Australian Mosin collection.

Post by TheSovietSamurai »

Hey everybody, recently took some HD pics of a few of my most interesting Mosins and posted up on another forum, thought you guys might appreciate a look too :) . I also have a few refurbs in the safe, as well as four more 'unique' non-refurbished examples on the way. Pictured is the result of just over a year (and over $2000 worth) of collecting in the land down-under.

I know we have our Enfields just as you guys have your Springfields, but nothing else speaks to me like a Mosin does.
Thanks for reading!

Great collection :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: As for your Enfields...well, we kind of have them also :lol: Your government sold huge numbers of them to importers here back in the late 1980's

Very nice. I particularly like your two M91's. The M38 will go great with them, no doubt.

Our laws are bad, but not 'that' bad :P
Bolt-actions are actually fairly easy to acquire and store. Handguns are far tighter but still obtainable, everything else, such as semi-autos, is only available to dealers and 'government approved' groups and individuals.
