    You are welcome, I love this kind of stuff... I am printing a few out for the gun room! I have the walls plastered in flags, exploded gun diagrams, pics like these, etc. It's very....busy. But I like it!

    Definitely colorized. Many of those are iconic photos. Some of the first ones appear to feature Vasily Zaytsev ... who's the definition of "BADASS" in the Russian dictionary. He did more than his share in depopulating the German army.

    Very cool pics, thanks for posting. It's interesting that few, if any, of the guns pictured, appear to have the "original" shellac finish. Most look oiled to me.

    That and the battle wear on these rifles is amazing! Simply amazing, look at the muzzle and even the exposed breach, so worn they almost looked chromed. Now I would love to get my hands on a Mosin like that. It would make a great wall hanger just to pull off the wall and oil with a babies diaper :shocked: You guys suck. I hate you all. every last one of you make me realize how much more I want but don't have and then when I think its over it pulls me back.




    You all know you all are one of the major reasons my wife hates me ...:D

    As the poster above said, I am quite envious of your "gun room" . I am lucky to have a corner in the house where nothing else quite literally would fit...

    I am glad you guys liked the pics as much as I hoped you would!

    I am blessed for what I have, and to have the extra room to have my own "gun room", but I also recently got divorced, so that's the reason for the extra room in the house :)
    And, it's a rental house.

    Good, and bad at the same time....

    :)

    On the link you sent, about 3/4s of the way down the page there is a female Russian soldier holding what looks to me to be a 1903 complete with us style sling.

    A friend used to say that divorce was the only diet that is guaranteed to permanently rid you of over 100 pounds of unwanted fat ... and in the long run, it's one of the cheapest.
