Let's see your Mosin family pics!

What's "assredly" anyhow????

 

[canuck]

Where'd ya get those red,cradle dodads that the guns are resting in?
Looks like a much easier set-up to build than what I've got going (1/2" dowels in a pine 1x6)

Oh, nice collection of Mosins as well, I would say you are definatly an official "Mosin Collector" , whether you want to admit it or not

[desporterizer]

Admitting you have a problem is the first step in dealing with any addiction. Nice collection!

 

[green]

Red Cradle doodads are available at most hardware stores. Work great.

 

[Claven2]

I get mine at the dollar store. You get two in a "duramax" plastic shrinkwrap set, along with several other types all for $1 each The Canadian tire ones are more rugged, but cost like $1.50 each - not worth it.

CU: Nice Finn Capture 39 Izzy. Is it all original matching, or finn matched?

 

[Coyote Ugly]

Claven2: Thanks. 1939 91/30. All original matching. Bolt matches receiver number, same font.

 

[Claven2]

Do the buttplate and floorplate match too? If so, nice snag! CCCP Cartouche and all!

 

[Claven2]

C'mon guys - must more Mosin owners than this who have photos to show???

 

[Sigismund]

i only have one, but then again, im not a mosin collector

 

[Claven2]

i only have one, but then again, im not a mosin collector

Care to share? I'm not a Mosin collector either

 

[Sigismund]

my previosuly shown, mosin put together sniper, shoots great! it can consistently hit a skeet at 100m.

 

[Claven2]

Looks good Is it built on a Finn capture? Looks worn, unlike the recent refurbs.

 

[Sigismund]

yes, its quite worn, bore is by far the darkest ive ever had in my collection, but it still shoots nice. and alot fo the blueing is gone, but then again i think that makes it look better

its become my most frequent shooter, since my 8mm supply started to run dry, i really enjoy shooting it, but im not sure if it would be as much fun to shoot without the PU scope on it.

C'mon guys - must more Mosin owners than this who have photos to show???

I bubba'd mine, so I cant show it

 

[SKScanuck]

I'll post some maybe tomorrow night, if I'm not parkerizing, doing yard work or duck hunting.

I think I have 6 now. Used to have 7, gave one away as a wedding gift..

 

[9mm-Suppository]

the russians have come and gone but most of the finns are still with me

 

[Claven2]

9mmS: LOL - some of those Mosins look very familiar! LOVING the wood on your straight stocked Sako M39.

Do you still have that sweetheart of a little M38 laminate?

That Finn M91/30 would look great in my rack - pm me when you give up on trades and decide to sell it

 

[Claven2]

OK, for thsoe who don;t know, since 9mmSuppository didn;t bother to desribe them, from left to right:

1)193x Tikka M27
2)193x Sako M28/30 (Yummy!)
3)1941 straight stocked Sako M39 (rather nice!)
4)194x Sako M39
5)194x Sako M39

The rifle on the grass isa Tikka M91/30, probably with a 44 dated bbl.
The tree Russians from left to right are:

1) Hardwood 2 piece stock M91/30, likely import marked.
2) Laminate stocked M38 (stock is M44 style which is common), likely import marked.
3) 195x Polish M44, not import marked in all liklihood.
