.....I'll attempt to post pics of my meager Mosin nagant collection ....I've been busy selling off a lot of my odds and ends and militaria (not to mention some artwork bartering... )for at least some....Finns being my favorite...the recent batch of M91's from AIM had me drooling-but alas priced a bit high for my budget(and they wouldnt trade me for a drawn portrait ).....managed so far to get 5 Finns into the family....3 M91's(including an NEW )....a Finned 91/30 and an M39....bringing up the rear a 1943 M38 and a 1953 Hungarian M44...

....pics and details later this weekend-as I have honeydo list which also includes spackling walls and painting preppy daughter's old room(now becoming the Woman Room since daughter moved out-and its bigger than the mini-manroom )

Now you've got me thinking about my Finns.

2 M91's
1 M24
1 M27
1 M28/30
1 91-30
2 M39's
And 1 SVT 40 (OK so it's NOT a mosin)

Dang I didn't think I had that many

....ok....here's a couple quickies....didnt have much time,but this will do for now...
