Several years ago there was a thread where someone had a full case of Nagant rifles for a coffee table.
I thought that was pretty bad ass. |

....so, forgive my ignorance on the topic, but DO the Mosin rifles actually ship in this type of crate when they leave their arsenal to be exported??
Never seen any of the crates anywhere for sale... |

Very nice OP.
I grabbed one a few years ago. I think mine was an SKS crate. I keep saying I'm going to do the same thing with these inside. Considering the value of SKS these days I should probably leave them in the safe.

Never seen any of the crates anywhere for sale... They used to. My father bought a full crate of 20 for about 130 per rifle shipped in 2012 or so? Bayonets, oil kits, tool kits, everything but slings. They had their own random serial numbers, a mix of mostly round and a couple hex receivers, a range of dates, and 20 consecutive import electropencil numbers. They're in mostly gorgeous arsenal refurb condition. Lightly cosmolined. |

I wanted a crate of those when they were dirt cheap, but I worried it might encourage a break in. After all any visitors would see it and no telling who they might tell. They are definitely cool though.

OP - that is entirely awesome. I kept meaning to buy a Mosin crate, but of course missed the boat.
Quote HistoryQuoted: ....so, forgive my ignorance on the topic, but DO the Mosin rifles actually ship in this type of crate when they leave their arsenal to be exported?? Never seen any of the crates anywhere for sale... Yes. Obviously they didn't have glass tops, but these sorts of crates were common with all of the various surplus Soviet stuff. I've seen SKS rifles in crates like this as well, and there were smaller ones for Nagant revolvers. Back in the days of cheap Soviet surplus virtually every gun show had a table or two where you could just pick a rifle out of a crate. |

Appreciate all the replies to my earlier Q re. the shipping crates!
Never seen them in the UK, but that's due to the different market here. I was told a story some 30+ years ago of a UK dealer who was one of the first to start selling the Mosins in the UK in any large numbers. The exporter was shipping them IN the crates, wrapped in old cloth....the old cloth was WW2 era material that went into making the sniper suits!! Seems that this dealer made a SHIT TON more money from selling the cloth than he did from selling the rifles. Happy times.... Anyone ever re-purposed any of the more modern 7.62x54 ammo boxes? Got about ten of them and keen to make them into something
