My first not my last

[Captthundarr]

Finnaly getting around to posting some pics of my first Mosin. Picked it up at my local gunshop, every once in a while they get about a dozen mosin's in then they disappear in a couple of days. We have a large contengent of Marines (Camp Lejuene, MCB) here so they grab them up.

[Sgt. Rob]

Good Job Brad, I was trying, but can't get the right link figured out for Captthundarr.

Semper Fi, Rob

[desdem12]

Looks pretty good. How about a foto of the marks on the barrel shank too.

[Captthundarr]

Thanks folks I'm copying the photo bucket IMG thing to post as instructed. here are the barrel marks. this thing has mark al over the stock like freckles. I have sorted out most the rest I would assume to be insectors marks.

I've put 60 rounds through it to date. This is my first long gun ove .22 cal. love this thing and would like more. My range has an asortment of 91/30's, and carbines I just haven't gone through them yet to see what they are. This range also goes out to 500yrds and the 7.62x54r's make a distinctive sound on 1/2" steel at 500 yrds.

Congrats on your first Mosin! Nice red color to that one and what a lot of stock markings. I am around the corner from you at Bragg and our Mosins do not move near as fast. The last time I went down to Wilmington it seemed every shop had some so might be worth checking out if you find the time to drive down there.

There are more markings yet to come! this thing is covered. The upperfore grip is so red it is almost black. No refinish on this one. I think that only one shop in town gets any in quantity and they are usually pretty nice. The range/shop me and the wife shoot at is in Newport/Havelock area. He just took in a collection (14ea. 91/30 and carbines)in on trade from a Marine that was moving and didn't want to move then. some rough some nice.

Very nice, welcome the the RMNF the best site on the internet. Judi and her Mosin's

[Captthundarr]

Some more stock marks ect.

Congrats on your first milsurp rifle.

[Captthundarr]

I kid you not I love this thing. Coolest in my stash.

[Lotema]

Congratulations on a great looking rifle! Time to start looking for the next one. Its an incurable disease, let me tell you... I'm sitting waiting for a face to face sell right now for number 15!

Yep, quit now while you're ahead Capt. Thundarr or you will soon be meeting strange men in dark parking lots at night! Best of luck Lotema, I hope it turns out to be the rifle we both think it is.

[Lotema]

My wife is convinced that I'm gonna get mugged or worse. If you guys don't hear from me again, know I will be collecting pristine non bubba rifles in the great beyond!

[Captthundarr]

And more markings on the stock. The numbers match on this one except for the mag floor plate, it has a strike through.

More to come. Some of these I have identified with help from this site. I would welcome whatever the "experts" have to offer.
