If there were a "Florida Atlantic Coast Only Gun Forum", I'd be on that. Unfortunately...
While I'm not too stoked for doing a 10 hour drive anytime soon, I can ship them anywhere you want if you're up for it.
Bump.
Being that the two Mosins are SCW rifles and all have no import marks, I feel that they're already priced quite fairly compared to the current market. However, I could come down to $325 on the Carcano, $525 on the Izhevsk, and $450 on the Tula. This is the final and only reduction.
The Mosins:
1936 Izhevsk M91/30 used by the Republican faction in the Spanish Civil War. One of the original swivels remains and the original stock cartouches are present and crisp. No import markings. -- $550
1937 Tula M91/30 also used by the Republican faction in the Spanish Civil War. This...
Not sure where you're seeing that its serial dates to 1905, but a 1,000,000-ish serial dates to late 1918. Being that the barrel is dated to October 1918, it's probably the original barrel.
The serial would have to be 67,001-119,000 for it to date to 1905.
The Soviets weren't known to deface Tsarist markings, except when reusing receivers and remarking them. The crudely-scrubbed barrel marking and peened receiver marking is consistent with imports from Romania.
The Fémáru (aka FÉG) Pistole Modell 37 is a version of the Model 37M produced for the Germans, namely the Luftwaffe. Rather than being in .380acp as is the Hungarian model, it's in .32acp. It also features a 1911-style thumb safety not present on the 37M. 85,000 total pistols were made for the...
Forget about the common run-of-the-mill refurbed 91/30 with huge billboard import marks, ugly finish, and flaking shellac stocks. This right here is what the 91/30 is supposed to be.
Up for sale is a 1939 Tula made Mosin-Nagant that was captured by the Finnish Army early during the...
Up for sale is a nice 1955 Tula SKS-45 refurbished at the Turkestan Military District arsenal in Tashkent, Uzbek SSR. The stock is an original Tula hardwood force matched stock with nice clear markings.
The rifle as a whole seems to retain the majority of its original finish, usually redone...
