Re: Crate of Rifles
I have heard that the size varies a little but mine at the corners not counting the wood handle on the ends is 53" L x 24 "w x 14" H and weighed 327 Lbs. and it was every bit of the 327tiberium51 wrote:what are the dimensions on the crate that they come in?
And the smell is not bad just different and you get to look forward to opening that lid, not to mention all that fondling material.

Re: Crate of Rifles
They get heavier once you start adding stuff to the crate like site tools, extra bolts, ammo, strippers, and such.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Re: Crate of Rifles
you got two MO's one a triple date one a double all are sweet and that would be so cool and fun to open up your very own crate and start fondling each one to find out what they all were
Re: Crate of Rifles
Hi,
What exactly is the significance of the double/triple dated rifles? Were they refurbished in those years? Re-issued in those years? A bit confused. Thanks

Re: Crate of Rifles
You and all the rest of us, nobody knows the exact significance of the double dates, or triple ones, or anything about the entire MO marking deal. We can dazzle you with guesswork and outright bullshit, but that's about it, the Russians have not said anything about the marking and are unlikely too. It's just another of the more rare markings that are found on the Mosins, if they were refurbed at the time the marking was added we do not know. Until documentation is produced all we can do is guess, it was the era of Stalin, you just know there is some grim meaning behind the markings.Bill-ay wrote:Hi,

Re: Crate of Rifles
The bull that is widespread is the years show when they might have been refurbed in the past and reissued to new units possibly. People are again paying extra money for what we have no idea the meaning of! Why do my thoughts keep drifting to Barnum? Buy away and be sure to markedly pay a little more each time as it makes my unrefurbed rifles worth more. I like this crate business when others are buying and if you need more room I have a bit I can clear in the garage but I can't guarantee I won't use the crate in the fireplace this Winter though! To each their own I guess, now what was that Barnum saying again? Bill

I'd put some weatherstripping in that crate, put a dehumidifier in it, a glass top and use it for a coffee table in the man cave!

Someplace on the board is a photo of a crate done up like that, but without the dehumidifier.Tackett wrote:I'd put some weatherstripping in that crate, put a dehumidifier in it, a glass top and use it for a coffee table in the man cave!
