I don't have a finn, but the title says"mosin"so I'll post this one. In my collection this is the nicest and rarest I have. 1942 Izhevsk in a blonde stock with a trigger thats at about five pounds and brass shims in the stock. Someone really took their time and put love into this rifle

OK. Rongo; put up. I wanna see if any of my former ones are in your top 3 or so.

Mine is an ex-dragoon hex receiver. But I guess that's nothing too special. And, it has a force match floor plate.

All, again, ALL the numbers on a refurbished Soviet Mosin are force matched except the barrel number. This is normal, it is the case with every one of them, it does not in any way detract from the rifle, and if it's a lineout with new number next to it there is an increased cool factor.

Guess my most rare would be a Finn 1897 Sestoryetsk
Honorable mention to my 1924 Izhevsk 91/59 and my 1902 Izhevsk 91/38
Most unusual has to be my 1931/45/50 Tula MO ex Dragoon in the Red

It is really hard though...

Or... sort of uncommon to me... a Finn 1927 Izhevsk ... that I really like. Thank goodness we don't have a thread for our most favorite rifles. I really, really like them all

There's no 'ex' in that photo, you have a Finned dragoon. It still has the dragoon rear sight. Nice.

I don't really have any that I'd consider rare and you did say "rare", not "pretty"

First is my newly acquired MO marked 1925 Izhevsk ex-dragoon. Yes, she's beat up and Ivan apparently either bled to death over her or left her in a swamp...

Second would be my /25\ stamped 1937 Tula. (My #2 & #3 could go either way)

Thirdly would be my also newly acquired MO marked 1943 Izhevsk.

Same barrel bands too. But, technically a Russian Dragoon with a new front end and some Finn stampings. To me "ex", to you "Finned". Either way I think it's cool. Ex Russian Finned Dragoon???

It's still a Mosin

Thats one I missed out on that I'm still kicking myself for. NICE!

mogunner · Post by **mogunner** » Fri Jul 19, 2013 7:23 pm

All I have that isn't run-of-the mill is a double dated 1934/49 MO Izhevsk 91/30

1941 Tula, I think that's my only rare one, I have an M91, but don't know much about it.

junkmanted · Post by **junkmanted** » Sun Jul 21, 2013 4:46 am

Mine would be ,, not in this order
Hex Tula ex sniper , Finned Dragoon and a DDR m44 (cant find a pic)

Post by **bunkysdad** » Sun Jul 21, 2013 6:04 am

It sure is. Heck, even pictures of them are rare.

Siam · Post by **Siam** » Sun Jul 21, 2013 9:28 am

I guess my #1 would be my 1943 81/59. #2 is 1942 M39 VKT, and #3 is my pair of 1926 Tula and Izhevsk Ex Dragoons. Not the rarest by any means.
