Welcome to the Forum!
You will need to get rid of all else in your life as you will soon be totally absorbed here with no time for anything else! A symptom of Mosinitis!
MOSINITIS RULES!!!!

What I think was amusing was last time I went to the range, I brought my 1911, my AK, and of course my M39. There were a couple guys who had brought their M44's who kept looking at me with the envious "does he even know what he has!?" look. Finally got to chatting with them during a cease-fire... then I went and took my target to the 200 yard mark for practicing with my Mosin. It was a challenge, considering I just don't have the heart to drill and tap that thing for a scope.

I'll get some up within the week, I had a corrupted hard drive 2 weeks ago so I've gotta re-load all my pics.
If it's any consolation I'm not a gun noob just a Mosin noob I just haven't pulled her out or messed with her since I got 'er.
(Oh yeah like a just car or a boat I refer to my firearms as female)  .
My Father-In-Law gave her to me before my 1st tour in the Gulf and he died of cancer while I was deployed, so she's got sentimental value to me. I know the history and I do know that mine is sought after. Still got the Crest so I guess never issued though.(I just couldn't resist pretending I didn't know what I had!) He He He.
P.S. You guys really have a Great Forum,very friendly and inviting.

A 1915 Westinhouse... a 1915 Westinghouse? Well if you're gonna own just one, that's the one to own.
Welcome to the assylum.

Hi Steve, I just found this thread, and what a question for gun lovers! My favorite is a '43 Finn M-38, and I've got a coupla M-44's, and two 91-30's. But the finn is far and away my favorite!!!

I guess I have 5. Now I have to start asking questions about how to clean it, how to take the bayonet off, scout scope mounts and what ammo you should use.
Oh guess I already know most of that. But still like to learn more.

When you stock the shelves are you going to be including a selection of Military Surplus as Well? How about a web site? G&G member discount?
But then again the way this forum is is one of us had a gun shop the member discount would be +30%!
