These deformities can cause accuracy issues on the rifle. Modern stocks, especially polymer, are not susceptible to water damage and deformity. Also, these stocks can offer a free-floating barrel, which also works wonders for accuracy potential. The Archangel is probably the coolest looking Mosin stock on the market.

Advanced Technologies Monte Carlo stock is a simple option for a simple rifle. The Monte Carlo name seems somewhat exotic and out there, in reality, a Monte Carlo stock is quite conventional. Monte Carlo stocks shave a lot of weight off of a weapon but shortening the stock underneath the barrel, and completely removing the wood from above the barrel.
The Monte Carlo stock is much lighter than a wartime stock and is often known as sporter stocks. The ATI Monte Carlo stock is made from a chemical, moisture, and impact resistant polymer that is lighter, and ultimately more durable than wooden stocks. The Monte Carlo stock from ATI also has their Scorpion recoil pad that reduces that recoil fueled pain from that old school metal butt plate.
The ATI stock has a raised cheekpiece that is much friendlier when using a scope and is simply more comfortable in any shooting situation.
The ATI Monte Carlo stock gives the Mosin Nagant a sleeker appearance, less mil surp like, and gives the rifle a more modern, sporting look. Birch wood. Type with toe splice. Type without a toe splice. Beech stock made by Arsenal 1. There have been a lot of discussions about laminated stocks. Soviets tested stocks made from laminated wood since the late 's, but only a few trial stocks were made and the tests were unsuccessful. Until there was no production of laminated stocks despite some online sources claiming otherwise.
Mass production of laminated stocks started in the mid 's trials were made in very late 's - early 's , these were birch laminated stocks made by Arsenal 1. These stocks had wrist bolts for preventing cracks in this area.
Wrist bolts were also used during repairs of regular stocks more details are provided in the section about repair depots modifications. Birch laminated stock with wrist bolt. Mid 's and later production. Arsenal 1. There is a belief about the existence of "early" Soviet laminated stocks from beech wood they exist only in M38 and M44 carbine stocks configuration.
The problem is that there is no information in factory and Soviet repair depot documentation about them. Construction is atypical to soviet stocks - beech was very rarely used in soviet stocks, barrel band springs are riveted instead of welded, sling slot insert are blued sometimes they are not and so on.
So far there is no evidence that they are soviet produced. This website is not a place for unconfirmed theories, but a small exclusion is possible - it is very plausible that these stocks were made from 98k carbine stock blanks postwar in the Soviet occupation zone as a reparation. However, please did not accept this version as completely correct, merely a theory.

During wartime their number was increased. This modification allowed using shorter mm instead mm and more narrow mm instead of mm stock blanks. Izhevsk and Tula made spliced stocks had a V shape joint, repairs made by the Main Artillery Directorate depots, and repair depots had dovetail or U-shape arc joints. Factory toe splice is easy to spot - it is longer and ends under the sling slot. Starting in the majority of stocks in M44 production were issued with a toe splice.
Judging from surviving samples, at least in the Izhevsk factory used toe splice with a dovetail joint in production. Considering the fact that such a method was not included into the drawings in that period, this was a trial feature made in limited numbers. Factory dovetail joint is still longer that repair depot made - the main goal of this feature on factory issued stocks was to make possible the use of narrow stock blanks, that's why a longer joint was required.

On the the top - longer Izhevsk factory toe splice, on the bottom - shorter splice on a postwar Arsenal 1 produced solid wood birch stock. Photo courtesy of Yurij Shevchenko. However, there were few production modifications.
Generally, hanguards of this type were used on M91 dragoons - it was designed in , and introduced into production in in Izhevsk and in in Tula. This production pattern was the only one used by both factories up to the Autumn of , when the Izhevsk factory introduced some simplifications to the production.
Copper rivets were typical to Izhevsk brass rivets are unusual to Izhevsk , while Tula used both copper and brass rivets. In the Autumn of Izhevsk brass caps on the handguard were replaced with steel caps blued , they were stacked instead of riveted.
Those changes made production much cheaper. Izhevsk used this pattern up to the end of the production in The newly created factory in Tula, during and , used the prewar pattern - brass caps with brass rivets. However, in , their machining was much less accurate compared to prewar handguards. In the factory switched to the stacked steel caps similar to the Izhevsk pattern and used them up to the end of the production in Some postwar replacement handguards, made by repair depots, had stacked brass caps.
Odd varieties, like aluminum caps, aluminum caps with rivets, are repair depot production. On the left - prewar handguard with brass caps and copper brass rivets, in the middle - with steel stcked caps, on the reight - with brass stacked caps.
Rough Factory Tula produced handguard. Instead of solid barrel bands, barrel bands with a button connection, designed by I. Fedortsev, were introduced. These bands were used until in Izhevsk and up to in Tula. Solid M91 dragoon bands. Bands with a button connection. In late the Izhevsk factory created new design of the barrel bands, without a button connection. It was submitted for trials and was introduced into mass production in late in Izhevsk.
Izhevsk factory completely switched to the new type in , Tula - in Spring barrel bands without a button connection. Nosecaps have two production variations - one is a milled type, the other is stamped. Milled type is the earlier variation, but for a long time period both types were produced together.
The stamped type was designed by the Tula factory in the mid 's, after this Tula produced only the stamped type. The Izhevsk factory produced the milled type until mid , they switched to the tamped type only in the Autumn of
