Greed is good

Post by Miller Tyme » Fri Nov 07, 2014 7:25 pm

Gordon Gekko was right, “greed is good”, ;) at least it is when it comes to collecting Mosin Nagant’s.

This past spring I got the opportunity to acquire a rare Finnish 42 B-Barrel M91 built on a round receiver and jumped at the chance. So when a second one showed up in an on line auction sight with a low bid I just had to throw my hat into the ring. To my surprise my bid held up and I now have 2nd one.

This one’s serial number is almost 13,000 higher than my other one. It has a 2 piece Finnish stock with a spliced butt, and Russian style sling slots with Finnish dog collars. Like my other one it has a pristine bore and still shows signs of cosmoline on the action.

All in all I am very pleased with the rifle and it will make a nice edition to my growing collection of Finnish MN’s .

Very nice rifles. Thank you for showing them. Do you plan on putting a few rounds through them to see how they shoot?

Regards
Peter.

The latest one will definetly see some range time Peter, but the 1st one is still in cosmoline so it will just be a safe queen.
