The Mosin's Have Arrived ! (Pic Heavy)
« on: August 18, 2010, 06:48:18 PM »
This is how everything looked straight out of the box. I'm very pleased! Especially after I came from Cabela's this morning and saw the chewed up tomato stake they had on the rack for $149.00. These rifles are beautiful! Both are Tula manufactured Hex Receiver guns. One is a 1931 date, the other is a 1936. Both actions work very slick! If you're looking for a nice Mosin for the price, Classic Arms is the way to go. As you can see, even the bayonets and accessories are in mint condition.  Bill T.

Ain't they a pair.... ;D Piece of history billt, nice addition to your extensive, over the top, way too many, how many? collection.... ;)

Seems we have joined the Moisin brigade, and by the thumbs up experience I had with deepwaters, and mine when I get to the range, is a good thing.

Nice "package". get some stripper "clips" and enjoy.

Note: you have less cosmoline than I did... 8)

Way to go Bill. You did well. You need a pair of M38's and M44's to go with the 91/30's

The Tula's generally have much better machining than some of the others. Also I've noticed much thicker walled barrels on the Tula's that I've cut the barrels on.

Those are some fine looking rifles Bill. The accessories alone makes them a steal.

Couldn't help myself: A Moisin with a kid and his Dad, against an evil watermelon.

I wish I could have captured the aromatic smell after I opened the boxes. Something about the smell of Cosmoline with the added odor of shellac to suggest just the right amount of Olga's toenails were added to the mix for that beautiful sheen. The whole house smells like a WW II weapons depot!  Bill T.

I love Olga, and her "man hands",....she built a nice rugged rifle. ::)

I have to get a video of my shooter friends that "complain" about my Mauser's kick, and than post a pic of my smiling son after he shot a 10 ring with deepwaters Moisin...all 5 times....

Just like the kid in the vid, "dead watermelon" is the result. ;)

I didn't get the "kit" , but they are readily available next gun show.

+2 billt, Amazing what you can still get, thankfully.... It will put meat on the table if so inclined, and works on zombies to 200 yds.

and their contagious.... ;D
