BUT Mosins are fun (because it's a gun, and guns are awesome, and yet we somehow seem to forget that), and they're neat pieces of history that you get to play around with for cheap. Also, because they shoot enormous fireballs, and the carbines are designed such that they're more accurate when the bayonet is fixed than when it's folded. So you pretty much HAVE to shoot it with a fixed bayonet and how couldn't that put a smile on your face? |

Show us on the doll where Sergi touched you OP.
I love people like you when I go into a shop. You are the type of person that will price a Finnish M91 at a 91/30 refurb price. If you are extra stupid you will do the same with a Finn M-24.

I have always considered Mosins to be a way for poor people to have a "collection" of "antique" guns.
Granted they are shitty guns, and the people who collect them live in trailers...but at least it makes them feel good. It is annoying when they try to pass off their shitty guns as being special though. They are usually owned by the same folks who have SKSs and think they are decent guns |

Love my War-time production M39 SAKO (has the plug hole in the received for the grease to remove the barrel, pre 1900 receiver). Thing is fun as hell to shoot and is actually decently accurate. Went to the range one day and one of the range officers knew I liked C&Rs and asked if I wanted to buy any Mosins or Enfield. Picked this beauty up for $100, had no clue what it was at the time, later found out I got a sick deal. Not to mention I have 10 other Mosins all different variations. M44 is my favorite for the Shock and Awe factor

Maybe the collector who buys a gun that may well have served during WW2 and killed Germans, feels it is a little more special than the AR15 you just bought at Gander Mountain. Possible?

Mosins are fun (because it's a gun, and guns are awesome, and yet we somehow seem to forget that), and they're neat pieces of history that you get to play around with for cheap. I remember when I got my first Mosin from AIM. It came in a cardboard box that was five fucking feet long, and I ripped it open and my wife yelled at me about getting Cosmoline all over the leather ottoman as I went to take pictures of it. I was excited, because it was a new gun. No other reason. You know how excited you get over a new gun, even if it's a POS. Of course it's silly, but I know you do it. You could have a huge collection of machineguns, but I guarantee you that if someone gave you the opportunity to fuck around with a POS gun that you had never had the occasion to fire before, you'd do it. Because guns are awesome. Would you take a turn behind a Chauchat? Fuck yes, you would. So would I. I know it has a high probability of sucking - don't care. It's a gun, and I want to fire it. There's no such thing as a gun that's too crappy for me to want to own. Plenty I won't pay for, but to keep around? Shit, I'll take whatever. It's a gun, therefore it's awesome. I have guns to protect myself and my family - everything else is just for fun. And Mosins are fun. This post had me wanting to yell out, "Fuck yeah! He gets it!" |

This is my scout Mosin and one of my favorite rifles to shoot. 17" barrel and my own muzzle brake. Everyone that has shot it loved the experience. It shoots 2 moa with Russian surplus.

I would imagine there are many of the older members here that could tell you about the "junk" Mausers that were being sold in the 1950s and 1960s. Who would want a cheap old Mauser? Only good for sporterizing.
Now as the years have passed the Mauser rifle are very collectible, people cuss when they see a nice 98 that was sporterized. Hell, even the old Japanese Arisaka rifles are getting to be a collectable rifle now days. I would say that in 10-15 years when the Mosin supply is long dried up, there will be people cussing all those who Bubba'ed a highly collectable rifle. |

Meh. I have a total of 3 Mosins I bought for 40 and 90 bucks. They're neat for the historical value and if you want to practice smithing, they're an excellent choice. Just don't show off your fuckups.
When I was in school, it was the only rifle I had with me for a semester or two and a buddy asked if I wanted to go deer hunting. I went and got a nice doe with it. She dropped like a sack o' taters but there was a little more meat loss than I was used to. Good utilitarian rifle that'll fuck shit up and they're fun to shoot. To me, any gun is fun really - which was already mentioned a few posts back. |
