They are more fun when they come in a crate.

    I have always thought it would be cool to have my own creat of Mosins. Well, thanks to my good friend KeystoneKid (Bill), I have a creat of hex Mosins. :D
    I picked it up on May the 25th along with some empty creats from the dealer that is a buyer for PW Arms.
    I was up in PA. visiting a Marine buddy of mine.

    Here is Isaac (my little one) on the tailgate of my truck right when we got back to Bill's house.

    And here is the bottom of the box. The 2 slings I looked at were stamped 1954.

    We played with my new toys for an hour or two then packed them away for my trip home.

    After putting almost 2000 miles on my truck, we made it home last week. It took some time to unpack.
    That's Austin by the truck, boy has he gotten bigger in the last 4 years.

    I know I will be asked so, I will go ahead and post. 20 rifles to the crate at $85 each (these are all Hex) that comes to $1700.
    I picked them up from Dan's Sporting Goods in PA. Dan is a Wholeseller.

    It would cost close to $200 to have a crate shipped to LA.

    Well, I now have over 50 Mosins now. Besides the crate I picked up 16 other guns on my trip and 4 of those were Mosins also.
    I gave one rifle to Bill and sold one, but I will have to go through my collection before I sell anything.
    The light green crate on top is now my coffee table. :rofl:

    I really never had much interest in Mosins, but those are just damn beautiful. Plus I have a weakness for Russkie rifles. Since you're holding on to yours (and I don't blame ya!), where else might I find a similar example?

    Contact Dan.
    He does do hand select. I looked at some he had on the side to ship out and they were some of the best looking ones I've seen.

    Well I have over 50 Mosins right now, added a Finnish M24 yesterday.
    I will have to do an invantory to see if I have any duplicate rifle before I sell any.
    If you would like to help or just play and learn more about them, just come on over.
