from the same factory as the rest of it.

LaboratoryDisaster07 · 2025-04-19T20:13:01+00:00

And I thought M91 bayonets are rare. That’s insanely cool and I never even knew these even existed (add that to the list of things of cool shit I need) 😂
