Default I bought a mosin nagant the other day

Gander mountain had an interesting deal for only 100 bucks.

my question is, can somebody explain all of these parts:

I know one of them is used to get the cleaning rod out of the gun, but i have no clue on the rest of them.

The little tool with the different sized notches cut down one side can be used as a screw driver and also measures your firing pin protrusion, When you uncock the bolt you want the firing pin to touch the smallest one but NOT touching the deepest one. If it's too short you'll get miss fires, too long and you will pierce the primers so check it everytime you pull the bolt appart.

The round cup thing is a bore guide that you slip over the muzzle when cleaning, they're ment to prevent damage to the muzzle but often don't because they're drilled off center. The little 3" long pin looking thing slips through the hole on your cleaning rod to make a T handle. The other thing that screws onto the tip of your rod is what you wrap solvent soaked patches around. The other thingo is ment to be used as part of the handle but it seems pretty useless.

Check out surplusrifle.com and http://7.62x54r.net/

Also what year/Model is you MN?

did you take it out yet? Make sure you clean it thoroughly because of all the cosmoline. Also it you are interested in refinishing the stock I can help you but it may loose some of its collector value if you decide to use modern finishes. I can also give you tips on how to bleed the stock of the cosmoline. Theboxotruth.com has a nice guide on accurizing mosin rifles.

These may be useful to you (for accurizing and fixing up your rifle)
fixing a split stock:

Bedding your rifle stock(he uses a m44 as an example):

Looks like it's in nice condition, congrats ;) .

The dark stock looks sexy too, mosins don't look right with 'blonde' stocks IMO.

Narnia. It is a silly place.

Cool purchase! I love my Nagant, it's an M91/30 from 1935. Regardless you might wanna double check and see if your numbers truly match ... my Nagant has a bolt from Izhevsk, the rest is from Tula I believe. Everything refitted after the war and restamped with matching numbers. Just a thought. :)
