I was trolling the 7.62x54R.net web site, and I began to wonder how many of the varieties Mosin-Nagant posted there belonged to NES members. I also thought that this would be a thread that most of NES MilSurp-ers could participate in, and a great educational opportunity.
Rules:
1. Any Mosin-Nagant rifle; M91, M91/30, Dragoons, Cossacks, M07, M27, M38 M38, M91/59, Finn, Finned, P series, etc, etc, and etc.
2. Unlimited entries as long as they are different - Fred rule
3. Up to four pictures per entry with brief information; cost, significance, rarity, etc.
4. Entries end Valentine's Day
6. Chit chat/comments/reps allowed - this is supposed to be fun - we all like to show off
Our previous record in the monthly entries was the first one - pistols - with 28 entries. I think we can double that. Personally, I'd like to see a comparison of Dragoon versus a Cossack. I would also make space in my cabinet for one other Mosin-Nagant - a Polish M91/25/38 8mm conversion.
Let's go!
