#1 Nice bore, but it's not a Mosin Nagant.

#2 Mods and helpers of the spelling and grammatically impaired, please correct my spelling of 'insanity'.

#3 Current Bid $1,475.00 ??? Insanity indeed, if that's not a typo. Gaak!

Mixed parts Mauser, worth perhaps $200-$300 if a decent shooter.

#4 For that kind of money you can get a Model 700, a Dakota, a Weatherby, etc., all in easy to find, easy to handload calibers, more accurate, and all set up to take a scope.

Collector only. For $1500? I could get two workmanlike used Rugers in that shape for that much. Pfft.

#5 I'm just glad SN-5396 finally turned up. That young IDF private who left it leaning against a cedar can rest easier now. :-)

#7 I have my collector's item. Nobody's taking my lovely International Harvester Garand til I've done 'thrust to the chest' with the bayonet followed by firing it til it goes *PING* into their chest. I got mine from the DCM back when it was not graded and $169. It's NICE.:D
