The Heyday of my collecting

[Billrube]

At one time I collected Mosins by production year and Arsenal....I had an office/gunroom and I was like a hog in slop. Mosins, Mausers, SKSs, AKs, Oh My!

I've narrowed my  collection way way down as I am getting older....found these pics and thought I'd share them.

I admire your sickness!  

[gregintenn]

Great stuff! Thanks for sharing, and welcome to the forum!

Very, very Nice! It's not hard to notice one of these is much unlike the others.  Tell me you had another room full of those and this one was overflow.

[Billrube]

The MG42 was a one-of-akind lol. Believe it or not it's a Ruger 10/22 in a dress up kit. The ammo is belted dummy .223. It was a cool looking .22.

This was the main room and all of the cabinets were full, the 91/30 crate was in my bedroom and other rifles stashed in nooks crannies, under the bed, behind book cases, etc.

Yep, that's a Ruger 10-22 trigger group sticking out of the bottom.  I've been next to a real to a MG42 in action.  Saying they have a fast cyclic rate  is an understatement.

I caught the Mosin fever a few years back but nothing to your extent.

You need more, you don't have enough!

Very impressive collection for sure..........

I'm humbled and awed.

[chitchater]

Wow.   Impressive

Very nice!  Only a strong sense of self-preservation keeps me from doing something similar.  I know that my wife would absolutely kill me!

Great Collection!

Did you ever "complete" the collection with every year and arsenal?

[gregintenn]

I thought the crate of Mosins was a good idea. Once again, my wife did not share my enthusiasm.

You're ahead of me. I can't get away with a second safe

  Hope to have a gun room as complete as yours one day...

Nice!

I wish I would have bought a crate of Mosins

I had 91/30s from the Tula Arsenal from 1920 through 1944 consecutive years. I had M44s from the trial year of 1943 through the last year of production 1948.

I had Remington built M91s and New England Westinghouse built M91s.
