My Mosin Mania

[wojownik]

Finally got around to taking a picture of all the Mosin rifles I have left. Amazing how these buggers accumulate over the years.... Just thought I'd share, and feel free to share your own...



Counterclockwise, from the top is ...
- 1943 Izhevsk Sniper 91/30
- 1937 Tula ex-sniper (marked) 91/30
- 1928 Tula 91/30
- four more 91/30s form 1938, 1930, 1941, and 1943
- a 1942 Finn SA "B"

- A Mosin Dragoon, and six Mosin 1891s, ranging in date form 1892 to 1942 (Finn B Barrel), including a NE Westinghouse, Sestroesk, and Peter the Great arsenals.

- Three Finn M39s, plus a .22 Polish trainer

- Five M44s, including two Russian (both 1944), plus Polish, Hungarian and a Chinese Type 53 (with Vietnamese NVA markings).

Nice collection. I only have one.

There's a collection to be proud of. Mine is not quite so large as that but it's getting there.

 

[LJ-MosinFreak-Buck]

I've only got the one. Once I start working on these stocks, I'll probably have one for each stock, lol! Well, maybe one custom rifle per stock, haha, but I do have to keep it balanced and get just as many, if not more, factory rifles.

 

[Cosmoline]

Excellent collection.

You're missing a Czech 91/38 and a number of Finns, though ;-)

You absolutely must have an M28 or M28/30.

 

[MyGreenGuns]

WOW! Nice collection.
I only have two, both from Izhevsk:
1944 M44
1943 M91/30

Shot the M44 yesterday, still got purple marks on my shoulder from it. I need to buy a thicker coat or a recoil pad.

Cosmo - agreed! I yearn for a M27, M28 and M28/30 ... but since getting married and "acquiring" kids, I no longer have funds for acquiring my toys.

Have never seen a Czech 91/38 in these parts.

Another holy grail item would be a Polish marked mosin 91 from the interwar period, as well as an East German marked mosin.

I knew that Mosins got lonely and love company, but honestly, that is one of the most impressive things I've ever seen. So, how much for one of your original M1891's?

 

[nathan]

That be easy ammo logistics too. 7.62 x 54 R is plentiful and always at a good price nowadays.

 

[indyandy]

Very impressive, wojownik. My brother and I owned a nice ex-dragoon that I sadly had to leave behind when I moved, but I just got my first - 1942 91/30. Now I'm just waiting on my giant box of ammo and shoulder pad to get here so I can have some real fun.

 

[MrWesson]

I have filled out my C&R and now thanks to you have put it back in the file without sending..


I honestly haven't sent off for it for this reason though.

 

[KAMAK]

Wow Im jealous of your collection. I love these guns, i only have 3 91/30s and an m44.

 

[fireman 9731]

Here's my collection... A 1927 Tula Dragoon Conversion, a 1941 Izzy M-38, and a 1944 Izzy M-44. I wish I had about a dozen more!

 

[Gunnerboy]

Im at 2, only 98 more to go to finish walling my room

 

[Ari3sgr3gg0]

I as well only have two, neither are one bit rare and Bubba got his grubby hands on the nicer Finn before I got bought it. Really though that's a nice collection and if Mosin prices would drop around here I'd be buying even more. Some people try selling them $175 a piece for the average mosin!
