Bought a 1944 M38 for $150 a few years ago from a guy at my local gun show because he wanted his money back when he bought it in 1998. Sold it to friend for $350 thirty minutes later because I didn't know what I had. What a dummy I was. Very nice guns!!! I have only seen 2 1944 Huskies for sale in ...

I had a 1941 Husky as well but it was not a excellent example and sold it off.

aussimmo2015 wrote:That is a beautiful collection. Do you shoot any of them?

Yes, some I have shot, but not the 1944 ones.

I have a large Swedish rifles collection and just shoot the Ljungman and M96's and CG-63's the most.

I have 2 of those rare Swedes in like new condition straight from the crate plus a 1942 and 1943 one as well - http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s380/mkrnel/Collector%20Firearms/Swedish%20Husqvarna%20M38%206%205x55mm%20Mausers/SwedishHusqvarnaM3865x55mmMausers002_zps26d7b01e.jpg http://i1048.photo...

And you guys wonder why I always say I would rather be lucky than good? Great finds and after maybe shooting that one time I would retire it to become a safe queen. Make sure if it has import marking they did not strike the barrel hard enough to bulge the liner inward and make it unsafe to shoot. T...

Yes the other was the same only marked P-27 Definitely these came from a serious collection, and sometimes you just have to wait till the owner dies before the collection gets broken up. If you could have got them both, you would not have hit a grand slam, you would have won the world series. By th...

Maybe you are going to the wrong shows !

I must be lucky because I also found a 1940 Tula M38 carbine in excellent condition about 6 months ago that I found out was also rare - http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s380/mkrnel/1940%20Tula%20M38/Rifles111.jpg http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s380/mkrnel/1940%20Tula%20M38/Rifles107.jpg http...

Found this super nice shape Finnish Mosin Nagant at a gunshow this weekend and as I'm not that familar in Mosin's I was wondering if any of you experts out their can tell me about it. I think it is straight out of arsenal storage as it was filled with a very old and thick grease and the stock is in ...

If they cut the supply to the US of Russian ammo it will sure help drive down the price for us here in Canada, when they stopped the supply of SKS's, SVT-40's, Norinco M14's and Steel cored 7.62x39mm ammo to the states the price of them dropped to almost half what we were paying and stayed that way ...

A lot of these M1917's got rebuilt during and just after WWI and during WWII. I have a Eddystone one (serial # 569483) that was completely reblued and all matching parts except for the Remington stamped trigger, stock and barrel. It was fitted with a like new 3-18 Remington barrel (March 1918) and a...

Was it typical for the Russians to dab these rifles with black paint to touch up bluing imperfections? As I cleaned up my "new" '43 Izhevsk, I noticed flecks of paint coming off here and there. And, is using white paint/nail polish on the rear sight graduations considered modification? Ye...

In Canada we got a few shipments of M91/30's with all matching serial number bayonets, I have a about 4 that are all matching with excellent bores as well. I think that these were refurbed and kept together until shipped here.

Hard to say but I think my 1940 Tula M38 Carbine may be one of my best -

Thank you,

Glad I could share with you all.

Here is a front end pic.

You sure know how to get the members attention. Posting a rare Mosin like that will get you a lot of friends here. Welcome to the madness. Anybody want to bet he has a few more to make us drool? Not to brag, but I am only a small time collector of Commie weapons, if you include my 5 SVT's including...
