Congrats! They are excellent rifles and deserve more credit as such than they are often given. Ishevsk rifles made in 1943 almost always show rough machining and fit and finish. This is because they had to turn them out faster than ever-a lot was happening in the Soviet Union at that time!

Anyway, buy lots of ammo and shoot the heck out of it. That's what it was made to do!

Nice one, cjcmosin! Welcome to our site and welcome to the milsurp 'affliction'
(You're among great company here)

Please post some close-ups when you have time. I've always collected US arms, and I'd like to see your mosin up close and I'm sure others would too.

Congratulations on your buy. Mosin's are one of my favorites and are a strong point of my collection. You can get a ton of surplus ammo for dirt cheap at rguns.net. Have fun shooting and tell us how it performs.
