Cleaned up my 1933 hex receiver Mosin

Here she is

Bore looks good! Wish I had a way to get a pic of the bore. Mostly shiny and rifling in good shape. Range report next week

Looks awesome.  Who made the receiver?  I was surprised when cleaning mine it was a Remington.  It had been of course rearsenaled a time or two after it was made...

Can't tell. As far as I know, all the 91/30s were made in china or in Russia

The other variants earlier had a few American manufacturers

I'm pretty sure China only made M44 (Type 53).

Original manufacturers were Sestrotretsk, Izhevsk and Tula in Russia, Chatellerault in France, New England Westinghouse and Remington in US. Those made infantry and dragoon rifles. A lot of dragoons were later re-arsenaled into 91/30 configuration, so it's possible to have a non-Russian receivered 91/30, but they didn't start out that way.

Yeah you're right

Man. I love this thing. It cleaned up so nice. Much better than my previous 91/30

Very nice, especially the tin of cheap ammo. I feel like perhaps my Mosin experience was not complete with my previous ownership of only a noisy and sometimes accurate M-44.

That was my experience.

Many Mosins have muzzle wear from overzealous cleaning with steel rods, and that is what gives them the reputation of being inaccurate.
