Talking My Dream Mosin Nagant Rifle is...

Let's try something new here if I may. Finish the following sentance:
"My dream Mosin Nagant rifle is a ________."

Humor is allowed (and probably expected) since it seems most of us are a bunch of Mosinitis infected ....

... collection of 100! From 1891 to 1957 (or so).

Only 95 to go.

My dream mosin nagant rifle is a 91/30 sniper owned by Vicily Zaitsev with documentation that it was the one he used to kill the German sniper in Stalingrad/St. Petersburg.

Baring that, I have a few different "fun gun" designs in my head that include a carbine that's done up as a scout rifle and a 91/30 that's done up as a long-range sniper.

I believe Mr. Zeitzev's rifle is on display in some war museum in Russia, but I'm sure they'll let you look at it if you like...

My dream Mosin rifle is a complete set, all in mint condition, of one each of each model from each aresenal that made them - including Westinghouse and Remington.

That's in addition to one made up to meet my needs as a deer rifle, of course.

I hate to be the one to break the news, but the two snipers in the movie did not go head-to-head in real life. The movie was only loosly based on the life of Zaitsev, and the defense of Staligrad.

Don't get me wrong, I love that movie.

My dream Mosin would be another unsullied Dragoon model, like the one stolen from my house some years back.
