Like most people here, we don't just collect SKS's i fell down the Mosin-Nagant rabbit hole years ago. It seems I've never hit the bottom of the hole.  Enjoy.

Outstanding, Sindone! A small fortune in just the accessories, but man-o-man a 27RV!! Are you lucky enough to have found one with a matching bolt? Even without, it's a heckuva find. And a question: on the 27RVs I've been privileged to handle, all seem to have had the sling slot in the stock cut with a brace and bit, and brought to final form with what looked like hand chisel work. Is yours that way? And again, VERY nice collection!

Can relate, as I fell down the Mosin rabbit hole at the beginning. My first milsurp was an M91/30, perhaps the most common gateway drug to the milsurp habit  :))

Great collection! Your bayonet, and wire cutter collections are especially envy-eliciting!  8)

Very nice collection though Sindone.  If I had one, that's what I'd hope it would look like!  thumb1

Nice collection. The closest I ever came to a Mosin Nagant collection was an empty shipping/storage crate that I ended up not keeping.
My Avatar is a pic of the real "Ghost" SKS in honor of xxxsks(joe). It is a pic of a fully decked out SKS in Capco hunter's kit. This was mine, the only other pic I had ever seen of one was Joe's.

Thank you. 
The bolt doesn't match unfortunately.  The sling slot is very well cut out. Much deeper and better than the M91rv above it. The M27rv has the unit disc.

The bayonet collection has some very rare pieces. Last i heard there was 5 known m1915 bayonets. I just purchased a m39 sample
bayonet.  It's 1 of 4 made.

Apparently I put this in the shotgun section.  Can it be moved to the appropriate location
