I dunno... how many is a ****load? I only have 20 or so. I don't consider that to be very many ;)
After all, I'm not a Mosin collector.
This one arrived yesterday.......Too bad it's got a laminated stock....but, it does have a two digit serial number.

I picked up a couple at the Brandon show a week or so ago.
Heres the first: a dewat unfortunately, but then again I already have a live one. I'll be eventually trading this (I hope) towards a rare piece.

I also got a real nice Cooey 82, complete with peep sight and a brand new Woods mfgr Enfield sling.

After seeing the inflation on the military cooeys lately, I couldn't pass on this one, as it already had the upgrades. Come spring I'll drag it into the backyard and plink it a bit.

Just got this little fella into my grubby little hands. 1941 Izhevsk, non-refurb, exactly as-issued.
Only thing non-Russian is a small Finn capture mark. Everything else is original Russian matching, all correct 1941 Izhevsk right down to the smallest screw :) Even the Soviet stock cartouches and original shellac are all intact. The phrase "only dropped once..." comes to mind ;)
I figure this one went straight to the front in the Continuation War where it was quickly captured and spent most of the rest of the conflict in a rack or guarding the bakery. It's a nifty little time capsule bought for a very reasonable price :)
So here she is, my new favorite M91/30...

A 1947 dated Mosin Nagant M44, wearing a fresh coat of shellac......no choice, it was wearing BLO and that's just not right...neither is the Amber shellac, but it's close enough.

Great snag - 1947 is the rarest production year after 1943 :)
By upgrades I meant the rear peepsight and the Cdn sling. I paid $175 for this one, so I can live with that. It has the military stamps.
I just got the cert for it in the mail and sure enough, no serial number. If the sticker is on it, it must be under the wood as I don't see it.
The sterling is likely NZ or some other export as it has the crinkle finish. The Brit military ones were normally non-crinkle, I believe. It is cock and clunk.
