Arsenal markings changed.
Moisin-Nagant rifles were made by the government arsenals of Russia, and several other countries for many, MANY years. The websitewww.surplusrifle.com has some good information on the M-N's, including copies of the arsenal marks from different Russian Arsenals. My 91-30 rifle was made at the Tula arsenal.
Nagant was created in 1859.
Mosin-Nagant firearms get their name from the designers - Sergei Ivanovich Mosin who was a Colonel in the Russian Army and Emile & Leon Nagant who were Belgian weapon designers.
Mosin nagant
Sounds to me like a 1941 production of the tula, Nagant m95, revolver. That specific stamp was used on the nagant revolver from 1928-1943 a seven shot revolver with a gas seal system that allows it to be suppressed. It shoots the 7.62x38R aka 7.62nagant , a very interesting piece none the less.
The Imperial Russian Army developed the Mosin Nagant Rifle between 1882 and 1891. In 1891 Russia officially adopted the Mosin Nagant Rifle. The rifle was designed by Sergei Mosin from Russia and Leon Nagant from Belgium. This is where the name of the rifle comes from.
You cannot tell from the Serial number. You must look at the frame. There will be a logo (star with an arrow for tula arsenal, hammer and sickle in a wreath for izshevsk). The date will be right below this.
Yes. Mosin Nagant makes a rifle that is around 40" long and has a folding bayonet. It is called a M44
orbez? do you mean mosin nagant orbez or Orbeez? the mosin nagant orbez is hard to find, you might as well make it yourself.
Yes.
The Mosin Nagant was used by the US and Russia and other countries in World War 1. It is not used now.
Depends on WHICH Mosin Nagant- there are several models, and several different stocks. ROUGHLY 3 pounds.
