"Collectors Forum" - All Mosin Nagant are discussed here. Also the Russian and "Finnish capture" SVT38 and SVT40. This is an excellent place for new Mosin owners to ask questions. We have some of the best experts here looking forward to your questions. If you post a Mosin sniper rifle here, we may or may not move it to the sniper forum.
Preservation forum, please no altered military surplus rifles or discussions on altering in this forum. No sportsters. Please read the rules at the top of each forum
I'm just joking here, not that I'd ever expect to take a rifle to the office. It would just be nice to be able to tear it down during lunch, oil it up, mess around with it.
Ok, got that off my chest.

I've got an interview for the night shift at my lgs today. So bringing the guns to work will actually be encouraged. Ugh, I can feel my mosinitis flaring up already.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

I'm normally carrying a pistol with me at my work. Whenever I can legally of course.

Let me make a short, open, blanket comment. There are no good guns. There are no bad guns. Any gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a descent person is no threat to anyone--- except bad people. -- Charleton Heston
Guns are not good, they are not evil. Save those descriptions for the people holding the firearm. -- Unknown
1943 Izhevsk
1937 Izhevsk
1935/48/50 Tula (hex)
1939 Tula (laminate stock)
And many other firearms

This is the scrap business, cash, valuable metals, douchebags of every description drifting in with metal they probably pried out of their mothers teeth. It would be odd if I didn't have a weapon, it's an odd day if I don't have two weapons, or three......

I have taken parts in to work on and mostly polish. My boss stared hard at my Mosin bolt one day! I.....didn't even acknowledge that, just let him be. It was all I brought. It cleaned up well in my ultrasonic cleaner. I also polished the feed ramp on my Ruger SR9. Didn't let anyone see that barrel.

As long as its disassembled and all the parts aren't there at the same time we can use the parts cleaners etc at the shop where I work. Parking lot is another matter. Guys show off their new acquisitions all the time.
