I think they are speicial because they are mine first off. Now I thought I might had some thing on the two ex-Dragoons I have a Izhevsk & Tula 1927r "Hex" and the serial numbers are so close for being made in two diffrent places. At least I think they are diffrent I call them cousins. I also have two Izhevsk "rounds" 1942 & 1943. I also have a Polish Mosin a M-44. Someone toyed with the bayonet and it does not come off as the others. just folds to the side.
If you need better pictures I can PM them or if I am allowed I'll post them in this thread. Ok...They have lots of stamps and such on the wood I have over 100 pictures so if you need more I have on hand. They all have matching numbers, with matching numbers on the bayonets also, no line mark outs. The 1942 Izhevsk Mosin has been "counter bored". What does that mean rifle cannot be fired?
Question, Are finding two ex-Drgoons or any other so close in the numbers, of two diffrent factorys?
Question, If I would like a 1900 or before Mosin a Russian one with the birds on it. Are they around? Price?
Question, Why does everyone want to give me $200 for my Polish,Are they bad news? Not a good rifle? I thought they were ok?
Question, Has anyone shot at a gun shop. I told them I had a Mosin cabine, they said I could shoot it. After two rounds they told me to leave. No one complained. Actually the person next to me said I hit center twice. But it was only twenty-five yards.
Ouestion, Why are the gun stores always trying to "push" those plastic stocks on the high pressure sell. I hate that, then when you don't buy it they won't answer ...
Ok, I am jumping into the deep water now..Judi and her Mosins.
