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,
I am also a push over too. 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.
( he lives down the road), besides he does not collect Mosins so no sense wrecking that home. Here is the before, when the guy who could not drive a fork-lift hit it. Then thanks for the secrect fourmla. Second picture the results.
Before....
After.....
I also lifed my buying ban. Dam you guys, you all knew that 43 Hex Tula in the WTS section
, them Tula M-44, and $89 specials. I must have been day dreaming at work. Well I was, I was thinking about how I was going to proceed in the Mosin hobby. Well what to you think of my plan. Give the "mummy" the boot and go for the plan on matching factorys and years. This will also give me a chance to shop and have a sense of direction. So, experts do I have a plan ? I will have a few shooters and then my glass cabinet will be my Moins. (sic) I just bought another one, that makes three and another new safe last month. I hope everybody had a wonderful Thankgiving.
They had plenty of leftover 
. I have to work Christmas. I don't mind, gives my staff time off with the family, besides the pups look forward to pizza when I come home. Able to catch up on my sleep, fall asleep one time 
and they hound you forever. 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"
and toss him the Mosin. Otherwise I think I am wasting my time. Also thinking of...ready...real early retirement things are looking good for next year. Shann, is getting a Mosin, despite the fact the "Mosin guy" on her hubby's rifle site. Suggest, "that it is a waste of money for a women to have a Mosin." ..."she will only wind up destorying it"...I swear people out there. Anyhow what do you think Good Mosin Plan "A" ? Judi and her Mosin's 
of what JYD has hiding. Miller Tyme who post "latest", as often as I order pizza.
