which rifles for small mosin nagant collection

[MiG25]

what do you guys think would be the ideal 3 or 4 piece mosin nagant collection? if you must include a very rare one, please add it to your list as a bonus.

i think it would be something like:

finn M39
polish M44 (or romanian or hungarian)
soviet 91/30

 

[hnachaj]

1895 Czar with no communist markings!
A WWII with communist markings!
A post war Polish in mint shape!
I have all three in n.i.b. shape. I will take pictures next week!

M91-A Finn captured westinghouse, covers A)American mosins, and B)Finn Mosins.
M91/30-PU sniper or ex-sniper, to satisfy the Russian and sniper requirement
M44-Hungarian, Polish or East German maybe? Fill the USSR satellite with this one.
and a wildcard. M27, M28, M38, M39?

We demand pictures!

At least one from the 1890s. I always think it is awesome that these rifles are still around and shoot, and only recently retired(m85TKIV(still active?)) from front line service.

I am thinking

91/30
M38
M44

Of course there are so many of each of those that one could want to Collect!

The m38 is a mosin you have to own at least once.

Feels completely different than the m44... much cleaner, lighter, more shootable.

Too bad I don't keep safe queens...

A nice M24 or M27,along with a 1943 folding bayonet M38 would get you off to a good start.

3) M1891, Chatellerault, non-refurb or Finn capture
