Really nice rifle.
Review by Ray C on 5/1/13

Quality

These are nice rifles. I purchased one of the crates of twenty and all of them were in good condition, there were some minor flaws but nothing that hampered their operation. I also picked up some of the surplus ammo and really like the stuff as well, though I get tired of cleaning the rifles afterwards. Great job Classic.

Nice Hex receiver Mosin
Review by Paul on 4/24/13

I have been wanting a hex receiver Mosin, as the quality of prewar Mosins were very nice and finished. Shoots very accurate, barrel was nice and shiny.

Nothing like a pack of guns
Review by Lee on 4/24/13

Quality

I got a 5 pack and while I did not get anything special I did get 5 fully functional and mechanically sound rifles, I'm very satisfied and happy with them. Honestly the feeling of getting a pack of guns is pretty damn good, opening them all up and looking them over is great fun.

Another Great Deal !
Review by Dana on 10/7/12

Quality

Classic Firerarms has done it again ! Mine is a 1942 Izhevsk round receiver model. Bore looks strong without having removed cosmoline. Fast & reasonable shipping to my FFL. Rougher war time production methods are obvious, but this does not detract from this rifle one bit. At $99.99 I strongly suggest you get yourself one. This is my second purchase from Classic Firearms and they pleased me again. Thank you & God Bless.

Great Gun! Mine is a 1938 Tula round receiver. I went the hand pick and it was well worth it! Fun and cheap to shoot. There's a short youtube review of me shooting it. Get one!

Review by colt nasty on 5/16/13

Quality

I picked up my 91/30 Mosin last week.

It was just the way you want it: absolutely packed in cosmoline.

I cleaned her up over the weekend.

This one is a numbers matching 1937 Izzy that does not appear to have been used much at all. Expectations have certainly been exceeded.

I have purchased several firearms from these folks. Wonderful on all levels. You will not go wrong. Highly recommended; I will be back for more, for sure.

Thanks Classic!

Outstanding product and service from Classic Firearms.

Outstanding product sold up by a professional and fine dealer (Classic Arms). Both rifles arrived promptly and were just as described. A fine addition to my military collection. I highly recommend Classic Firearms for ammo and firearms sales!

Happy with my purchase
Review by Donny on 5/15/13

Quality

Rifle was OK for an old military surplus. Stock was in decent shape, but parts of the metal had been painted by the arsenal. Bore looks good. Have not got to shoot it yet. I went a little crazy with this one and refinished it with a green and walnut stain(See Customer Photos). Overall, I am happy with my purchase.

thanks everyone from classic firearms it was my first time ordering from here, gotta say i was pretty impressed with the price, shipping time and quality of the rifle. If your looking for clean and shiny guns try again they come completely covered in cosmaline the way i like it.will buy more soon.

Nice Set
Review by Fonty on 5/12/13

Quality

I ordered the dealer pack of five and received them in about four days. Pretty good turnaround. The boxes were, as promised, unmolested and the guns were in GREAT shape. Three Izzys ('41,'42, '43 including a lighter colored stock that just screamed beautiful) and two Tulas ('43 and '38). All stamped matching, all non-counterbored, and all in near perfect condition stock and blueing wise. Overall, cannot complain. I sell these to customers all the time as hog guns and collectors bits, but I had to keep the '42 Izzy for myself...just was too darn pretty. Great work Classic!

91/30 smoke stick
Review by Rich on 5/10/13

Quality

Got my first 91/30 from CAs a few weeks ago. Have not shot it yet, but the condition is what I would like to pass on. Site stated gun was in very good condition. I'm very picky to the extreme some would say. Thought I was getting a project gun for only $150ish delivered. Well, when I picked it up it was covered with that @&$! stuff we all love. After a hour or so of cleaning, I could finally see what I had. It was not very good like CA stated it was. It was in outstanding shape considering the age (1943). I don't think it was ever used by military. It has handling marks on the stock here and there from handling, but all metal parts look unused. Very happy with this gun. Can't wait to go shoot it! Oh ya, great price on 440 large rifle rounds too. Highly recommend! Rich

Excellent Rifles
Review by Delegate Bob on 4/29/13

Quality

When I received an email from Yosemite Sam asking for my thoughts on my two Mosins from Classic I just new I had to give a write up. NO one says no to that Varmint.

Anyway, the gun smith at the Virginia FFL dealer looked at my two MN's from Classic. He declared one was new, never used, and the other was barely used. All serial numbers matched on both rifles.

I had previously purchased one excellent hex model MN from Classic, and am glad I bought these two as well.

Better than expected
Review by Tony on 4/25/13

Quality

Not being offered a hand pick option , I half expected something a bit "battle worn" - not a huge concern since this rifle was to be reserved for an Archangel stock that I'd ordered. After wiping the cosmo off , I was very surprised - a 1942 Izzy that looks brand new with a beautiful red stock (solid with no repairs) and minimal bumps 'n dings- just enough to give it character . All numbers matched except the bayonet -again , not a concern . I have concluded that I'll have to order another since this one is too nice to part out

This was not my first purchace from Classic Firearms and certainly won't be my last - I have held many Mosins in many Gun shops and most would feel very loose in their stocks - wall hangers in my opinion, and closer to $200 than what these folks are offering. I have been extremely pleased with all my purchases so far and won't hesitate to make another , like when the Swiss K11 or K31's are back in stock *hint hint*

Thanks Classic guys !

Beautiful gun
Review by Nick on 4/25/13

Quality

As we all know..my 1943 Izzy was covered in cosmiline..I mean its what they did to preserve it, and man did it do a good job at that! Absolutly no rust, bright and shiny bore, all matching parts (except bayo) & minor dings at BEST..i mean un-noticeable..and just all in all a beautiful gun. Took about a week to get here and had it all cleaned up by the end of the night..very pleased with it.

Very happy with my 91/30!
Review by Doug on 4/23/13

Received a 1937 Tula absolutely drenched in cosmoline but underneath was a like new rifle. The finish of the receiver is excellent (pre-war). The bore is mirror bright. Will finish cleaning and get to the range. A great product.......thanks! And BTW, the customer service is first rate, very good communication and fast shipping.

1942 Izzy
Review by Deadly in OKC on 4/22/13

Quality

Brutus is right again with his description. This 1942 Izzy was obviously made before the Soviet Union/Russia got too hot and heavy into WWII and definitely before the Battle of Stalingrad. The finish on the barrel and receiver were excellent craftsmanship compared to most 1943 - 1944 Mosin-Nagants during increased wartime production. Barrel rifling is very good to excellent all the way - - no counter-boring. Will tame the recoil with another 15 X 1 RH Type 74 CNC Warrior muzzle brake. Can't wait to take it to the range and watch the "whipped' males squirm when this "boomstick" makes them wish they had better ear protection. Thanks, again, Classic Arms!

Review by Flash on 4/17/13

Bought two of this lot, received both promptly. Even with the copious amounts of cosmoline, these guns appear to be 99%. Both had matching handguards, no major nicks or dings in the wood, and were all matching (I have not checked yet to see if the bayonets do or don't match). Two beautiful rifles that anyone would be proud to own.

Excellent Condition

I ordered a 20 rifle crate and I am extremely happy with the purchase. Classic has excellent customer service and the transaction was easy (except for picking up the crate – very heavy). Of the 20 that I purchased – 9 had hex receivers (5 being Tula). Excellent condition with just a few nicks here and there. All had bayonets with matching serial numbers. In the bottom of the crate was a false bottom containing the original cleaning kits. The 5 piece kit is complete except for the original pouch. I received much more than expected – thanks Classic!

Disappointed
Review by Mike on 4/10/13

Quality

I received my Mosin Nagant about 30 days ago. I don't enjoy giving negative reviews, but I'll have to this time. First I have to say..."What do you expect from a low price?" I was hoping for a little better. I'll have to refinish the stock. The metal pieces (all 4) on the stock for the strap are missing. I should be able to find some. You guys do a great job and I will be back.
I was just a little disappointed. mike

so far so good
Review by RICHARD on 4/6/13

Bought a 5 pack of hex receivers,unpacked,disassembled and cleaned one of 'em.Took it to the range and it patterns ok at 200 yds,still need to adjust the sight for no bayonet shooting,sight tool arrived today.Rifle is beautiful for it's age(1931),the other 4 are still in the cosmo and will stay that way.

Not what was advertised.......it was better!
Review by Brian on 3/23/13

Quality

I ordered the crate of 20 Mosin Nagants. I was expecting to get a crate of 20 round receiver Mosins with no accessories. I was hoping to get one laminated stock out of the 20 rifles. I did not get one at all. Instead, I got something much much better. I received no less than 8 numbers matching (meaning no arsenal force matched parts) Hex receivers, of which at least 3 of them are ex-dragoons. I am not sure about the rest of the Hexes, I am still researching them. I also had 4 numbers matching (also meaning NO FORCE MATCHED PARTS) round receiver Mosins. Three of them are pre-WWII construction. The rest all had either a force matched magazine floor plate or a force matched butt plate. All of the rifles had matching bolt, receiver and either floor plate or butt plate. None of them had more than one force matched part. Also, out of the 20 rifles, 4 of them are "MO" marked which surprised me. All in all, I am VERY pleased with the contents of the crate. I was also pleased with the speed of shipping and the courtesy that customer service showed during the ordering process. If I had to find something to complain about, it would be that the crate was in worse shape then I expected. I plan on turning it into a coffee table but I am not sure if I will be able to do that without a lot of work. The dividers are all soaked in cosmoline and became weak and broke so I will have to find someone to make new ones for me (I do not do woodworking. I suck at it). The corners of the crate are also in bad shape. Either way, even though the crate is in bad shape, the rifles were in almost pristine shape and worth way more than the price I paid for them. Thanks Classic Firearms, you have a customer for life now.

Something for Everyone
Review by Andrew on 3/22/13

Quality

I ordered the crate of 20. Customer support was excellent, and delivery was timely. As mentioned in other reviews, not all were round receiver as the ad stated, but that is a good thing. As stated, there were no slings or ammo pouches when ordered by the crate, but the tool kits were still included. 3 Tulas, 2 hex receivers, 4 laminated stocks, and 5 brass tipped hand guards. Approximately half were from the late 1930s, and half were wartime production. Prewar rifles had better cosmetics and finish, but they also had very well worn (some also speckled) barrels. Wartime rifles, while uglier on the outside (mill marks, deleted escutcheons, etc), had excellent bores, and will be great shooters. ALL had numbers matching bolts, receivers, floor-plates, butt-plates, and bayonets. The non-serialized bits (barrel bands, assorted bolt components) did not always match, but that is expected of arsenal refinished rifles. Expect to spend a while cleaning out the cosmoline, and the wood will start sweating it when the barrel gets warm with use. Import marks are etched/engraved on the left side of the receiver just forward of the bolt. They are clear, but not distracting.
Overall, I am happy with the purchase. Some are good for collecting, others for shooting, but there is something for everyone when you order a crate.

I would purchase another case when in stock anytime when I can afford it
Review by steven on 3/14/13

Quality

I recently purchased a case of these for partial investment and trades for other C&R items later. They came in a timely manner and I did not have a long wait. I assumed that there would be only round receivers and no accessories since it was listed as such, but the folks at Classic were "slightly" wrong. The case contained 20 extremly nice rifles 7 with hex receivers, none had any beat up stocks, with only minor nicks on a few. The refurbishing was excellent, they all almost looked new, and the numbers all matched. What I ended up getting were:

10 IZZYS from 1940-45
1924 IZZY Dragoon
1925 IZZY Dragoon
1929 IZZY
1931 IZZY
1932 Tula
1934 Tula (2)
1937 IZZY
1938 Tula
1940 Tula (too bad not a 41)

I got these delivered in the rain and since I could not get the case in the house I had to remove them and take them in 2 at a time when it stopped. While after cleaning them off and waiting for everything to dry (it was still a little misty out, but I could not wait anymore), I examined the shipping crate and noticed a false bottom on it which was filled with the cleaning kits and oil bottles.

Love those Mosins
Review by WILLIAM on 3/9/13

In October 2012 I bought a 5 pack of the Mosin Nagants rolling the dice and hoping for at least one Tula and/or hex receiver. I received neither.

BUT I received 5 Mosin Nagants in superb condtion and I am very happy with this purchase.

I am a confirmed customer of Classic Firearms. Even with shipping costs and FFL transfer fees the bargains at Classic can't be beat! And the quality of the products I receive from Classic far exceeds anything I can buy at my local gun shops.

Customer service is excellent!

Very Pleasantly Surprised
Review by Tim on 11/27/12

Quality

This was my first purchase from Classic Firearms and was not what I was expecting. Shortly after placing my order for my Mosin I noticed that they were out of stock and became a little concerned that since I had never ordered from CF before, only ordered 1 rifle (when they were selling them by the case) I would end up with a dog. Honestly for around $100 I was planning on having a project gun and had already started planning to refinish or replace the stock, duracoat the metal and install a scope mounted scope. Everything changed when I pulled this thing out of the box and peeled off the bubble wrap. Beneath a HEAVY coat fo cosmoline the stock was gorgeous (aside from a crack in the but that had been repaired), the bluing/paint (what ever it is) on the barrel is in great shape and the icing on the cake - all of the serial numbers match. Now I don't want to chance damaging the rifle by replacing the rear sight with a scout mount. My only concern at this point is that there is no finish on the end of the barrel as if it has been freshly crowned which I've read probably means it has been counter bored. honestly don't care as long as it shoots well. Seriously already considering buying at least 1 or 2 more if/when they are available again. Very impressed with this gun so far. There is something infectious about holding these pieces of history.

Most bang for you buck
Review by warriflefan on 11/18/12

Quality

The Mosin rifle is by far the best value milsurp rifle available today. Sure, the bolts clunky and it's a mile long with the bayonet on, but the ammo is super cheap when you buy surplus, and they are in general very accurate once your rifles favorite ammo. I'm pretty sure you can run these over with a panzer and they will still work like you got it from the assembly line at the Tula factory. My mosin was the first milsurp in my collection and still one of my favorites!

Excellent
Review by Deputy on 11/18/12

Quality

Just got my Model 91/30 yesterday. It had a light coating of preservative on the stock and a little heavier on the metal parts. It is a 1942 Tula. The color of the stock was a reddish-brown similar to postwar M1 Garands I own. I am 100% satisfied with the rifle and the only minor problem is the inside of the barrel. It had a preservative coating and it appears they applied it over carbon fouling. It's turning out to be a real pain to clean up. But the rifling is sharp and it looks shiny under the crud. I may have gotten the last one of these, since they wentr out of stock immediately after I ordered mine.

Better then most you will find
Review by Brandon on 11/9/12

Quality

So where to start. Firstly dealing with CFR was easy and hassle free. Ordered 5 over the phone, had them the next week and overall a pleasure to do business with. On the rifles I guess I will start with the bad. The first thing is these rifles should not be marked X-cellent. They should be marked good. I have bought excellent MN rifles and these are not. But a lot better then most you will see at Big 5. One was forced match, one had extensive stock repair. 4 out of five have very stiff bolts and one is very tight. This is not a cleaning issue but just a 70 yr old gun issue. Also three of the bayonets are very tight and will not lock all the way becoming useless and none of the bayonets match. Patchy black paint on 3 out of 5 including the tips of the barrels and bluing was gone under the paint. Bluing was about 80% average on all rifles. Also all rifles were counter bored from 3/4 to 1 1/2 inches. This is all expected with these rifles but they should be marked from good to very good and not excellent. But here is the good news.

1925 USSR Tula ex-dragoon all matching very good condition
1932 Izzy Hex all matching good condition
1938 Izzy Round very good condition and all matching
1942 Izzy Round all matching good condition
1944 Tula Round ex PU sniper good condition unfortunately a lot of markings have been ground then re-blued when it was re-arsenaled back to an infantry rifle

I think the best thing about ordering the master pack is you don't know what you are going to get. It is like Christmas and as you can see I lucked out and got some good ones. All the bores are about the same the dragoon being the darkest but all having a lot of life left in the rifling. All in all I am happy with my purchase mainly for what I got and the price is so much better then a lot of places especially Big 5. I would definitely buy from again and I fully understand what I am buying, however I do think the X-cellent grading is a false statement and a lot of people would expect like new surplus rifles like my unissued 1953 polish M44.

So to sum up, this is a great deal and you have a chance to get some great historical rifles with about a 70-80% condition. Role the dice and get the master pack!

All the best,
Brandon

I got a 1923 Izhevsk Hex receiver, the rest were all round receiver Izhevsks 1941, 1942, 1943, and a 1942 Tula Round receiver.

Mostly nice
Review by Ho on 11/2/12

Quality

Bought a package of 5, 4 were very nice including a Tula and Izzy Octagonal (yea!). The last rifle was in poor shape, if it was arsenally re-finished it was done by a wino. I could see brush marks on the barrel and magazine where it was painted (forced match). Finish was flaking; Pitted receiver on outside rear. Bore doesn't look that hot, but only one I've cleaned up the cosmoline. I'll shoot it this weekend. Other 4 were beautiful rifles. I'll shoot the odd one and put the rest away. Still very pleased. All assessories were mint.

Great rifle
Review by Matthew on 10/28/12

I received this rifle about a month ago but didnt want to review it until I was able to shoot it. Now that I have I can say this rifle is great all around. I got a 1941 Izzy that appears it was only test fired. This rifle shot great and the action was very smooth. I was thinking about replacing the stock with a monte carlo but the wood is in such great condition that the more I look at it the more I want to keep it as is. A brass stacker will complete this rifle for me. This is my first purchase from classic and I couldn't be happier. Can't wait to get a few more.

Review by Ryan on 10/23/12

Quality

I received my 91/30 today, and it's in excellent condition. Minor dents and scratches, but they just add to the mystery of it's use in another life. All serial numbers match. Barrel looks to be in great condition. It is covered in oil/cosmo and will need a tear down. I am disappointed that the sling, tool pouch, and ammo pouch have a small amount of cosmo on them. The oiler is *covered* in cosmo. All of these parts were in a large plastic bag together. I'm not holding Classic responsible for the cosmo on the accessories, as I knew what I was getting into. I purchased on 10/18 (Thursday) and received it today - Tuesday, 10/23. It was shipped via UPS with signature required. The kit came complete with the gun, sling, bayonet, oiler, 2 pouches (each a dual pouch), and a full tool kit. I'm very happy with my purchase and Classic Firearms has definitely earned my business. I've already purchased more arms from them.

I just got my 20 mosin nagants in today guns look great for the most part 1or 2 should not have been in the excellent marked box wood was a little beaten up. My biggest downer was there are only 2 hex rec Tula 1930,1935
The dates did not vary much I got 15 1943
My son the sceptic said they would pick the best out if you don't pay for hand picking!!

Hi James, Please let your son the sceptic know we do not offer hand select (even for a fee) currently AND, as you may have noticed, we don't even open the individual rifle boxes. Thus we have no idea what is inside (Tula, Hex, Dragoon Era, etc). We will start back the hand picks when we receive them by the crate. These were already boxed by the importer. Classic Firearms

Received my 5 pack of Mosins in good order. All were Izhevsk, one was a hex 1932, one a round receiver 1942 and the other three round 1943s.

its a great and accurate gun with a lot of power behind it.

currently hanging on my wall, and comes down everytime i go shooting.

unbelievable!!!

Unbelievable service from Classic Firearms! Ordered my Master Pack of 5 rifles Wednesday and received it in TN on Friday. 2 Tulas, 2 hex receivers, 1 MO marked and all great looking stocks. It is risky to buy an unopened (boxes had never been opened) Master Pack, but I took the risk and am glad I did. Classic Firearms has the best customer service in the industry these days (I remember when that wasn't the case a while back). Still can't believe how fast I received these!

I know it's a 70 year old rifle but it does say X ( For X-Cellent )

I wise I could say this was all good the rifle looks great wood is good ,looked like a nice rifle, and that's why it got 3 stars

so I started to clean it up looked at the barrel end The barrel was counter bored about 1.5" and re-crowned then looked at the rifling it's worn down not sure if I want to even shoot this thing, what else is worn out and is it safe to fire I do not know I do not have the tools to check every thing

I am no expert even I can see there are no edges just smooth bumps barely that at the receiver end(receiver just has marks in metal where the rifling was ) to
the rifling I have cleaned it so it's not dirty,

I know it's a 70 year old rifle and I was not expecting new but it does say X ( For X-Cellent ) but next time if there is one I would like to have one hand selected and bore checked

I do not blame classic firearms they just shipped the rifles on ,in future I think I need to see what am buying before I hand over cash buying online is a risk and I lost with this one

Get them while you can

Rifles Great--Accessories Trash
Review by Curt on 10/5/12

Quality

Bought 5. Rifles were in excellent condition-just as described. All Tulas. Very happy with them.

Classic does, however, need to tell the brain surgeons at Century that when they throw a useless oil bottle literally caked in cosmoline into a plastic bag together with other items made of leather and cloth, the cosmoline gets on the leather and cloth items and doesn't go away. Only those wishing to walk around the range stinking of cosmoline want that crap on their slings and ammo pouches. So the only accessory of any value is the useless oil can.

Good job by Classic scoring some high quality rifles and selling them at a good price. Typical less-than-medicore job by Century with the accessories.

I ordered the 'straight from the distributer' 5 pack of Mosin-Nagant 91/30's. UPS brought it yesterday (I have a C&R license) and it did not disappoint. The large box held 5 smaller boxes, each with a rifle, bayonet and all of the accessories. They are all indeed in excellent condition and there were 2 Tulas and a hex reciever in the lot of 5. Great guns at a great price, get 'em while you can the Mosin supply is drying up fast as people discover what awesome rifles they are.

Can you say Awesome???

Another rifle that can only be called pristine. All matching, Tula Mfg. Not a blemish anywhere on the rifle. Might just be the best one I have ever received. Thanks, Classic!!!

Review by Mike on 9/13/12

Another winner from Classic Firearms! I had asked to be notified when another shipment of Mosin Nagant M91/30 came in and was notified on the weekend. I immeadiately ordered, requested a Tula model and hex if available. Well, I didn't get the hex, but what I did get was a beautiful 1937 Tula with all matching numbers! Only a few little scratches on the butt stock, but for a 76 year old rifle, what can you expect?! I got all the accessories which are very nice and I would recommend anyone to get one of these before they start to dry up! I bought a couple of these rifles many, many years ago at Roses Dept. Store for around $29.95 and gave one to my son. they were in pretty bad condition and mine even has a cracked stock. They still shot well though. This one looks brand new compared to those! The bolt is not sticky at all and works like butter...SMOOTH! I love it. I see more in my future...at least one hex model and one with a laminated stock. I love Classic Firearms!

Awesome rifle, fast shipping and great service

I ordered a Russian M91/30 Mosin Nagant rifle from Classic Firearms and couldn't be happier. The rifle shipped fast to my home with my C&R license and it was a beauty. I paid extra for a Tula and hand select and got a beautiful 1939 rifle with all matching numbers. I would highly recommend Classic to anyone, in fact, I already have. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

Review by m0m0 on 9/1/12

I ordered a hex model over a year ago, and when I received it at first I was unhappy with the stock. It did not have any finish on it at all. It was so dry it weighed half as much as the other refurbished stocks on my other Nagants..
I called and complained about the condition the stock was in......You folks told me to ship it back.......I started a good once over of the weapon, and discovered the gun was as old as I was, 79, built in 1933...one good point in it's favor, then I discovered the chrome lined barrel , the chrome cleaning rod, and all the numbers matched except the bayonet....I found a keeper after all....I started refinishing the stock and ran into a problem, the wood was so soft,on the underside of the hand hold that instead of dust from sanding, it rolled up like wet newspaper.....I got it cleaned up as best I could I sanded all the other parts of the stock, and started layering on tung oil 24 hrs between coats, Now I have a great weapon, lighter then others and I can live with the small area that is rough .I have 5 Nagant's so far in my armory. two 880 cases of ammo, plus 300 that came on clips, plus a few boxes at my local gun shop of 20 I purchased before I ordered my first 880 case....My P64 with 1000 rounds of 9x18 Makrov is lonesome, so as soon as I get my pawn/gun dealer to send a new FFL,to the nice folks at Classic, I will order a CZ-82 to keep it company.......Happy happy is this 79 year old grumps.......

Review by Burnie on 8/27/12

Ordered two a while ago. Several months ago really. The company - excellent customer service on this transaction and a previous purchase of a saiga .223
The products - One had a repaired stock, and what looks like a new bore. The other had a much nicer stock but an obviously used, though not in bad conditioned bore and doesnt shoots quite as tight. Both easily shoot within 6" at 100yds with the iron sights though.
Im not a collector, just wanted a cheap fun bolt action and the price was so good i decided to get two. Wasnt expecting much for $90 and i definately got much more than I expected. Very satisfied. I'll probably buy more when they're back in stock as backups SHTF pass outs for friends and family.
For those contemplating their first mosin nagant be warned...its a shoulder buster if you're bony like me. Spring for the rubber butt pad.

Nice gun and fun to shoot
Review by Jack on 8/18/12

I purchased this rifle about a month ago. 1939 Tula 91/30. Transaction was very smooth and I picked it up from my local FFL a week from ordering. For some reason I was not given the opportunity to order a hand selected , so I went with the Tula model.
I was happy to find I received all the accessories except for the cleaning brush. I also received two pouches for the ammo which I'm sure one was an extra.
Expecting to remove globs of cosmoline, I was surprised to find the rifle had very little to remove. I cleaned her up and gave a light oiling and was ready to go. I was unhappy to find the top of the barrel had its share of corrosion and pitting. Even the head of the bolt showed signs of corrosion which I assume is from the use of ammo with corrosive primers. The stock was in great shape with very little nicks. The crown had been counterbored and the action seems smooth, although after shooting the first 10 rounds the bolt started sticking and was hard to open and close.
The serial numbers were matching on all parts except for the bayonet. I tried to attach the bayonet but it was tight and I had trouble getting it off the little bit that did go on.
At the range it was fun to shoot. The recoil was more then I expected and a bruised shoulder was the result. Pretty accurate for a rifle that is 73 years old and very loud.
I have to say for the money this is a great deal and a great rifle. I would buy another and plan on doing so after I get used to this one.
Thanks Classic!!!

Excellent rifle
Review by CR FFL holder on 8/17/12

I purchased a hand picked 1932 Tula.
The 1st time shooting, I noticed about every 3rd or 4th round would require a lot of force in order to chamber the round.
After a lot of research, I discovered the shell extractor needed to be adjusted. With 2 light taps from a brass hammer, the shell extractor was now where it needed to be. After shooting the Mosin a 2nd time, was when I fell in love with this rifle.
Hope this may help others who may experience this issue.
Thank you Classic Firearms !!!

Review by Dave R on 8/10/12

I ordered the TULA for an extra $15. I received a Mosin Nagant with Tula markings from 1937. Overall, the rifle cleaned up great for a gun manufactured in 1937.

Only problem I have and the reason why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, is that the bayonet does not fit and refuses to pass the front site. Bummer..

Oldie but Goody
Review by Mark on 8/8/12

My Mosin Nagant arrived quicker then expected. My transaction was extremely smooth and easy. I expected a lot more cosmoline, and had her cleaned up and out to the range at wich time it shot well except when it got hot, but a little J&B's in the chamber and another cleaning of the barrel, and no more sticky bolt or extraction problems. I love shooting it and I spend all my extra time at the range. Thanks again. I might just by another one !!

Picked it up from my dealer 6 weeks ago. It was delivered quicker than expected. I chose the upcharge for hand pick and Tula MFG. Well worth it. After a good cleaning it was in fabulous condition. All serial numbers matched. It was extremely acurate first time out this weekend. I will be adding to my collection through Classic Arms. Very good service.

Review by leighton on 8/5/12

I bought a Tula hex hand pick about a year ago and i specified clearly that all i cared about was bore condition. My plan was to sporterize it for elk hunting. The rifle I recieved had a PERFECT bore. I don't know if they normally take requests for specific things like that, and there's no way they could really hit a home run like that every time, but GREAT JOB! I ended up having to sell that one to pay some bills... Months later, things came together again and I was ordering a CCW pistol from a different well-known online company with free shipping and I thought I'd pick up another mosin from them at the same time (because of the free shipping). I'm not at all happy with what I received from the other company. Because I can sell it easily for 150 on armslist, I think I will do that and order another hand pick Tula hex from Classic Firearms. Plus, I like supporting Christian companies. I'm also wishing I had just bought a radom from Classic Firearms instead of the CCW piece I bought from the other company. Would have had money left for scopes and ammo.

Tula M91/30 Mosin Nagant Rifle
Review by nicholas on 8/2/12

Quality

After cleaning the cosmoline off the rifle, I'm not exactly thrilled with condition of rifle as the other reviews.

Wood seeems to be mismatched and most of the bluing is gone on one side of the trigger/mag body. I used steam to remove the cosmo and no chemicals due to allergies.

I selected the Tula upgrade and made the mistake in assuming it was a hand pick option as well, which is not the case...My mistake.

I would not order this again with out a hand pick option.


Classic Firearms response: Hi Nicholas - We do apologize you are not happy with the overall condition of your rifle due to bluing missing from one side of the trigger/mag body. Please bear in mind these are "used" military surplus weapons that are 70+ years old :) In any event, we do not want you to be unhappy with your purchase and we are happy to allow you to return the rifle for a refund or exchange. If you'd like to exchange, I will personally hand pick your new rifle (no additional charge) for you to ensure you get one to meet your expectations. Since you posted your review as "guest", I do not have any contact info you, so please reach out to me at your convenience and I'll gladly assist you. God Bless.....Rick Jones

Review by jake on 7/26/12

ordered 3 rifles nearly a month ago so its long due for a review.

1st two were hand selected tulas and both were received in excellent condition, one even came with brass caps over the sling inserts. one was counter bored and the other normal barrel. furniture was near perfect with little to no blemishing, 95%. bluing was 95% with minor wear towards the crowns. barrel on 1938 tula was excellent while other 1940 counterbore was slightly dark.

last was hand select,1944 izshevsk only. barrel was the brightest of all 3. furniture was more worn than the tulas and bluing was 95% intact.

actions on all 3 rifles are smooth. both tulas received had all matching #s including the bayonets, Izzy came with all matching #s on the rifle save for the bayonet. but this wasnt a problem for me. took them all on multiple shooting trips since and all functioned excellent.

only reason i gave this review 4 stars was because of the wait felt a bit too long for my tastes. all in all, great investment for me.

Exellent product. Will do business again. Great prices.

Customer Service Counts
Review by LJ on 6/26/12

A couple of weeks ago I had ordered a hand picked Tula from Classic Arms. Upon receipt of the weapon I had noticed water damage on the furniture.

I took the weapon home and proceeded to clean the Cosmoline off and upon removing the wood I noticed dents in the barrel that could not be seen when the weapon was dressed. After complete disassesmbly and cleaning the weapon off all grease I reassembled and loaded a stripper. Upon trying to cycle the weapon any round after the 2nd would not go into battery and damaged the cases beyond use.

The next day I called Classic Arms and spoke with Lisa who informed me that the weapon should not have been shipped. She was very pleasant and informed me to send the weapon back for replacement.

After receiving the return label I returned the first Tula and received the most stunning 1940 Tula example I have ever seen. I looks like it has never been fired!

Now a nice product means a lot to me but more than anything it is customer service that make me a loyal and repeat customer.

Classic Arms has won that respect from and I will be buying again .

Thank You Lisa and Classic Arms for making good a mistake.
