My Dream Mosin Nagant Rifle is...

LefthandShooter · 03-10-2008, 04:11 PM

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.

LefthandShooter · 03-10-2008, 04:19 PM

I need a way to convince my wife I need multiple more of these rifles!

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.

My dream rifle is a M28/30.

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 is the first mosin ever made and the original stamp dies to go with it.

billy · 03-10-2008, 07:11 PM

i want Vasily Grigoryevich Zaitsev's rifle!
with paperwork to prove it.

texnmidwest · 03-10-2008, 08:09 PM

I agree with Billy. But to tell the truth...I want them all!

jeffsenpai · 03-10-2008, 08:13 PM

I want enough Mosins and 7.62x54R to raise my own peasant army!

Cyrano · 03-10-2008, 08:13 PM

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.

SwedeSteve · 03-10-2008, 08:26 PM

Sounds good to me Cyr! And a display room too...

squirrelbaster · 03-10-2008, 08:26 PM

my dream mosin is made out of the melted down crown jewels of England and presented to me during my knighting ceremony!

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 is....the one in my closet!!

Boo-ya! Check and Mate

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