Hakke Palle!
I have gone from one Mosin to three!
Left to right.
Izhevsk M-1891/30 (Svetlana)
SAKO Kiv/28-30 (Hanna)
Chongqing Type 53 (Lei)
I think I will be back down to two soon since Anglave (waves) has been wanting one for a short while and I'm a generous soul.
This is the first time I've had rifles that were on opposing sides in a war in the same place. Svetlana was Soviet and Hanna was Finnish and both were made during the right time period to face each other.
PS: Bought from a friend who was a little down on his luck using the evil face to face gun sale loophole.
PPS: Bonus points for knowing WHY Lei is her name.

Because she's Chinese?
ReplyDeleteI would like an M38 very much. Not the M44, don't want the folding bayonet.
No bonus points, but you're on the right track.
ReplyDeleteI have not seen a 38 for sale in a long time and the last few I saw were pretty darned beat up. The 44's, on the other hand, have been trending towards pristine with the Polish M-50's on the market. Lei is the second 44 I've had, the first was a Polish M-50. I think they're neat but the allure wears off pretty fast and I tend to ditch them.
