I had just got done paying for a Finn M39, when I saw a Finn capture 91/30 with an SA stamped barrel on ********* with a buy it now price of $299. Figuring I had no chance, I put in a bid of 100 bucks.

It won!

So in one week I get Mosins #9 and #10.

congratulations

right place, right time

you "stole" that 91/30 capture Sir. Well done!!!

NOW---> Which of your Mosin babys is the favorite????????

gandog56 · 06-20-2009, 12:44 AM

I am waiting to receive my M39 and SA before I choose!

gandog56 · 06-20-2009, 12:46 AM

There is no cure for Mosinitis. You can only alleviate the symptoms by buying a new Mosin.

gandog56 · 06-23-2009, 03:13 PM

And the first to arrive is my new M39!

ncbelly · 06-23-2009, 06:36 PM

I got my 91/30 for $115. I didn't think that was a bad price. My buddy got his M44 for $89.

gandog56 · 06-24-2009, 09:48 AM

My last 91/30 was 90 bucks shipped. My M44 laminated was $79.95 + shipping.

But both were before you know who got elected.

gandog56 · 06-24-2009, 03:19 PM

And what shows up in the big brown truck today?
My 1938 Izzy Finn capture SA stamped barrel 91/30. Two new Mosin Nagants in two days. I'm as happy as a pig in poop!

nice rifles gan, looking forward to the family photo

gandog56 · 06-25-2009, 11:08 AM

Here's the other 8.

JLA · 06-25-2009, 11:45 PM

thats a good lookin mess of 'legend rifles' The czar himself would be proud to see them still in action

momo · 06-26-2009, 09:31 PM

So give us the specs on the M39. Is it a Sako, VKT, Tikka, B barrel? As soon as you shoot it you'll find out that they are much more accurate than the 91/30.

JUNKKING · 06-26-2009, 09:54 PM

They had them at the gun show last weekend here in Greensburgh PA for 95 dollars but they were nowhere near as clean looking as those. Seems like you got a great deal.

VKT

So gannie, hows that new M39 of yours shoot?

GLAD YOU ASKED!
Lower group, Czech light ball milsurp.
Upper group, my reloads. Point of aim was the 6 o'clock for both groups.

I would have still snatched one for that price!

JLA · 06-27-2009, 12:05 PM

Nice groups gan, You have yourself a keeper

gandog56 · 06-27-2009, 01:30 PM

The other one was not so good. But I am going to give it a more thorough cleaning, and run it through my Outers Foul Out III to see if I can pull out any old lead and copper deposits. It didn't shoot bad, all were inside the 8" target, just no tight groups.

gandog56 · 06-29-2009, 11:24 AM

Gosh, pulled a TON of old copper out. The gun would almost HAVE to shoot better, now. Guess I have a trip set up this Sunday with some buds to find out.

gandog56 · 07-19-2009, 12:27 PM

Ahh, may have found the problem. This lady seems to prefer Bulgie heavy ball. May have to try a different reload, all mine were only 147 grains.

Gandog:

Pardon me for asking this.
Are you attracted to rifles which mostly have attractive outside features, or do you check the bores' condition and then study the external parts?
