Mosin-Nagant hex receiver

[Soundguy]

post a pic ( or email me one ) if you can.

Have you looked on gunbroker for a bbl?

finding one for a m39 will be tough.. not may people parting those.

in the end.. you might be money ahead to sell that one and buy a cheap variant, type 53, 91/30, etc... if you are looking for a shooter.

Here is a picture of it. It's hard to get any pics of barrel markings. It's pretty ugly, guess I just got a bit over excited when I found out it wasn't just a regular production M91/30.

you can always look under the tang for a date and hammer symbol ( tula )

poor thing has lost it's wood....

So, I was playing on Gunbroker.com app; and found several barreled receivers of M91/30; several for cheaper than just a barrel. Would my bolt, magazine, trigger group just drop into another (round) reciever, buy a $49 stock and save the hex reciever for "one of these days" project?

the m39 could have a improved 2 stage trigger, and better disconnector / seperator for magazine usage.. but if the stock has shims, it's a fitted part. mixing and matching may get you rim lock. also.. there are minor mods to fin'd bolts and to the feed ramp area at the rcvr.

I would NOT look to mix and match parts...

if you want a cheap mosin variant shooter.. buy a cheap mosin variant shooter.

m39 wood, as you will notice, looks very very different than any other models wood.

could you repurpose another stock and make it work? probably.

Hello,

That's not an M39. Though it's hard to tell what it is from that pic, it's likely an M24, M27, or M28. The M28/30 and later don't have dovetail rear sights, and I'm pretty sure I see a dovetail on there. The M39 has a pistol grip wrist, not a straight wrist.

What's the front sight look like?

It could be I'm mis-seeing things due to the blurry pic.

This thread is what got me here, so I'll follow it.

Regards,

Josh

The front site is gone, it was part of the barrel that was cut off. The main reason I came up with the M39 was the 1942 Belgium barrel, the 7.62x54 (not 7.62x53; D stamp). The rear site was hard soldered I think but I'm not looking at it right now, so I'm not 100%
