So i have been in the Mosin Nagant game for about a year give or take. I got my first shortly before i EASd (got out) from the Marine Corps. I found this site and got hooked mostly because of Buckeyesgt. Honestly though everyone here was very good with me when i showed up and didnt know anything about a Mosin Nagant except the name. My first was a 1939 Izhevsk in a laminated stock. She is still one of my favorites but i have gotten her some friends over this past year.

This post is to show off the family.

Im very pleased with the rifles I have been able to acquire this year. I know that quality is better than quantity but i don't think I'm lacking much in the way of quality so far. Thank you all very much for all of the help and for teaching me all the things i didn't know. I hope yall enjoy my family. Now lets see how next year will be!

p.s. I might need a bigger safe soon.

You've definitely got the sickness! Just wait until the Finnitis really kicks in! I'm seeing an M39 in your near future. :thumbsup:

Yep, won't be long until he finds out that barrels down and up give more room in there. :lol:

You've been hard at work! :thumbsup: Nice M24!

As JYD has said, the time to act is now. I agree that availability will go down and cost will go up across-the-board for milsurps of all types.

I'd say a very good year. 15 Mosins in 12 months, you averaged more than 1 a month. Nice safe you got there also. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Thanks, The safe was courtesy of the severance from the Corps. Sadly its getting a tad small. I dont know how im going to do up and down on the rifles though i can barely get them in there up ;)

Ha. I had to do the same thing with my top shelf.
Great collection. Won't be long before the ammo comes out, and more rifles go in. I'm thinking a cheap stock-on cabinet for the ammo for me. But the next safe will have to be purchased sooner or later. You know that as well as me.
:bravo: :bravo:

Yea the ammo is really in the way. As are those knives I have in the back on the right side. To many long guns Ok that's a lie. Ill probably pick up a decent cabinet or a small safe to put my ammo in soon. Then again that means id have to save up for a safe.... jeez that's gonna be hard. :b sad:
