You really have no idea what you have found do you??? The carbine is a Romanian M44 that is instructie marked ..Way way cool . And the long rifle is a VERY early , unrefurbed , 1904 Izhevsk ex dragoon. Finding one of those two rifles is remarkable , finding both is unheard of.. Go buy a powerball ticket...

I paid fourty bucks for both of them bahaha

What Zhuk said.

Can you find somewhere else to go with your Golden Horseshoe luck.
Man those are some great finds. Hope your buddy has you arrested for theft.

You my friend, better buy that lottery ticket

hahahah its a shame they would be in better shape but he didnt care for them and they sat in a closet for years with the butts against a cement floor but they could be a LOT worse id rate them at a 7/10 ish

Your friend did you a favor as any refinishing would surely ruin there value. A good cleaning is likely in order for them both but other than that I would leave them as they are. Give the metal a good cleaning and a coat of oil and simply wipe the stocks with a bit of lemon oil..

WOWWOWOWOWOWOWOW Nice friend.

[Junk Yard Dog]

Very good deal for you

[cjsimoh]

$40 is like getting them for free!

[Junk Yard Dog]

Pretty much.

[bunkysdad]

Stop the presses! You did really good. Definitely don't want to put anything stronger thn a good gun cleaning and oiling on them. Any attempt to sand, or refinish will turn them back into 40 dollar rifles. Good score.

Oh, I'm totally serious.. Only had my first Mosin since last Friday, but the Mosinitis has fully set it... That 1904 is pretty much exactly what I said I want as my next Mosin, in my intro thread.. I'd easily quadrouple what you paid just for that one!
