What is your favourite Mosin?

[davemccarthy707]

Simple poll. Your favourite model of Mosin and why. Mine is the M27. It is the best balanced with the nicest sights. Followed by the 91/30.

Polish made M44. I have a minty all matching Radom manufactured M44 and it has beautifull fit and finishn the action is butter smooth, so much so that I've found it difficult to spend money on a new manufactured gun (in an afordable price range)......I would love to examine a CZ made sniper first had however.

1920's 91/30

In that order.

This red bastard

Why? I like my M38's, but this one is better built.

 

[skoal]

The one in my safe is my favorite, 1 in the safe is worth 2 in the store.

 

[relic38]

Only have one, it is my favorite.
1928 shoots straight, good wood. At 86 years old, in amazing shape.

Fin m39. I dont have one yet but i love them. My favorite i own is my 1927 finnish m91. 1927 heavy tikka barrel on a 1894 receiver its a great shooter.

About as much fun to pack as a fencepost, that's the short summary of the M-39. Almost wonder if they were designed for Static positions.
Cool gun but a big beast

[SA85M1]

[Old Ranger]

To look at Mint Polish 44

Yep you are right, they are nice. Might fit you better than me.
But then again...I'm keeping it


I sold the D & T one; I wonder what became of it once in a while...

Another vote for the M27!

It has 'wings' on the bolt and a cool soldiers' nickname: "Pystykorva" (Spitz). Plus collectors use words like 'popsicle stick' to describe the improvement in the rifle's nose cap. That kinda endears it to me.

But I also really like my M39 but not because its a M39 but because it has (battle?) 'scars'.

Favorite? Of my own stuff, this one, for obvious reasons:

Of all models, probably the M39, mostly for the refinements the Finns incorporated.

I like my 91/30 sniper, it has a great trigger, and is fun to shoot. But I'd like an M38 or 44 to keep it company.

Very nice KJ! I don't think I've ever seen one on CGN before.

I've posted pics of it before. There are always new people to the site, so I like to put it up once in a while. So far, it is the only one to surface on here from a Canadian owner. There are at least two that I am aware of in the US. One of them recently changed hands.
