Very nice collection.

NICE !
All appear to be in excellent condition.

Johngoboom

Thanks for the compliments.

The 1917 is the roughest (to be expected) but is still in good condition. The 1954 M44 is the best, and appears to be unissued. The one with the sling attached is the one I shoot. It delivers some really good groups and the steel core ammo is a lot of fun to shoot at the large 200 yard silhouettes. It really makes a heck of crack when it hits.

Very nice John, it looks like you have been very busy on more than one front.

Johngoboom

Was that a pun Danny???

Herr Mario

...excellent family there Comrade... .....your M44 is much nicer than mine-which happens to be a 1953 Hungarian-its rough dinged stock has definately "been there,done that" but the bore is mirror...and I wonder if it may have been thru the 1957 Revolution..
....I've got 4 M91's....I LOVE shootin those long beasts....and am amazed at how accurate they are at 100yds with iron sites and my eyes ...all mine are Finn Captures...2 Tikka's....one is a N.E.W 1915 tahs got the Finn Home Guard #s on it(boy if THAT one could talk )...and one Izhevsk 1915 that scares me with how well it shoots.........a 1939 Izhevsk 91/30 thats seems transitional as it doesnt have the globe front site,but a doublestacked one like an M91....and to round things off-2 M39s....a VKT and a SAKO....all with early reciever dates stamped into the tang....well-ther're Russian....but 'Finn'd...

Johngoboom

Nice collection Mario

Johngoboom

Very Nice!!!!! I have a chance to get a Westinghouse...I hope it pans out.

Herr Mario

...boy-if you can,hop on it!!...they are a real chunk of history!!!....those,and the Remingtons too...the one I have is still in its original stock,and boy if it could only speak....to have been made here in the USA and then sent to the Czar in Mother Russia...it still bears the Russian acceptance cartouche on the buttstock...so the Ivan's used it most likely during the Revolution,,,,then later during the Winter War-or the Continuation War with the Finns it was captured by the Finns and used by them....it not only bears the SA acceptance marks,it also has the Civil Guard District #s stamped into the stock....somehow after all that time it made its way BACK here to the USA and now sits in my mini-manroom ....talk about travellin'...

Sorry im sporting wood. But i got a hand on it..
Thats some sweet stuff there guys. I love pictures.

Johngoboom

That's what I love about the old military rifles. The markings will tell you so much of the history of the weapon. Which leads the imagination to run a little wild.

Herr Mario

....no imagination required-the markings give the timeline and location....and history backs it up...
