Very nice - great photos too. Perfect backdrop!

nice old guns. Look right at home in the snow.

Nice rifles and pics.

What's the scoop on the 1940 K98 stock? Armoury repair in front of the bolt? Was it cut out for a reason at some point?

Nice metal on the mosin and svt.

Im not sure if its a Armory repair. The wood on that repair looks like pine?

Very nice! I love the k98k's.

By "Russian Front", does that include WW1 ?

Nice rifles and pics. I love that SVT wood finish.

Ever thought of hunting up a late war laminate stock for the SWP? You could always sell the earlier stock to cover some of the cost.

 

[agentcq]

That Swp might technically be from the German Home front vs. the Russian Front. Then again, they were still using it against the Russians.

 

[tplumtree]

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition! Seriously nice rifles dgradinaru.

fernleaf you should create a separate thread for your post. Drop dead gorgeous Finn collection but I think you hijacked dgradinaru.

 

[Nabs]

Agreed, watch out that you don't drool on your keyboard .

 

[AdrianM]

wow fernleaf, what a mosin collection!

That sako '42 M39; is that a some sort of a duffle cut on the forestock? Or a repair? Did they do duffle cuts on the other side of the pond? Or need to?

Without checking which gun you're referring to and risking answering in place of those better informed, lots of finn guns were spliced together to utilise shorter pieces of wood and ?also limit the impact/likelyhood of warping?.

Nice rifles and pics. I love that SVT wood finish.

Thanks. I refinished the rifle my self.

I did try to find one of those stocks, but i couldnt so i ended up with 4 Normal mid war stocks.

 

[CanadianAR]

Late war laminate would be a lot more difficult to find. Good looking guns guys.
