My Soviet collection updated 20/12/2016 on page 5
Hi all,
I felt I would share with you all the collection I have been working on, on and off for about 4 years or so (started with my first rifle which is the SKS pictured) and I have gotten it to this point here. Personally I likely won't be adding to my collection for a while just due to availability and funds so I felt is was as good a time as ever to share it.
First without bayonets
And with the proper model of bayonets
The models are lined up in order of year adapted not manufacturing date.
In order we have a Soviet M91 Infantry Rifle which was likely captured by the Finnish (though there is no SA mark or the usual sling swivels, only indications are the mix and matched parts and the rear sight) made in 1926 by Tula on a 1898 receiver which was also made by Tula, a Ex-dragoon M91/30 made in 1928 by Izhevsk on a 1921 Tula receiver, a M91/30 made in 1939 by Izhevsk (also my first bolt action), a M38 made in 1943 by Izhevsk, a TT-33 made in 1945 by Izhevsk, a SVT-40 made in 1941 by Tula, a M44 made in 1944 by Izhevsk, and a SKS made in late 1950 by Tula (first rifle I ever owned).
My eventual goal is to add a early M91/30 with the front blade sight, a M91 Dragoon, and a M1895 Nagant Revolver all Soviet produced. Due to the availablility of these items it will likely be a while before I complete this collection. I likely am for my next purchase going to get a Izhevsk manufactured SKS as my current one wasn't the best example when I got it and I had to learn the hard way how corrosive ammo worked (a life lesson there).
If you want share your collections as well go ahead as I love seeing and learning about these beautiful rifles (and the reason these aren't in the 'Red Rifle' section is because these were all military manufactured and issued as such are milsurps, if they weren't then they are just commercial rifles)
