GOt these all locally as handpicks, except for the M38 that I bought myself for my birthday today for $100 at a shop I stopped in at real quick.

All Izhevsk marked.

M38, counterbored but pristine bore all matching cept floor plate.

1928 Hex. CCCP marked.
1936 Hex
1935/49 Hex double date Ministry of Defense marked.
91/30's are 100% matching
each of those were $112 OTD

All pass the bullet test easily.


Picked up one of those huge Mosin crates too for $50 .

I've been thinking of getting a stack of mosins again, I could use 4 new 91/30's. I think the m38 is my favorite of the series but they seem hard to come across anymore.

I assume those all have accessory kits?

Nice ones! Congratulations. I miss the times past when the big brown truck stopped quite frequently to deliver new treasures. Nice that you have some good stuff locally. Is the M38 in a 38 stock or a 44?

Congrats on the Mosins and yes those gallery rounds were a hoot. All the boom, none of the recoil.

Nice looking collection. My first bolt gun was a M44.

I also picked up one of those crates a while ago for....$50 bucks as well.

You need to pracitce up and then come shoot in next year's C&R bolt gun match. It will start in May. This years is 3/4ths over with, August is the last month then the awards in September after all the targets are sent in and scored.

Not to hijack, but how do you legally ship live ammo from person to person?

P.S. How much are gallery rounds worth?

First make sure the state and or locality your shipping to doesn't have some kind of restriction against the ammo you're shipping there (if it does then it's up to your discretion from that point on) then box it up and take it to UPS. Mark the box ORM-D (IIRC that means Other Restricted Materials) or something like that and indicate on the paperwork that you are shipping "small arms ammunition". They may want you to ship it "signature required" or "over 18 to sign" but that may not be an actual requirement just something they try to get more money out of a person. From my pat experience that's about it though it's been a while and things do change.

P.S. All the ammo I ever shipped was through an actual UPS center and not a UPS Store so that may make a difference.

In my experiences, I agree with Richard Simmons. UPS shipping hubs are 10 times better than the stores....at least in my experience's.

Nice Mosins brother, my second firearm was a M44 and damn they are fun. Have had a M38, and 91/30 since then and out of the lot I like the M38 best. Gave the M38 to a friend in a trade for a shitload of 308 ammo. He sawed the stock off and holy shit it was rough. I might pick me up a few Mosins sometime in the future, you just cant beat a serviceable military rifle of the past for the price. Hope you enjoy your new toys.
