Nice little collection there. I have several Mosin Nagants 91/30,s an M44 and an M59. Currently theres a bunch of M91/30's on sale at Cabelas for 99 bucks each. I was looking at them recently. I'm sorely tempted to add to my collection. I have a 1927 and 28 Ishevsk and a 1942 Tula (I think). One of the rifles I was looking at the other day is dated 1942 and is the roughest looking piece of iron I've ever seen. Even the round bob on the end of the bolt is not smoothed. Looks like a piece of scrap metal. Obviously they were unconcerned with anything but getting weapons to the front. However, in contrast to many of the others on the rack it appears to have an excellent barrel with sharp rifling right up to the muzzle crown. So it was either never used or was rebarreled at some stage. I'm sorely tempted to go and pick it up as I might have a real piece of history there that actually shoots well into the bargain.
