1894 Mosin-Nagant M1891 Tula Imperial Pre WW1 Finnish
For Sale: Restored Finnish captured Mosin-Nagant M1891 "3-Line Rifle" manufactured by Tula Imperial in 1894 chambered in 7.62x54mmR. This rifle has been restored via rust bluing which is how these would have been originally done back in the day. The stock has also been refinished through boiled linseed oil, also correct way these stocks were originally done, not how they were refurbished with shellac. Every part has been thoroughly restored and brought back to it's original condition. All parts that were originally left in the white have been polished. This gun is in amazing condition and is by far the most beautiful pre WW1 Mosin I have seen. This particular one is a super early dated 1894 and has a low serial number 120k, extremely low considering there were 30+ million Mosins produced. This one is also a Finnish captured one as denoted by the SA on the left side of the the chamber end of the barrel. This is less common to find today and from my knowledge, since the stock is dated 1899, the upper handguard was added on by the Finns, however I can't confirm this but would be my thinking as upper handguards weren't original pre 1902. This gun is not all matching. The only thing that matches the barrel/receiver is the bolt except for the cocking piece. I know the Finn's mixed parts up when they captured Mosins so this is common for Finnish captured Mosins, finding an all matching Finn Mosin is nearly impossible. All other parts as far as I can tell are Tula made though just different serial numbers. The stock was produced in 1899 as indicated by a stamp on the rear of the butt and a stamp on the right side as well. As far as condition goes, the metal itself is amazing especially being 130 years old. There is some minor pitting on the barrel underneath the rear sight as well as some on the sides of the chamber, but the stock hides it up and is usual given how old it is and continuous exposure to moisture inside the stock. The stock has a few dings and were eliminated as best as possible however there's 2 deeper dents on the left side near the hand groove in front of the magazine housing. There's also a 1 1/2 inch repair section on the left side of the rear of the barrel end near the cleaning rod but is fully in tact. The bore has great rifling with no signs of pitting, though is has been counterbored about 2 3/4 inch which is a good thing for something this old and for it to still be a great shooter. This definitely indicates that it had front line forward use and saw action. But even still, the rifling remains strong and doesn't seem to have any impact on accuracy, in fact, it's probably one of the most accurate mosins I've owned, though, it does shoot high like most milsurps from this time period. This being an antique, I can ship directly to your residence which is always nice. If you're looking for a beautiful example of these much harder to come by early Mosins, this is your gun!

Iver Johnson "American Bull Dog", .38 RF short and long Revolver Iver Johnson was one of the most prolific makers of pocket revolvers in America, from 1871 to nearly the present. One of the earliest makers of bulldog-type, double action revolvers, the Iver Johnson American Bull Dog is well known and in demand. These were made by Johnson's and the relief grip showing the American eagle on a shield is typical of Johnson's ware. ​ This one is in very fine to excellent condition, with 99% original nickel. The action is accurate and strong, and the cylinder indexes and locks properly with no play. The bore of the 2 1/2-inch barrel is good with strong rifling throughout. The black hard-rubber grips are excellent and undamaged. SN 2407, excellent overall. History & Background Iver Johnson (1841-1895) was a Norwegian gunsmith who came from Bergen to America in 1863. He found work immediately at Ethan Allen's factory in Worcester, Mass. where he met Martin Bye. Johnson worked at Allen's through the civil war years, as demand for firearms was high, and work was plentiful. By 1871 Johnson and Bye had decided to venture out on their own and founded Johnson Bye & Co. in Worcester, moving to Fitchburg by 1891. In 1883 Martin Bye left the company, selling his interest to Iver. The company name was changed to its most famous form, "Iver Johnson's Arms & Cycle Works, Fitchburg, Mass.", a name it would retain until the outbreak of the First World War. Iver Johnson did not only produce a large variety of firearms, they were also famous for their excellent quality bicycles and motorcycles. The company would remain in business until 1993. The name was "revived" in 2006 and the brand is still used today.
