1942 ex PEM!

[suprapyro]

Hello guys.
i recently just snagged a mosin EX PEM! according to a few of the guys on her these are very rare with only 1 or 2 being known between canada and the states. when i got it i originally had plans to restore it however now i dont even know what im going to do with it. ive been cleaning the bore andf pulling more and more storage gunk out of it. she shoots and honestly i want to take her to the range with a can of silver tip to see how well she shoots.

there's the link to Imgur for the pics the previous owner took. only thing that has changed is an original sling so untill i get the bore nice and clean i wont bother adding to its pics. what do you guys think?

Low production and rare. Vic Thomas from gunboards has an article where he states only one 1942 is known to exist to all US collections.

Any more on this?

Vic's article is outdated, several more have surfaced in the last few years.

It seems so much Mosin-Nagant information that is published is outdated. Another member here has just mentioned he also has a 1942.
