The green web sling is a Polish M44 sling, the rest are Finnish, not sure of the models.

The only way to keep it as close to the original finish as possible is to leave it alone, if you want to refinish it, sell it to somebody that doesn't. Why turn a unique rifle into something...

The reason the Izhevsk M38 went for what it did was due to the first pattern stock, and the fact that it is as original as one could hope, bar the non-matching bolt. Examples such as this are listed...

Very nice looking Finn-capture. I don't mean to disappoint you, though the likelihood of this being a genuine Finn-captured PU is very slim. There are no marks on the barrel that usually deem a Tula...

Hey everybody, here's a compilation of my Mosin collection. Haven't posted anything in a while so this is an excuse :D

Yes, of course, perhaps it ended up somewhere else after the first war and was sent back later on? Maybe the note wasn't written by an American, but a European that donated the rifle? It's hard to...

Apparently it wasn't an issue, the Soviet snipers were the most successful of the entire war, high mount or not.

Hi Promo, that's a beautiful rifle, there are a fair few spelling errors in the writing on the scrap of paper, suggesting it was written by a non-native speaker of Russian, (which would make sense...

Hi folks, I'm an Australian collector and shooter of WW1 + WW2 firearms, fairly new to the sport, I purchased these rifles a few months apart last year, thought I might as well show them off a bit...
