I've been fondling it since I got home

[Richard]

In that recent terror attack in Pakastain (the one where the terrorists took over the hotel) in some of the news footage I swear I saw some of the responding troops/police? (not sure what uniforms are what over there) anyway some of them were still using Lee-Enfields!

I sort of got a kick out of see'ing that.

Thanks son!

OK My son had to add the picutres for me, sorry it took so long.

I see the Mosin is still "aroused" from the fondling...the bayo is fully exteneded!

Hard to beat these things for inexpensive, great shooting milsurps.

Yes, many of the troops you saw were indeed carrying Lee-Enfields. I would love to know if they were .303s or Ishy's in 7.62.

At the risk of being ostracied for my ignorance, could someone school me on whats so great about Mosins? I always thought they were just inexpensive milsurp rifles.

1. Its cheap
2. Full of history. The greatest sniper ever used a Finn Mosin with open sites. Simo Hyh
3. Ammo is still fairly cheap and attainable
4. Spam can top can be used as a cool liscence plate
5. A large variety of models
6. M44 carbine
Did I miss anything else?

Just wait till you get bit with the Mauser addiction. I love my Mausers with a passion, Mosins came to late for me. Nice looking gun though.

 

[Fishersjohn48]

Welllllllllll. Have a German Mauser 98 non import that my father brought back at the end of WWII. He used it for deer hunting in Michigan, Has been "sporterized"

 

[simpleman44]

Nice mosin.

 

[Ness2k]

Anyone in NWI (or hell, near NWI) know a place that has these in stock? I want one sooo bad

 

[D.T.O.M.]

Can not help you out in that area but if you must have one take a road trip to Bradis on hwy. 67 not too far off of the interstate 465 phone # for them is 317-856-8880 Its worth the drive they have a good inventory of new and used guns good people to deal with Good luck in your mission!

 

[RickBinFW]

You are lucky! I wish I had a new Mosin.

Very nice, looks like the same condition of my 91/30. I love the old milsurp guns too. I've got 2 mosins, a 91/30, and a m44 that's been sporterized, I use it for coyotes lol. And then a beautiful K98 that I pretty much stole for $150. I also have a Golden state arms sporter mauser in 30-06 that's in beautiful condition. Good buy it looks very nice!
