Why?

Why would someone chrome Mosin-Nagants and sell them? I just don't understand it.

 

[Ripach]

Because some idiots will buy them? I personally think they look like crap, not to mention destroy the historical aspect of a finely built firearm.

If I had some chromed Mosins, I would sell them as soon as possible.
Somebody must be buying them....maybe Harley owners.

That's the new shizzle for when you want to pimp your gun.

It's must be a good way to get rid rifles with poor metal finish at a premium price. Besides, some people just can't resist something shiney.

Like someone on another forum said... watch one of those M38s have an SA stamp underneath that chrome.

Maybe they were parade rifles.

No, these are being chromed by the distributor.

No, these are being chromed by the distributor.

That would be the same distributor with that horrible looking red mosin.

 

[vellnueve]

Yes. Although that was done by a customer
