Bought a Mosin Nagant M38 Today

[Mark@Sea]

Sorry, Moped, the Enfield and the Swede are spoken for, it looks like. The Yugo mauser was never issued, and I've never fired it. I don't know what it is worth in that condition, but guessing 250?

What with the Mosins, Enfields, Mausers of several different flavors, and the US rifles, if we all ever get together for a shoot, it ought to be a lot of fun. A regular variety show/history lesson.

No problem. We should all get together for a shoot. I have a bubbadized Isaphore that I could bring out along with some .308. You don't happen to have some pics of that old Mauser do you?

[Mark@Sea]

I don't, but might could get some (depends on how busy my wife is). It looks like a german K98, exactly - but looks almost brand new. 99.9% bluing, no dirt or dents on the wood. 8mm mauser ammo was corrosive - the bore is perfect. Not an arsenal refinish, literally an un-issued, 60 year old rifle.

More "stuff from the closet" coming up in the next few weeks; a FAL, a couple of cherry M1A's from the mid-90's (all GI parts except the receiver), a few other odds and ends.

It sounds cool! It's no big deal and can wait till you get back in from sea. I may hold on to my pennys and see just exactly what you do pull out of your closet!
