Anyone have a Mosin Nagant 91/38?

[Hoosier8]

Not the usual M38 but a re-worked M91 to the M38 style. They have hex receivers.

Mine is an Isvevsk 1906 receiver. I was curious and looked at it again and it is a parts matching gun with an unobtrusive import mark near the end of the barrel. The bolt is the pre 1938 single milled type 1 bolt so correct for the receiver. No grinding marks so I am pretty sure all parts are correct.

Had one at one time. It went away when I decided to concentrate on Finns exclusively.

I Don’t know what a 91/38 is but here is my mosin that I purchased in the 1990’s. All matching numbers. Looks like yours other than mine has a round barrel. It’s a great shooter and sure makes a fireball.

Had 2 of them, but like Jon they where moved out to make room for more sniper rifles.

I have the Chinese knockoff T53

Yes, I had one!


I traded it for a picture of an M1 Garand...

That's a knockoff of the M44. The 38 didn't have a bayonet.

My ex-wife has an M44 with an original PU scope. The PU scope and gunsmithing to install it cost her 3x the actual rifle back in 2008. She enjoys shooting it quite a bit.

I put a scout scope on my M38. No gunsmithing required since it uses the original sight base.

She wanted the original scope, plus the scout scope did not hold a zero. I think she paid $120 for the rifle, $300 for the scope, and around $150 to the gunsmith(back when Gander mountain was in Greenwood and had an on site gunsmith)including head spacing the bolt(was sacrificed from a 91 I had). She wanted it done, it made her happy. It was her money. Happy wife happy life back then lol. It does shoot well and holds a zero.

I stand corrected.
I'm actually sitting at the moment, but will arise to be corrected.

No need for all the formality. Sit!

Finns are great and worth more than the run of the mill Mosin. The only Finn I have is a D marked stepped barrel M91.

The 91/38 is a cut down ex-Dragoon M91 hex receiver. The 91/59 is a cut down 91/30 round receiver and would say 1891/59 on the receiver. Yours looks like an M38 with an M44 stock which is real common for these. I think these carbines handle very nicely.

I have one. You’ll see it in Sunday if you want.
