Ok, I am back, had to go to work for a few days, but I thought about how and which way I want to go on my Mosins. First, I finally realized that I cannot collect them all. I have looked at all of your collections. I have as always taken advice from you guys.
So I have decided to collect factorys and pair them in years with close as I can in serial numbers on the barells. As the two 1927 ex-dragoons I have. I will collect the "war years" 1940-1945. Matching a Tula and Izhevsk factorys years. I also am going for M-91's of all six factorys. There are so many Finns. I want them all. But those will be "whim buys". I started on the Finn's and am going find the person that said in a post for me to; look at a few Finn's

I also will match the Mosin's odd ones I have now ie; 1925 Izhevsk, 1939 Tula. Along with the 1942 & 1943 Izhevsk one will be a shooteer, are to be paired with the opposing factorys. I think this will focus me more on what I want then buying a million things, that I like. Yes,

So, with that being said, now I have more to think about. I have the "mummy". I decided to kick him out of the pack. He has not said nothing as the Polish and Finn will keep him under wraps. I will sell this "mummy" since I will not be collecting that far. Also it has been driving me crazy to unwrap it. Which I will only do sooner or later. Then I'll have four mosins to clean. I'll smell like cosmoline foe a week.

I feel if any of you are collecting. That it would only be right to offer it up and keep it as close to import as possible. I'll put it here for sale first, before tossing it on auction site. If you feel that I am right or wrong post it or PM me. Also, I been told that some of that ammo is collector stuff. If you want or need for your collection. Tell me I'll be happy to help you out. Otherwise, I will only get around to shooting it.
Now I finally got the crate moved. Seen a sheriff I knowen for years. He was working and passing by. I was talking to him and invited him in for a quick cup coffee. I requested that he help me move ...ahem, a small crate. Well we moved it and he was called away, by his wife.

I think that next year I'll carry my Polish M-44 around. This way if a guy comes up and ask me on a date, I'll tell him to "strip"
