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 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
