...of guns in my collection. :oops:

Today, I finally acquired a piece of Soviet history to accommodatemy AK. Ladies and gentlemen...my baby.

A Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifle. This thing was the most mass-produced weapon in the Soviet army until the AK-47 was officially adopted. Simple, rugged, and firing the powerful 7.62 x 54mm cartridge, it's an absolute ****c. Copies were manufactured in nearly a dozen other countries, including China, Hungary, Romania, Polan, the United States ( :shock: ), Turkey, North Korea etc. etc. This means that it's kinda hard to get the real deal. If you know me though, I don't settle for copy-cats. Here's why I got this rifle;

Hammer and sickle emblem is clearly visible on the top of the bolt receiver. This is the real deal, ladies and gents. And to make the find even more awesome, check that date right below it. I wonder if it saw action.

The rifle also came with period cleaning kit and tools, and, to my amazement, the original bayonet. Oh, and did I mention this cost me all about $65? God bless America...
