Yes it is :)
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Usually the addiction is overcome when the first clump of dirt hits the top of the coffin, that is unless you take the Mosins with you :)

Does that mean you are buried in a casket full of cosmolone?

I am sure they can tailor the color of the embalming fluid to that of cosmoline, in fact I know they can, and we can spray some cosmoline into the box to give you that smell. Will next Tuesday work for you :twisted: ?

Actually, I overcame my Mosinitus for the most part by converting my first Saiga... :big shock:

Passing up a Izhevsk MO would be bad enough but passing a 41 Tula and a MO would be a lifetime mistake. :beek:

You could be buried in a Mosin crate and save someone thousands of dollars. Coffins are expensive.

Having a Finn show up on GB would be reason enough to wake back up and get one last bid in. As tired as I am, I can't rest with only 7 Mosins in the rack!

Here in Mpls several years back, a punk rock group and their pals placed a corpse in their rehearsal studio and used it as a floor lamp stand. Police were not impressed by their mod skills, and they had to give it back to the family.
