7x57 wrote:Hello from Germany. Started my collector's career just a few weeks ago and got my second gun - a Hungarian M1891/30 - last weekend. First gun was a Brazilian Mauser 1935 long rifle. Two more are on the waiting list (only two guns each 6 months allowed to buy under German firearms law...) - will be a Finnish M39 and a Persian Mauser Model 1309.
Welcome to the board, the Hungarian M91/30 is rarely seen here in the states unless it's a PU sniper version brought home from places like Vietnam by US troops. We would love to see a photo spread of that one. Good choice on the M39, and the 98/29 Persian Mauser.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

That Hungarian looks unissued, or is it refurbished? Very nice, I heard of a few being found in Canada, but the most Hungarian Mosins we see are M44's. I have a Hungarian 91/30 PU sniper as do a few other board members, but no regular 91/30's that I recall. Lot of Mauser collectors here, I have examples from both world wars as well as various export Mausers that went to Turkey, or South America. Always nice to see them around. That 2 rifles every six months bit would put a real cramp in the collecting style of some around here who might do that many in a day

The Nagant is indeed unissued - from factory to depot, later sold from there as surplus to a German importer and there one of the bosses took it at once for his collection. When this guy stopped collecting and sold his guns due to his age, a former employee and armsdealer bought it and sold it to me. That's the story of this rifle - and no wonder it looks nearly factory-fresh. At the moment a few Hungarian 1891/30s are in auctions here in Germany - mostly in very good condition and go for prices between 150-250 Euros...

just arrived on the board. My name is Ian and I'm from Nottingham in the UK.
I have a 1944 Izhevsk PU sniper.
Looking forward to being a member, please bear with me if any of my questions seem basic, Haven't had the rifle long but it was a long time finding what I wanted.
