Question for the Mosin-Nagant owners - The Firearms Forum

mesinge2 · 05-23-2010, 08:39 AM

I just bought an M91/30 from Century International Imports. What concerns me is that it has two SNs. Two on the receiver and one on both the bolt and bayonet. One of the SNs looks cut in by hand on the receiver, bolt, and bayonet.

Is this a mismatched bolt?

I am worried about headspacing

It was "forced matched" when it was re-arsenaled. Someone was lazy and didn't re-serial the parts. Shoot it!
