I would leave it as is, except cleaning out the old cosmo from under the turrets and adding new grease. that's what i did to mine. i wouldn't suggest taking it apart because the PU scopes are filled...

if you're talking about the stamp with the upside down T inside the triangle please let me know if you find out what it is, because i have the same marking on my Tula sniper
Ok so i did a dumb thing.:banghead: I recently purchased a 1934 hex Mosin and removed the old cracking shellac and replaced it with BLO. Now i want to remove the BLO without sanding. i already...
i found some 7.5x55 brass . same question, what powder and how much should i put to be safe ?
I also don't believe that shellac was used pre-war and during ww2 that's a post war thing. My M-44 is dated 1945 and has an oily finish like linseed or tung oil it's pretty beat up with a lot of...
Some SVT-40's that came from Finland came to Canada and the barrels were cut down and added a sight on top of the gas port and cut the end of the stock and added an ugly rubber but pad this was done...
Hey Guy's, i purchased a Schmidt Rubin 1889 7.5x54.5 swiss a few days ago. serial number is 206XXX so it dates 1896. I need Help for reloading. i only have 50 rounds of original 7.5X54.5 that...
Wow thanks for the heads up on lead sleds i was thinking on getting one to stop recoil when sighting in scopes , but i guess i will stick with my Caldwell Matrix bench rest
Stupid question on how i should zero in my PU scope...
I currently have the vertical dial to point at zero to bullseye at 100 yards.
So my question is should i re-set the dial to point at 1...
No it's not counterbored.
Seems legit to me. it'a Finnish made M-39 the stock does differ from the Russian M-38 version. It's a very nice one but wow 800$ that's way to expensive if you ask me. For that price it would be...
Ok so i mailed Kalinka Optics asking if it was safe to remove the lenses to clean and here is what they responded.
No the inside of the PU scope is filled with nitrogen to help prevent moisture...
Anybody ever took apart a PU scope to clean the lenses ???
My lenses are clear but there is a piece of dirt moving around inside the scope and sometimes it sticks to the lense , i sometimes have...
If you have a rufurb mark then you wouldn't be able to miss it . They are usually on the side of the butt stock , the refurb mark on Mosins and SVT's are not small they are about half an inch wide....
North Pro Sports sells them for 179$ with all accessories and a bayonet
i deceided that i'll just leave it the way it is.. it's a good conversation starter with the markings lol
cosmoline around moving parts and wrap them in waxed paper
ok i got to test out the Remington 303 ammo and the extraction is a hole lot better :thup:
Thanks guy's :dancingbanana:
Would it be a good idea to have the Nazi markings scrubbed off and reblue it or should i keep it as is ?
I know it will effect the value if i refinish the rifle . but i will never sell it it will...
Yah i know :lol: Very likely to be fake markings :thdown: But it does have a high wall receiver witch indicates that it was an early 1945 production.
i just count myself lucky to have found a ww2...
found some more markings that i havent seen yesterday, do you guy's think they are fake ? i cant find info on the web other than fake lol

might be the # of soldiers he killed
I was looking to have a Mosin M-44 braught to Canada, the sale price in the US is 249$ . The fee's are more expensive then the gun , i may be crazy :madsmile: but not that crazy :nono:
