Hey guys, i just literally FOUND a Mosin Nagant rifle in my attic. located in the corner of my daughters room is an access panel to the attic, above that panel and under the insuation was the rifle, 2 boxes of ammo and a bag with about 20 or so more rounds...
I did some research with the numbers/toolings stamped on the rifle and found out it was a Mosin. I can post pics up tomorrow of it. It's already been Sporterized (molested) which threw off my search at first but after some cleaning I was able to find the M91/30 stamped at the tip of the barrell. It distinctly has the Tula logo and 1938 stamped on top of the breach, and some numbers (not matching the ones on the breach) stamped onto the bolt assembly. It has the ATI Monte Carlo stock, scope mount, and bolt handle. The original bolt handle looks like it was broken off and this was used as a cheap replacement. It has a Tasco "world class" 20x scope as well. I'm not sure if it was originally a sniper variant though, i can't find a P/U stamped on it anywhere, but the barrell is 27 3/4" long (from the seamof the breach to the tip) which was the "sniper" barrell used from what i could find while searching for info.
Any info, corrections, or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!
