Thats is a fine lookin family of mosins you have there!!!
Thanks for sharing the pictures.
Now....I aint no doctor but I do believe you have a very severe case of what has been refered to here as "Mosinitis"!!!.
Thankfully,No known cure!!!
Apparently all you can do is treat the symptoms,like buy some more of them when the craving strikes you!!
I dont own one but I fear I may fall victim to the disease sooner than later!!
Dont suppose you are afflicted by "Other Guns disease" and have some more pictures"Gun Porn" to share?? Regards.
Oz, the only thing you have to watch out for is the Cosmoline, it appears there may be something in it that causes Mosinitis, yet somehow, Mr. Frank Hoppe was able to find a treatment for it. Note, I said treatment, not cure. A minimum application of Hoppe's No. 9 once a week, whether inhaled or directly to the skin, seems to reduce the symptoms of Mosinitis greatly.
Please, pray for us poor souls with this debilitating disease...

Thanks for the pics K75RT. Just when I thought I was coming to grips with my Mosin sickness, I now find out that 7 (just sold a M44 and bought a M38 and a M91/59) ain't enough medication to feed the need for more Mosins. Great looking Mosins, my friend. Definitely a collection to be proud of. Thanks for sharing and keep on Mosinating!!!

Nice Mosin collection K75! You've got 10 more than me. I am still taking great care of that 1941 M39 Sako that you fostered to my care. It is still one of my favorites.
Those rifles do make me drool! Absolutely beautiful!!
You know you have mosinitis bad when you start selling your "hunting" guns in order to buy more mil surplus! I have sold two and about to sell the third...to buy more milsurplus.
