Mosin Nagant / Re: 1960 Vietnam bring back T53
« on: January 21, 2014, 06:24:25 am »
Well, I actually stumbled upon an apparent bring-back yesterday. Late Australian veteran is said to have returned with three carbines, after serving with the training group in early 60s.
No documentation of course, but the seller was stripping these rifles out for spare parts and selling the parts individually, gave this to me dirt cheap, so I have no reason not to believe his story.

Looks to be a 1945 Izhevsk in what may be a T53 stock.

Unfortunately Australian servicemen were not permitted to take weapons home as war trophys at any point during the Vietnam War or WW2 for that matter. That doesn't mean it 'didn't happen', but the only 'bring-backs' of any kind that I know of are Lugers from Germany, two brought back by Australian war correspondents.

Mosin Nagant / Greetings from Australia! Here are a few of my Mosins.

Hey everybody! Just signed up to the forum, and in usual fashion, I'll introduce myself by showing off some of my Mosins  ;D Unfortunately a 'collection' over here would barely scratch the surface of what is available to you guys in the states, thanks to our regulations and insane prices, but I'm quite happy to own what I do, it's more than most. I do have a few more Mosins, with a fair few more on the way, as well as other military rifles, but the camera ran out of juice  :P
Anyway, here are a few pics!

I'll start with my most recent, the 53' Polish Wz-44




Next is my personal favorite, the Finn-captured 1941 ,Izhevsk 91/30, with matching numbers, bar the bolt.





Followed by the Finn-captured Tula ,1921 M91, matching receiver, bolt and barrel, other parts are un-serialed.






Next, a Finnish M91, my first rifle. Built on a 1907 Izhevsk Serb-contract barrel and Westinghouse receiver.





I also own two Izhevsk PU snipers, dated 1942 and 1947, a Romanian M44 dated 1955, a refurbed Tula 91/30 dated 1932, a Finn-captured Tula dated 1935 (Recently sold but still in my possession), a matching Finn-captured Tula 91/30 dated 1939, a Finnish M39 dated 1941 and a Spanish-civil-war 91/30 dated 1936, some of these are on there way from the states at the moment.

Thanks for taking a look!
