The big brown truck... again

[SKS Ray]

First off.... is it bad that i'm on a first name basis with the UPS driver?
Anyway, I got the M91/59 Mosin Nagant I always wanted today. The M91/59 is actually the last Mosin Nagant ever made. The details and history of these rifles are sketchy. They're 91/30s that were cut down and made into carbines well after WW2, and were carried by border patrol guards and possibly put away in case a need came to arm Russian citizens. I've heard by many people that these will outshoot M38 and M44 rifles because of the cut down 91/30 barrel's better accuracy.
Complete with modified rear sight, matching numbers all around, and freshly refinished Russian goodness here she is in the hard shell rifle case the distributor sends them out it which I think is a great idea. Definitely a great addition in anyone's Mosin Nagant collection and I'm glad I got mine because Ive heard there are no more to import.
I think I'll bring it to the Fall Pumpkin shoot. I also heard they throw a mean fireball.

Ya know, that reminds me... anyone ever see that Ted Nugent picture where he's laid back and surrounded by guitars? I want one of those with me and my rifles.

That would be a sweet pic!


Hmmmmm Maybe there's a market for that... I could travel to people's houses with camera, lights, reflectors etc... And take pictures of them surrounded by their firearms!

I was looking into an M38 as I want a carbine sans bayonet but now I believe I will get one of these. Very nice looking Mosin.

Nice Rifle!
