I've been reading this forum for a little while now, figured I'd join. I don't know if I'm addicted to mosins yet but my 3rd one I've ordered in less than a month should be here Wednesday! Ordered 2 1942 izzys last month, gave one to my dad, and have a hex Izhevsk coming from classic arms. The laminate stocks from Aim is next!

Welcome to the forum, you are off to a great start

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

As "the Boss" said, Welcome aboard! Nice of you to get one for your Dad!
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

Free Mosins are the best Mosins, I know, because I once got one for free

Oh and you said Laminates at AIM are next? You mean it's not already coming? Be careful they've been up for a few days and won't last much longer I suspect.
Re: New member here
Hello and welcome!!!
I won't hound you about pictures since the other guys brought it to your attention already.
Sounds like you have a good collection already! Nice job!
Now, about those pictures...

Hi, and welcome! 3 in a month is a respectable start, right about were Rongoman started. He has, however done three in a day, with three in a week more normal for him!

dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve an
equation, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a
computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

Well you wouldn't Matt, you're almost as bad, except you do it on a smaller scale and find those rare rifles no one else has ever seen like Mosins made using elf tears and howitzer shells.martin08 wrote:I see nothing wrong with that.Rongoman wrote:
