"Collectors Forum" - All Mosin Nagant are discussed here. Also the Russian and "Finnish capture" SVT38 and SVT40. This is an excellent place for new Mosin owners to ask questions. We have some of the best experts here looking forward to your questions. If you post a Mosin sniper rifle here, we may or may not move it to the sniper forum.

I hate to say it, but if that is since Jan, I think you may be terminal!
The only chance you have is to pull each one down one at a time and photograph it and post it here in the forums. You might get "some" relief! (I know we will!)
She is still here. Lesson learned though, don't come home with 4 at one time. She is actually a pretty good sport about it and thinks they are cool.
I will get some better pics than what I have right now on the M91. But as a teaser it's a 1940 Tikka built on a 1900 Tula, AZF and Czech S*4, and ПК marks.

If you just keep them stacked in the corner you can slip one in the pile, every now and then, without her noticing. One day she will forget the count, then you can display them nicely. (just trying to help )
Since my wife thinks they all look alike I just bring one in and lean it against the wall. She just thinks it's one of my regulars. She recently asked me "is that a new rifle"? I told her "what? That old thing? Why I'd hate to tell you how long I've had that old relic" Then I tell her now how bout a kiss, and if she kisses me I know I'm gonna be alright! YOW
Tell me about it, I was a US milsurp collector for the most part, and had retired from collecting when this forum started showing me pics of all the new imports post 2000, enter a C&R FFL, and then I went f$%#$@& crazy for three years. I was buying them five at a time, they started to pile up everywhere, until I dam near collapsed the floor. Of course I am not married, the only was such insanity can go on uninterrupted by the major expense of divorce forcing the sale of a collection. It all started with "just one" the first Mosin purchased from Aim in 2007 using the C&R was a 1943 Izhevsk M91/30, as typical a refurb as they come ( until six months later when I realized the blurry spot on the receiver was a lightly struck DDR triangle 1 stamp) I figured that would do, but then I saw a 1942, and a 1944, and then a 1941, and after that a 1938 Tula.........I was collecting them year by year, for each arsenal, insanity, ramen diets, selling shit on eBay for more gun money, hitting every show, lurking on Gunbroker into the wee hours of the night. It's a disease, and for me it ain't over yet.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Looks like a good start to a promising collection Buckeye!!

I think she's on to you... Unless you such a good kisser that all thoughts of that gun leaves her head afterwords.
