New guy here
Hey guys. Happy to be here. I am the only Mosin addict I know, so thought I would find my way to some like minded bretheren. Here is a picture of my milsurp collection thus far, I bought my first firearm in February of this year. This pic doesnt include my modern firearms. ![:grin:](//cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@latest/assets/svg/1f601.svg)

to the forum, nice M1, straight pull M95 and a couple 91/30's looks like one is a laminate stock. Oh and the fire breathing M44, looks like you're off to a hell of a start.

Re: New guy here
Thanks guys! The M1 was a childhood desire that was put on hold when I went through my fast cars phase. I sold one of my cars, bought my first firearm and the rest is history.redspoon wrote:Vendettato the forum, nice M1, straight pull M95 and a couple 91/30's looks like one is a laminate stock.

The Garand is a 43 built Springfield with a 51 rebarrel and it is my unicorn. I adore it.
The three Mosins, from top tp bottom, a 38 Izhevsk round receiver (my first milsurp, sentimental thing), a 32 Tula hex that was rearsenaled into a laminate stock. These laminate stocks are unbelievably pretty. And ths m44 is a post war built 46 m44 that has no import marks and no rearsenal, all original.

Re: New guy here
good choices. look at the VZ-58 or the less expensive but well made VZ-2008. I think Centerfire has them.
Re: New guy here
Thanks for the heads up. Centerfire appears to have the VZ-2008 on thsir site. My other one I have been looking at is the Romanian WASR. I know they have a bad rep, but nobody can seem to pinpoint why besides occasional canted sights and mag wobble. I have leaned more that way because I like the fixed stock.gurn wrote:good choices. look at the VZ-58 or the less expensive but well made VZ-2008. I think Centerfire has them.

Re: New guy here
I have the VZ-2008 and it has been flawless and accurate. I don't have an AK but I let a few guys at the gun club that have AKs shoot my VZ and they all really liked it. Some of them even said they liked it better than the AK. They had me give them info on where to get one. I keep mine ready to go beside my bed just in case.
