Rarest & most uncommon Mosin Nagant in your Collection

[shmlnaaa]

This thread seems like an appropriate place for this collage I made a few months ago when I was bored.

I listed this one before, maybe it's a one of a kind rear sight? So far no one has seen one....... might be my rarist. 1901 Tula





This ones pretty tough as well, with it's adjustable rear sight.





This one might not be very rare but according to some number collectors, it seems to be the highest recorded serial number for an early/undated 28/30.







And then there's my M27's with unit disk, pretty tough finds!

My 3 rarest would have to be...

#1. 1938 Tikka M27


#2. 1927 dated M28 thats outside the accepted serial for a 1927 dated rifle in a ski trooper stock that may be original to the rifle.


#3. Finn Captured 1934 Izhevsk 91/30 with stepped blade front sight and button bands.

A 1906 Ish, still in Arsins forward swivel the works oh yea, its German marked with the flower looking thing in the wood and marked CUST DEPOT on the drivers side of the receiver. I'll get pics going as soon as my apprentice brings it back!!!!!!-Steve

cruddymutt, I like that M27 Not that the rest aren't nice, it's just that I haven't seen a 1938 dated one.

[Jumperwire]

Holy sweet ....That has to be about a 25 on the scale of 10. That stock is really nice.

I can imagine how fast his heart was beating when he found that one.

[desdem12]

Those are some of the nicest finns i have ever seen. Very nice stuff.

[Izhevsk762]

Good to see you over here cruddymutt!

I have two Finns which I am not sure which is more rare or un uncommon


1. 1944 Tikka hex 91/30. I understand that the Finns only produced the Mosin Nagant 91/30 for two years (1943-1944) at Tikka. Production in 1944 was only about 9000 rifles.
2. 1937 BLUE BOLT two piece stock 91/30

[TulaTom]

Some truly rare and impressive rifles in this thread. I don't know that I have anything rare, but here are three of my nicer Mosin's. I could flip flop the last one with a couple other rifles.
1943 SkY



P-26



1937 SCW

[racerguy00]

New England Westinghouse M44 trainer conversion

[Bear94]

Well, it's my only (but definitely not my last ) Mosin nagant. A Finn M39 late date(1970)/no maker with a 1905 tang date.




Looking at the other M39s posted here, my stock looks very dark. Anyone know what wood was used for them?

My 3 rarest would have to be...

#1. 1938 Tikka M27


#2. 1927 dated M28 thats outside the accepted serial for a 1927 dated rifle in a ski trooper stock that may be original to the rifle.


#3. Finn Captured 1934 Izhevsk 91/30 with stepped blade front sight and button bands.

[kjohn]

This one probably isn't rare, but I love the stamping:
