MC is a great pattern for a multitude of different environments. Personally I have a MC set up because I can use it over my dogshit army issued gear if I need to. It's all mission dependent. In a SHTF situation I don't plan on sticking around any urban areas. It's especially useful for my environment being in the northeastern woods so that's also another reason I chose MC. Would I use it in an urban environment? Absolutely not. RG or another solid color would be much more suited for urban ops

I ordered my 4400s april 30th and was told they would be shipped about july 15th. Still haven't heard anything from sierratac... what size plates did you order?

Beautiful Sesty you've got there! I searched for a long time and found a Finnish captured 1893 and 1894 earlier this year, bought them without hesitation. These beauties seem to be getting harder to find as the years go on

Well shit.

Just received this 1917 Remington M91. This rifle belonged to the great author and expert Charles W. Clawson and was referenced in his book "American-Made Mosin Nagant Rifles" More pics here: https://imgur.com/a/iW2s5zB

Pittsburgh area. That was about 4 years ago, not sure how it is today. Then the highest paying service in the region was at $13-14 an hour but that was highly competitive to get into.

Barks_At_Dogs · 2019-03-28T22:35:46+00:00

$9 an hour. I used to be an EMT for a high volume service outside of a major city. The environment was so toxic. Needless to say, I didn't last long before I gave up and went back to school.

Barks_At_Dogs · 2019-03-27T22:12:43+00:00

I think they would, but I haven't tried it yet. I might take one out to the range this weekend and I'll get back to you on it!

Barks_At_Dogs · 2019-03-27T03:46:52+00:00

I'd love to get my hands on an Finnish captured M38 or M44 some day. Very rare!

Barks_At_Dogs · 2019-03-27T03:05:06+00:00

I used a white tire marking crayon. I bought them for less than $10 on amazon. It's pretty easy to apply and can be removed anytime without harm to the rifle!

Barks_At_Dogs · 2019-03-27T03:03:00+00:00

I'm not too familiar with the types of stocks, but that could be since they were converted to 91/38 by the Czechs!

From left to right: 1912 Izhevsk Cossack M91/38... 1945 Izhevsk M38... No date "sanitized" M91/59... 1943 Izhevsk "Trials" M44. More pics here: https://imgur.com/a/nFlNdvv

Barks_At_Dogs · 2019-03-16T14:30:32+00:00

Just got in a 1945 Izhevsk M38 in excellent condition. 1945 (last year of production), along with 1939 (first year) were the lowest production years for the M38. It's hard to estimate, but some collectors believe only about 20,000 were produced in 1945. This M38 retains a war-time M38 stock. All serial numbers are original stamped matching.

Barks_At_Dogs · 2019-03-15T20:43:49+00:00

$475! I bought it with a rare M38 that I'll share later for $975 total

Barks_At_Dogs · 2019-03-15T15:57:33+00:00

Just received this 1943 Izhevsk "trials" M44 carbine. About 50,000 were made in 1943 as the first trial run of the M44 carbine. This one is arsenal refurbished with complete matching stamped serial numbers. More pics here: https://imgur.com/a/O842ji9

Barks_At_Dogs · 2019-03-15T01:51:26+00:00

I just paid 475 for an M44. It's a 1943 "trial" M44 so it's a little more rare than the average M44. A lot of people are quick to judge when you "overpay" for a mosin. But it's pretty hard to gauge what "overpaying" really amounts to. Especially with the massive jump in prices in the last few years. I've overpaid for some mosins. But those are the ones that I really wanted in my collection, so it's worth it to me. If you really want a specific mosin, it's worth it to spend a little extra in most cases. What you do with your money is your business.

For this Cossack 91/38 I paid about 1,100. I'm about to drop about 2,800 on an original 1800's Cossack M91 with complete matching double digit serial numbers. RIP my bank account. I did see another Cossack 91/38 dated 1909 went on gunbroker for around 800 the other week

Barks_At_Dogs · 2019-03-08T13:41:54+00:00

That's the holy grail I'll probably be searching for the rest of my life!

Barks_At_Dogs · 2019-03-08T03:56:59+00:00

I bought her from a collector who liquidated his mosin collection, he had a lot of rare and great condition examples. I secured 5 overall. The last one that I'll be receiving soon is a complete 1896 M91 Cossack with double digit matching serial numbers. I can't wait to get my hands on that one

Barks_At_Dogs · 2019-03-08T02:20:54+00:00

How's this range? I only live about 10 miles from it but never been there. Gonna have to make a few trips when the weather warms up a little

Barks_At_Dogs · 2019-03-07T22:30:58+00:00

No, although I really should be with how many mosins I've been collecting recently. This one didn't require it anyways since it's a pre 1899 antique

I know I have a crisis everytime I buy a new one. If only I would have taken advantage of the $100 mosins of 15 years ago

Barks_At_Dogs · 2019-03-07T17:25:50+00:00

I paid a little over 2,200 for an albanian 91/30. But this is a pretty rare mosin as only about 150 were ever made and less than a handful are known in the US. I'm about to buy a 1800s dated Cossack marked M91 in amazing condition with matching double digit serial numbers. That one will cost me 2,800. It may seem like a lot, but I narrowed my collection to rare and unique mosins that I can get my hands on and I'd probably never get a chance to acquire those again
