Started with a 1917 Colt 45 Army Service Inherited from my dad "Army", next I picked out a 1946 91/30 Mosin fun shooter think it a ex-sniper scope holes were filledin, then got a Yugo SKS 59/66 still in wooden stock eats ammo 5 at a time. I Got my FFL03 and ordereda German P-38 it on it the way in the next week.
The weekend I’m going to look at a few Mosin M44's and some M38’s and pickup 7.62x54R to feed the little beggars. Have my eye on a 1895 Nagant revolver but it may have to wait. I really like Mosin and the feel of a wooden stocks it take skill to shoot with iron sights. Someday if I save my pennies I will get a 91/30 sniper with a scope but for now I like to eat to much. I'm currently working in the Firearm repressive state of Maryland look forward to retiring and moving to Florida.
Welcome to the board, we have several members here from Maryland , I have a 1917 Colt also, a bit worse for wear, but still shoots. A 1946 91/30 would be a very rare date to find on a Soviet long rifle , post that one up in the Mosin forum , I know some of the members have off date 91/30's and would love to see it

Just joined the Forums, have a few firearms for fun what I call punching holes in paper shooting targets and a couple to punch holes in those who came in my house uninvited. Have a few collectibles, I shoot what I collect. Started with a 1917 Colt 45 Army Service, then picked out a 1946 91/30 Mosin I think it’s a ex-sniper the scope holes are filled in. Next I picked up a Yugo SKS 59/66. Received my FFL03 and ordered a German P-38 it on the way some time this week.
The weekend Sat I’m out looking at a some Mosin M44 and M38’s to add to the stack. Have my eye on a 1895 Nagant revolver but it may have to wait. I really like Mosin and the feel of a wooden stocks, someday if I save my pennies I will get a 91/30 sniper with a scope

Hi Folks - Making my obligatory first post as a new forum member and looking forward to reading and learning as much as I can handle about the Mosin world. I currently own a 1942 M38 and a 1939 M91/30 but I'm sure they won't be the last. Looking forward to interaction and, hopefully, to making some contributions to a great forum. Regards to all.

Hello hharke, please take a quick moment to review the board policy regarding permanent alterations to milsurp weapons, this would include turning ordinary rifles into snipers, or recommissioning decommissioned snipers, Thank you.

Welcome to the board, not rare, but definitely not common either, very nice You have to resize the pics down to 640x480 before they will post from your computer. Or you can link from photobucket.
