Got it two days ago when I was at Fleet Farm as an early birthday present.
They had a Mosin on display, a 1942 Tula non-counterbored which I wanted to get but I knew from before that they don't sell the display models until they're all out.
Anyway, I wanted to look through most of their Mosins but the limit is two.
The first was an Izzy dated 1943, I have one and it was nothing special.
No SA stamp, wasn't German captured at a point just a regular Izzy.
Second and last out of the box looked plain at first, stock looked like the first, kind of light.
Then I saw the hex receiver and got all giddy.
Took a look at it, another Ex-Dragoon but this one dated 1927, same year as my Nagant Revolver, so I bought it.
While filling out the paper work I mentioned that the Mosin in the display case is another one I'm interested in getting.
He replied, "Oh I could have sold you that one, I don't care. I just take them out of the box and put them in the case."
...
I got nervous, I'm pressing my luck that it will still be there.
As soon as I'm back from visiting my father I'm flooring it back to that Fleet Farm and hope to God everyone is still buying tacticool non-Slavshit and hope it's still there.
Christ, $100 for a non-counterbored Tula?
That's a good deal with all things considered.
Without further adieu; Pictars.
...
anyone else having issues with upload speed on Photobucket?
Got it.
I thought that was a stock repair but apparently they spliced the piece on to use a single blank or some such thing.

Ok, better photos now.
Olga 1939 Tula
You can faintly make it out here but that's a 39 at the end, before it is illegible, just guessing that the number or date rather, is 1939.
Inga 1935 Izhevsk
I know Inga isn't Russian. Whatever.
Anyway, when I got back to the store the '42 Tula that I was hoping was still there was gone.
The guy said he sold 18 Mosins between then and... then.
When I took them out to take the pictures, which wasn't very long, they started seeping cosmoline. So that's something I'll probably have to contend to or just bring a rag with me when I go to the range.
Which I might not do with Olga.
Olga is, a special case. She's almost all matching except for the cleaning rod and rear sight slide.
The collection is growing, and am hoping to fill in all of the gaps.

Fresnel Orkronos Crash Maniac Orkronos WOW thats a nice table, good fence too. I thought the rock lining was a nice touch. yes, gives it a bit more of the back woods feel. What's that green s**t? People been littering all over the dirt?
Yeah, I dug up those friggin rocks myself.
Can't remember who put the split rail fence in, probably my dad.
That green s**t is what we in Minnesota like to call Grass.
You may be familiar with it in a way, over by you that stuff is brown and dead.
Driveway is made up of blue gravel and .22 brass. |
