I now have Mosinitis

Bought a 1937 Tula MN 91/30 today. It was too good to pass up and only cost $99.98. I can't get any M1's that cheap, besides, they're ugly as sin, shoot well, and I won't break the bank buying them. This gives me an Izhevsk and a Tula. All I need now is one with a hex receiver and I'll be a happy camper. Because of the draconian (read that as fooking ridiculous) laws here in the PRK I can't bring it home until the 6th of June so there are no pictures to prove it happened but I promise I'll get them up when it comes home to roost.

Cool, Congrats!
I have a '43 Izhevsk 91/30 and a '44 Tula M44, I would like a Hex receiver as well, Condolences on the wait...

I infected my boys about 5 years ago. Made them all buy M38s. We have an annual shoot at the cabin to see who is "TOP SHOT". follow link to some pics from this year

I have Stan's 91/30 PU here at my house. I'm gunsitting it. It's nice in an ugly way.

Nothing like the thunderclap and fireball from an M44 just before dusk.

I have one of those here also. That is the most obnoxious gun I ever fired. The Russians tried to obnoxious the Germans in their effort to win the war.

Oh yeah! Well I see your m44, and raise you a Mitchell's Mauser M63 in 8mm shooting 1942 surplus turk..

I have a '40 and a '43 tula 91/30, the '40 is in rather nice shape but the '43 looks like the Russian's dug out of a farmers field and refurbished it, still shoots good needs a new ejector though. Welcome to the disease

I have a 1934 and a '36 Tula, both hexes. I've only shot the '34 so far, made a nice little group, the only problem is that it was a foot and a half off to the right! Upon closer inspection I did find that the front sight was a little tweaked.

and that's how I got started. I've scrounged up a 1917 remington, westinghouse, a 98 tula, ishvesk, Sestroretsk,Chatterault, and a 39 sneak finn.
