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!

Both of you are shameless picture whores but pictures are nice. Oh and welcome! Doh!! I did it too. :oops:

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.

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! :lol:

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. :roll:
