[Funderb]

[Cosmoline]

My current go-to home defense rifle, in its tacticool glory:



Go ahead, grab the other end! I dare ya

 

[KiltedClaymore]

its duct tape. to keep the tip from stabbing my hand. again.

 

[nwilliams]

Here's mine

Tula ex-sniper hex receiver (1936)



Here she is again with my Nagant revolver

 

[lencac]

Cosmoline, Wow you must really have a strong grip. I tried that but it kept falling to the floor before I could snap the shot

 

[SigfanUSAF]

My current go-to home defense rifle, in its tacticool glory:

Cosmoline, I was gonna post something smart about overpenatration, but, remembering the background of your Swiss 1911/bicycle combo pics, I'm guessing hitting neighbors ain't a worry for you

Back to the topic at hand...
Two of my Mosins.....

 

[KiltedClaymore]

wait... cosmoline, what is with your mosin's front sight?

 

[Cosmoline]

It's a standard Tikka front sight. A little higher than the standard M-91.

Cosmoline, Wow you must really have a strong grip

I was on my back at the time, so gravity helped me. I was trying to get the whole rifle in the frame, but that's not easy with a 52" monster.

 

[KiltedClaymore]

and nwilliams, i have fallen in love with both of those guns. they look pristeen!

 

[Cosmoline]

Here's an earlier Tikka M91 with some grouse in my old shed



And a pair of fine Finns I foolishly sold

 

[KiltedClaymore]

you sleep in your shed?

 

[Vaarok]

My favorite M-39, a Civil Guard marked that was issued to a left-handed shooter judging by the grime patterns on the stock.

Plus a bunch more I don't have pics of.

 

[KiltedClaymore]

why are some so blessed?

 

[lencac]

Yeah, he sleeps in the shed cause his mom won't let him in the house with those nasty dead birds

 

[Cosmoline]

Vaarok, I'm going to guess that L to R, No. 1, 4, 6, and 8 are US made M-91's. No. 5 is Finn'ed

Yeah, he sleeps in the shed cause his mom won't let him in the house with those nasty dead birds

I actually lived in that shed for awhile when I was off grid. It's still up at the Willow compound, under the former roommate management. It's used for tools now. Got mighty cold at times, but I learned how to construct a very nice bed out of old army blankets. You can see part of it. Crude, but fun. I could make dinner on the high powered propane tripod outside and then watch DVD's on the little TV running off a honda 2000. I once shot five or six squirrels in a single morning, all without getting out of bed. I nailed them with the CZ out my open door as one after another came to claim the territory the previous one had just given up.

jefus vaarok.
I wish that were my collection.

 

[TIMC]

My little 91/30 after a workout. 64 years old and she can still take out those swine.

 

[mp510]

Finnish M-39 by VKT. Built to superior quality from a Russian Mosin in 1941.

 

[james_bond]

My M-44

 

[strat81]

That's sweet, Bond!

 

[ArchAngelCD]

Here's a M44:



The rear stock of my 91/30:



The M44 & 91/30 together:

 

[cwmcgu2]

My Romanian M44 before:

Same gun with an Advanced Technologies synthetic stock, S&K mount, and a Leupold 2.5x28mm LER scope. No permanent changes to the gun so I can return it to stock if I ever desire:

Please don't laugh at the rests setup... I was lazy, at an odd angle to my target, and on uneven ground... it worked though.
