Ipressive collection. I was working on similar though my principal interest is german weapons. I did have about four Mosin's including one of the 91/59's which were supposed to be a cold war special. And an M44. Unfortunately economic troubles caused me to sell most of the collection some years ago and I now have only a handful. Given what's happened to the prices of late I'm afraid there's no chance of re-building. A rifle I paid 97 bucks for some years ago on sale is now over 300. Oh well. I do still have a Nagant revolver which I'll likely never sell. Neat piece of kit.

When I was getting into this I made a chart of Mauser K98 production. Factories per year. My intent was to get one from each year made by each factory

That was never going to happen. I did wind up with four of which I've sold three. The one I kept was the most beat up looking by far but it shoots like a laser beam.

I never did manage to acquire an SKS which is one I really would have like to have picked up. Oh well. I'm starting to lose interest now. The club where I used to shoot in competitions has closed and there little incentive to drive an our out and back just to bang away for no real reason any more.

Your collection is admirable. And yeah. Pic's would be nice
