djg0770 481 Posted June 14, 2009 7.62x54R for Mosin M44, new to me today. Pics to follow. Stock is really rough and is not laminated. And for the record, Cosmoline is a B-eye-tee-cee-H. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tony357 386 Posted June 14, 2009 I have two recent mosins, both octogon reciever. one is still in the cosmo. is it matching #s gun? if so odds are you will be ok with bolt fit. wait until you shoot it it kick's like a mule. I just purchased butt pad for it made specifcally for mosin rifle. It is a blast too shoot best part is it is cheap ammo..also corrosive so make sure you clean after every outing.

djg0770 481 Posted June 14, 2009 Re: Numbers It may have been forcematched. Not sure. It's been renumbered - I think, though it's numbered with the Cyrillic ZH before the number. Barrel, Bolt, and Butt Cap all match Where did you get the butt pad Tony? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joe_D 0 Posted June 14, 2009 I have a set of coin type gauges made by Okie Headspace Gauges that I'll gladly make available to you. I just got them this week and used them to check out a Finnish Mosin (M-39) that I picked up recently. The nice thing about them is that you don't need to disassemble the bolt and remove the firing pin and extractor like you do for some of the other types. Let me know if you still need them and we can make arrangements. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
