The Mosins have so many types and variations that they always end up multiplying :lol:

A C&R FFL helps the process move along much quicker :)

It sure has with me :lol:. The current gun madness has forced me to step back a bit, but once it cools down and prices return to a reasonable state, I will be looking again :biggrin:

What they say here is true. After a few posts I'm on my way back to a show to buy another one. Don't listen to these guys it will cost you. :chuckles: :chuckles: :chuckles: :chuckles:

Whether we advise him well or not, the Mosinitis will take hold and become an obsession anyway :big shock:

Ha,ha you guys, just hold on I haven't even shot this one yet. :D

But having said that I found out a guy here at work has one and he hasn't shot it, only bought as a prop for a movie he was going to make. I mentioned that I might be interested in buying it from him down the road if he's interested. :roll: Just planting the seed and don't want to seem too interested. :biggrin:

An update: After a long winter here I finally got a chance today to shoot this Mosin for the first time today. WOW!! Talk about a fun gun to shoot, everyone else that I let shoot it agreed also. Told them if they wanted one they better get one quick before it's too late. :D

So far I've resisted buying another one, most have been too expensive at gun shows, i did find some M44's for $140 and now wishing I had bought one. :roll:

I figured you would several more and be getting low on furniture. It's a good thing you didn't shoot it sooner.
