The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Yea, I know, the same thing happened to me. Has your wife left yet?

Beat the rush and build a bigger rack. You are gonna need it.

Welcome!

It's in the works. Made it so I could add two boards to the outsides of this one and make it into a double.

Welcome Buckeye. That's what we like to see, The Gun of the Month Club, plus a few.

That is as nice collection and nice racks as well. Give us some close-ups and details, we need something to drool on.

It's called Mosinitis.


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!)


Dolk

Had a few more but sold them for better examples.

I figured that would be coming. I will throw them out there slowly.

Well how bout starting with that m91. That's the one I want to see next! As for the wife leaving: I'm betting you are a single man.

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.

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.

One must try anyway

One must always try. Success is rather limited in my experience.

We are gonna see soon enough if my plan still works. I just won a auction for my first m91 Finn!
