The "Ladies Wall", very nice!!

[Dutch Mosin]

It is very difficult, if not impossible to find Mosin Nagant accessories in the Netherlands.
I drive over to Germany a couple of times per year and try to buy some.
I did buy a few on E-bay, but after I had some problems with a seller I stopped doing that.

Here's a picture of some of the oilers I have.
It's not a second collection.
They just make my rifles complete.

Mister £, is that little piece of line on the right a Finnish wartime bore snake that is mentioned in Palokangas' book? TIA.

Yes, it is. I don´t know, how much they were actually used. It belonged to "Emergency" cleaning kit, which had oil bottle and bag in addition to this cleaning rope.

?Antti, care if you offload those two round handle driver handles?

Thanks for the info. Mine is on its way. Now I only need to find an appropriate bag somewhere. A regular unmarked or SA marked G.W.S. made grease bottle is correct for this kit, yes?

Sean, I can only wish I had as cool accessories as Lemmy.

Correct. This "emergency cleaning kit" has been mentioned in "Taisteluvälinesotavarustuksen nimikeluettelo, Konekivääri- ja kranaatinheitinkomppaniat" in 1942.

My collecting is very eclectic just never met a gun I didn't like. But mostly I tend to enjoy bolt action military guns. And I try to get everything the rife was issued with, or what the soldier would have to keep his tool working.
I recently bought my first mosin (which the dealer claimed was unissued but I'm betting most likely just re-arsenaled) 91/30 1942 all matching with a number matched Bayonet. So I'm going to be looking for the cleaning kit, sling oil bottel and tool kit.
I do have a question, is there a bayonet carrier or hanger that goes with the bayonet?? Or did the comrade just shove it in his belt?
i've held off on getting the mosin's cause well i just don't care for the look of straight gripped rifle stocks. but i do think that little m44 carbine is neat as hell... thats next on the to get list..

Interesting thread. Accessories never interested me much, as I only collect things that my children (or their spouses) might enjoy and find interesting. Some months back however Century had a deal on Mosin-Nagants, and I bought a couple cases of them. Along with them came boxes of accessory sets, one for each rifle. When I looked at them they seemed a bit eclectic with tool kits having different tools in some, oil cans of many different types, bayonets, and ammo pouches of different designs. I was interested, and I set them aside to go through later, On to the rifles I opened them only to discover that each came with yet another accessory kit of tools, bayonets, ammo pouches, and oil cans. Century often does stuff like this, specially when I buy in bulk from them, so I didn't think much about it.

Later after I'd sorted through the rifles, cleaned and identified each, and separated out the really exceptional ones I looked at the boxes of accessories, and my interest began to grow. I still haven't really spent a lot of time with them, but I can see how the many variants of accessories can peak one's interest.

I have acumulated a pile of Mosin Nagant accesories over the years. Last night while unpacking an M38 from Dans I recived this ammo pouch. I have never seen one like it. I would have thought 1989 as being kinda late to be making Mosin ammo pouches. Any thoughts?

[Kingleo]

I got the same one, it is I think an SVT 40 pouch...

[themosinator]

I didn't think much of the accessories at first. But then, after looking at them closer...I noticed that there are differences and peculiarities about all of them! Unfortunately this means just another extension of my already dangerous Mosin addiction!!

I have heard that you can sometimes find some interesting stuff left (or placed) in the ammo pouches...has anyone ever found anything interesting (or that didn't necessarily belong) in their accessory bag??

I bought a laminated stocked 91/30 last week that came with the normal ammo pouch...AND...this one as well...I didn't know what to think at first, or what type of firearm it was SUPPOSED to be associated with, I was just happy to get "something extra"...now I will hafta go out and get a Yugo 59/66 SKS to go with my shiny, new milsurp. ammo pouch!!...

[joel_black@netzero.com]

Could this bayonet be from a M-N 44? The blade is 12 1/4" long. If so, does it have any value?

Does the bayonet have a screwdriver like tip? If not it could be Chinese SKS.

[joel_black@netzero.com]

Thanks for the reply. Yes, it does have a screwdriver tip.

[ak47citizensoldier]

Yeah I love the accesories availiable for the mosins especialy orignal ww2 stuff. I haven't got any yet though

[kh]

As you can see here there is much to look for!!!

[themosinator]

Okay!!!...for my 1000th post, I am going to post the 10 Cleaning kits that accompany my first 10 Mosins (note: Mosin #4 doesn't have a kit yet[difficult to find the tube-style cleaning kit], and Mosin #10 [my m24] isn't in my collection until next week)...

I have taken several liberties with a few items, but...we'll see what (and if) comments arise as a result of my guesswork!!...(I realize I am still missing the wooden muzzle cover for my m27...but, still working on that)

Thanks to ALL of the various members of GB for all of the input, for sharing from your personal collections, and for just being good guys helping a "newb" get his collection of Mosins to have the appropriate accessories to accompany them!!!...

...enjoy!!...thanks for looking and commenting!!!...

[themosinator]

...and, here's the rest:

[caver]

Thermos, nice display!

Thermos, nice display!

Thermos!!!...I like that!!...I have also been given the "Thermos-inator" moniker as well...pretty funny...

(it was originally supposed to be a Mosin-based joke, poking fun at our former Austrian-origined, CA Governor (The Governator)...based on the whole Terminator thing...ya know, Themosinator?!?!)

but, Thermosinator is pretty funny!!!...hahhaaaaa

[USMCsean]

Switch the jag from Tuuli with Vahna Rouva. The earlier rifles need that jag with the thin ribs. The later ones get the thick ribs. Follow me?

[themosinator]

Ahhhhh...got it now, Sean!!...must've been having a "blonde" moment...thanks!!!

Correct. This "emergency cleaning kit" has been mentioned in "Taisteluvälinesotavarustuksen nimikeluettelo, Konekivääri- ja kranaatinheitinkomppaniat" in 1942.

Now it's finished. Finally.

Of course, it's enjoyable to collect anything that has some significant meaning to the collector. To suggest a milsurp rifle is complete only with its accessories is totally missing the point of collecting (and I'm not saying you did, you asked the question).

Would one discard an 1871 Mod71 Mauser because it didn't have a sling or even its nose cap (description of my personal Mod71)?

To believe that a rifle (or any weapon) isn't complete because it doesn't have its "trimmings" is to use the same ill-guided logic that concludes an RC K98 to "not be a real" K98, when in fact, they possess more war history than the others. To believe that a milsurp with mis-matched parts is somehow "not right" is pure fantasy. Arsenals did what they had to to keep weapons serviceable so that they could be used to kill the enemy. Most importantly, the troop it was issued to couldn't have cared less about the serial numbers, etc., but only that it operated well and he could get ammo.

I carried an M16 for more than 10 years in the Army and was never issued a bayonet. Granted, we weren't expecting to use them thankfully but the point being that troops of all sorts throughout the ages did not have all the items made for their weapon either - why should we the collector. If a milsurp was ever once in it's lifetime, "correct," then it was when the troop it was issued to carried it. It is sheer arrogance for any of us to think otherwise.

There are three types of collectors: Investors, Collectors, and Shooters, The investor being only that. The latter two having true appreciation of the weapon... MHO is that if you can have only one accessory for a milsurp, it should be ammo! I guess that's just the old soldier in me... in combat, I only worried about ammo, not accessories.

I do, however, love the trimmings. They are historical artifacts and if one appreciates history then how can one not? Enjoy it all I say, don't worry about how "complete" or "correct" it all is. Even so, I have had plenty of successful days at the range without slings, bayonets, and oil bottles but never a successful day without ammo.

My old DCM Garand is directly from the Army depot in Anniston AL... was refurbed an looked brand new when I received it, although, slightly mis-matched... is someone going to convince me that it's not "correct" when in fact, it's in the configuration that the armorers put it in for continued service? If so, then maybe SA should fire up again and crank out brand new ones so we can all have "correct" ones. I would rather buy a half-dozen "rat grade" CMP rifles that they scraped from the bowels of the Greek arsenals. A good friend has a saying when it comes to collecting milsurps, "If it doesn't look like it killed anyone, I don't want it." I think that's a bit extreme but I get his point and I agree.

The bottom line is that enjoying what you collect is what matters. These boards are fantastic for being able to enjoy others efforts as well, and the learning potential is incredible. These are the things that matter.

You got that just right.

I do like the accessories, I started prowling through my oil bottles and realized that I had a collection working.
The oil bottles are just cool as grits to me.

Here is a post about a Soviet "tube-style tool kit" I found awhile back!...

Fellow Californian GunBoards member, Bill May, asked me to post some photos of his Mosin Nagant stripper clip collection (10 Izhevsk, 3 Polish, and 1 Chinese brass), so...here goes:

[Dirtcowboy]

Let me start off saying that over the years I have acquired quite alot of refurb Mosin Nagant accessories. Well, I was going through them today and found a few oddities. All of this stuff came with the modern imports of refurbs. I guess I have a collection and did'nt even know it!

- I have 4 different kinds of tool pouches

- 4 Different kinds of bolt tools.

-A half brass half steel patch holder.

-2 Original? pigskin leather dog collars

- Only 2 slings out of about 25 that you can easily read the date

- A sling with white paint on the hardware instead of green, or nothing

-One ammo pouch with a D-ring out of MANY.

Nice collection, Dirtcowboy!!

[CactuS]

Wow you guys have some neat ways to display your accessories/guns. If the accessories come with the gun I'm all for it. I haven't gone out of my way yet (well except finding an original K98 cleaning rod on ebay - makes the gun look 5X more interesting) to be finding accessories. I appreciate them and love to look and feel them but they just don't do it for me. If my gun has a bayonet and an original/great repro sling, and cleaning rods and whatever else the gun had on it when it left the arsenal i feel its complete. A gun just looks strange if it doesn't have a sling and a cleaning rod... Like someone else said above: a gun just looks naked without a sling.

I wish my M95 Steyr would put on some pants...freakin me out in the gun cabinet haha

[knuckle dragger]

OK. Does anyone have any information on my little Finn trinket?
Thanks for any assistance!
