8 Simple Rules

"Collectors Forum" - All Mosin Nagant are discussed here. Also the Russian and "Finnish capture" SVT38 and SVT40. This is an excellent place for new Mosin owners to ask questions. We have some of the best experts here looking forward to your questions. If you post a Mosin sniper rifle here, we may or may not move it to the sniper forum.

Preservation forum, please no altered military surplus rifles or discussions on altering in this forum. No sportsters. Please read the rules at the top of each forum

8 Simple Rules

Post by Jumperwire »

General Rules:for all forums
1. Please treat everyone with respect Pretty Simple
2. Please try to avoid the use of profanityIf you can't say it to your mom, then don't say it here.
3. Try to stay on-topic. I know, just try I'm a major rule violator here, but Dolk keeps us in line
4. No irresponsible posts advocating illegal or unsafe practicesLeave the Stupid Stuff for Stupid People
5. No commercial soliciting without first asking permissionYou want to run a business, go somewhere else.
6. Do not Post open auctions. Closed auctions are OKWhy? Cause it's Rule #6
7. No political discussion period. We are not equipped to handle political arguments here. Firearms legislation may be discussed only in the "off Topic" forum, but if it takes too much of a political turn, it will be removed. We're not here to discuss the worlds problems. If we are here, we probably have our own problems to deal with.
8. No advertising is allowed in the signature of a member on the forums. This is reserved for advertisers only.Nothing is free in life and advertising here isn't either

Also Read the Preservation Rules. They are pretty simple too. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :pointdown:

We do not advocate or encourage altering military surplus firearms.
"Reversible" changes that are made are considered OK as long as they are 100% reversible and no altering of the firearm has been made. Original parts should be kept to return the firearm to "original" later. Items such as scout mount that removes the rear sights and adds a mount for a scout scope are considered OK as long as the items causes no permanent damage or alterations.

Drilling and tapping, refinishing of metal parts, or refinishing stocks are not considered preservation and discussing how to do this is not acceptable discussion on these forums.

Do not ask how to alter a military surplus firearm here, or post altered military surplus firearms on the Preservation Forums.

If you are thinking of altering a military surplus rifle, we don't want to hear about it here.

If you have come in possession of a alter surplus rifle and you are considering
1) Trying to repair that damage, you may post it in the Restoration Forum or Sportster Forum .
2) If it is going to be left in that condition it may be shown in the sportsters forum . It will be up to the Administrators as to wither it is allowed to remain or not.

No posting of reproduction snipers or re-snipered ex-snipers. Discussions on reproductions sniper almost always start an argument and negative discussions. We have chosen to cut off discussion of these rifles.

Replacing damaged parts to return the firearm to working condition is acceptable and should be kept to a minimum.






Breaking rules will have consequences. If you break the rules, we as your hosts will make a reasonable effort to correct you. We are here to discuss what we enjoy, but we all must respect the rules of these forums.

Thanks.......refreshers are good to have. Simple rules are even better. To date, 10 seems to be the correct number most should be able to remember, 8 should be a breeze.

Rule 6 is simple. Junk Yard Dog may be bidding on a auction, and he don't want any unfair competition. If you find a auction on a cool item, bid if you want but keep your yap shut till after the auction. Blabbing and running your face about a open auction is a good way to get Dog bit.

5. No commercial soliciting without first asking permissionYou want to run a business, go somewhere else.
8. No advertising is allowed in the signature of a member on the forums. This is reserved for advertisers only.Nothing is free in life and advertising here isn't either

#5, If you have a business and want to advertise here just contact ole' LC and show me your stuff. IT BETTER BE NOTHING THAT PERMANATELY MODIFIES A FIREARM.

#8, Where else can you find a better client base for such a liddle bit-o-money?
