It depends on what you'll be using it for. The Mosin Nagant is generally more accurate and has a much further range than the SKS. However, the SKS is semi-automatic, smaller and lighter.

Can you put an external magazine on a mosin nagant?

It would cost more than the rifle to do, but, yes.


Can you fire a different cartrige than a 7.62x54r in your mosin nagant?

, This is a very unsafe practice. While there are adapters made which allow one to fire pistol .32 caliber ammunition singly through the Mosin-Nagant, there is no rifle cartridge which will interchange with the 7.62x54R. Please do not try it. Josh Smith Smith-Sights.com


Does the mosin nagant m44 shoot higher than the point of aim like the M1891?

Slightly. These were sighted with the bayonet fixed, so the effect will be exaggerated with the bayonet folded.


How rare is a Mosin Nagant rifle made in 1928?

What is Russian military rifle dated 1936 number 228458?

If it's Bolt action, it is more than likely to be a Mosin Nagant M91/30.Take a look at http://7.62x54r.net/. You can compare makers stamps and serial numbers.


A 12 year old can shoot a mosin nagant?

Depends on the 12 yr old. The 91/30 M-N rifle has fairly stout recoil, but no worse than similar caliber rifles. A good recoil pad would be worth considering, and, as always, a minor should have the permission of parents.


What is the worth of a Mosin Nagant rifle in 762x54r?

Depending on exact model and condition anywhere from $25 to $7000 There were many different models of Mosin Nagant made, some rarer than others. A rusted M91/30 is not worth much. A Finnish cavalry carbine is rare and pricey. A generic Russian 91/30 in good condition is currently selling for between $80 and $110 in the US. A HUGE number of those were released from Russian military storage, and placed on the market for sale to civilians. There are several models of Mosin-Nagant rifle, made or modified by several manufacturers. The exact value depends on specifics... manufacturer, model, arsenal it was manufactured at, rare and distinct markings, overall condition, etc. You could be looking at anywhere from $70 to over $1000, depending on those specifics.


Who made a 1953 Mosin Nagant and what is the value?

You will need to provide some additional information. More than 37 million Mosin-Nagant rifles were made in different models by several nations, mainly the Soviet Union, Poland and China. Value is based on exact make, model and condition- we do not know model nor condition. For 1953 manufacture, it is quite likely an M44. Those small carbines with a folding bayonet are currently selling for around $150-$200, depending on condition.


Is there a raised scope mount similar to the Jmeck scope mount or the original PU type mount that is cheaper and will fit a Mosin nagant?

That is a difficult rifle to scope, and I have not seen a reciever mount other than the PU type. Some folks have used a long eye relief scope, and mounted it to the rear sight base. Sorry-


Do 7.62x54R 148 grain bullets have a higher or lower point of impact than 174 grain bullets when fired from a Mosin Nagant 91 30?

A lighter bullet will strike the target higher,due to its lighter weight which allows the bullet to be pushed faster(in feet per second) then the heavier bullet with the same weight of powder in the case.


How do you get your Mosin Nagant to shoot lower without modifying the front sight?

Either the front sight will need to be raised, the rear sight lowered, or you will need to aim lower. Most military rifles have a minimum zero distance around 200 yards. If you are shooting at a closer distance, expect that the strike of the bullet will be other than point of aim.
