Mosin Nagant Theories, Opinions, and Observations

The MO mark is now known to represent a refurbishment facility. One of these days I'll update this page with more information. The following is left here just to show that there's always more to learn about Mosins.

-----------------------outdated information follows----------------------

The purpose of this page is to illustrate a combination of markings found on Mosin Nagant rifles that are not yet fully understood. The rifles are commonly known as "MO marked" by collectors. The markings consist of the initials "MO" and one, in some cases two, two digit numbers added after the original manufacture date. The "MO" and the added numbers may or may not be related. The markings are found on M91/30, M38, M44, and M91/59 Mosin Nagants and M1895 Nagant revolvers. Two captured Mauser 98k rifles with an MO mark has been observed. No other models of Mosin Nagants or SVTs have been observed with the marks. One TT-33 has surfaced that has second date and a very faint mark that is believed to be an MO.

MO is known to be the Russian abbreviation for "Ministerstvo Oborony", or Ministry of Defense. The Defense Ministry was established on March 15th, 1953 in a merger of the Military and Naval Ministries (Voennoe Ministerstvo, Voenno-Morskoe Ministerstvo, "BM" and "BMM"). The numbers are thought to represent dates because of their placement and the fact that they are always larger than the previous date. However, all the known dates are between 1942 and 1953 when there was no MO except for the last nine and a half months of 1953. There are a few known firearms with double dates that lack the MO mark, but they are the rare exception. Likewise, few MO marked firearms without a second date have been reported. There is an obvious relationship between the date and MO marks yet just as obvious a conflict with the establishment of the MO and the dates.

Based on information from sources in the former Soviet Union the MO marked firearms were used by the Defense Ministry Militarized Security force, or "Voenizirovannaya Ohrana MO", abbreviated VOHR MO. Those are not per se troops, but security guards employed by the MO. They wore military uniforms with special insignia of position (not rank insignia) and were separate from the army. These units were used to guard various MO facilities.

It is possible that the date markings were placed on the firearms at the time of transfer from the army proper to the security force of some forerunner of the MO. These marks may also be unrelated to the MO mark. The MO mark itself is thought to have been placed on the firearms after March 15th, 1953, either at the time of transfer from regular army stocks or to mark all VOHR firearms. The practice of applying the MO mark probably ended before 1959 as few M1891/59 Mosins are known to have the MO mark. However, only a small percentage of the rifles in Russian arsenals have been imported to the US so the statistical sample is small. These theories have not been confirmed and are being researched at this time.

No more data is being added to the page as it likely won't add to what is already known.

Thanks to Lt. S. of the Russian Reserves, Tuco, Vic and the members of Gunboards.com, Karl-Heinz Wrobel, author of Drei Linien - Die Gewehre Mosin-Nagant, and Dennis Kroh of Empire Arms for their research and contributions to the information on this page. - 7.62x54r

Notes on findings to date:
The "typical" range for second dates is 1942 to 1953, inclusive.
The "typical" range for third dates is 1946 to 1953, inclusive.
Third dates don't occur on second dates past 1950.

This page includes 175 firearms with 105 pictures.
