Well I'll get it going.

Somebody runs around with this quote

    The only way to avoid Mosin #2 is avoid Mosin #1!

  HOLY mother of mosin.

Wow. That is a sick collection man.

[running-man]

Carl, you have issues. 

If I bought a Mosin, I'd have those very same issues!  This is why I refuse to start! 

"I said I was an addict. I didn't say I had a problem." is a pretty appropriate sig line

[Greasemonkey]

Don't fear it, 

Because

The only way to avoid Mauser #2 is avoid Mauser #1!

[Dannyboy53]

You obviously didn't avoid the first one...or the 2nd...or the 3rd...etc.

VERY nice looking collection GM!

Ok , who here, can eat just one potato chip, or eat just one Oreo, just drink one beer,    If you say me, your lying

Thanks Danny

Good point Greasemonkey!

From what I am seeing and hearing a lot of non-collector average shooters like me are buying the Mosin and SKS. Their popularity doesn't seem to be diminishing with time. It might have started out with many of them because it was an inexpensive rifle/carbine to hunt, target shoot and protect the family with. However it appears from their comments they are finding out these old shooters are a great addition to the family arsenal and still has a lot to offer. That hasn't changed over the years!

Pssh. No Sestroryetsk? No Remington?
I'm not impressed. Work on it. 

I'll throw this out there- M91s shoot every bit as well as the 39s.

[running-man]

Which is equally poor?

I'm just wondering how many small mallets GM has to be able to cycle all those sticky bolts!

Ok, ok I'm done making fun of those boat anchors. (For now). Still not feeling the allure though, this is a good thing!

[Greasemonkey]

They are close, in this bunch, the '44 VKT is the top, followed closely by the M28. One little thing I've found with the M39s, they are very close to a K31, they also respond to barrel band tightness, not too tight and not too loose. The one other nice thing about the M39 is the sight setup when compared to the M91.


And Finland didn't make a Sestroryetsk or Remington

And I done told ya, no hammers needed for any of them

Did I mention the M38 I saw today with a $169 price tag?
C'mon... you know you wanna...

Even Tigger loves the Mosin Nagant...

FIREBALLS Come on, say it , yea, thats kinda impressive, thats ok, I understand. You jelly brah!!!

[Dannyboy53]

Perfect timing...that's cooler than a popsicle!!!

[edritchey]

Yeah it's not all original but it's a Mosin 

[Stoned_Oli]

Perfect timing...that's cooler than a popsicle!!!

It's easy! Shoot video and do a screen cap with VLC... That one and this one came from my phone....

[routeus1]

Mosin as a strobe...

[sheepdog]

I've got just one.





This might have something to do with it.



Boy it's nervous sharing a safe with all those Mausers. Three of them really have it out for the lone Mosin too.

[Greasemonkey]

Nice 

Thats ok, Sheepy, imagine how my M/94 and M/96 Swedes feel in the safe with the Mosins.   But, with most being Finnish, there may not be too much problem.

[sheepdog]

Fifth from the right, a 1922 SA marked M96. Something about a Winter War. The Mosin really needs to watch out for that one.

[Greasemonkey]

Sweet, even better, a Swede with a Finnish attitude
