Laminated Mosin - Which one to keep?

[LandmarkFirearms]

Hello guys, I just bought a bunch on Laminated Mosin Nagats and I am only going to keep one for personal collection.
So my questions is which one should I keep?

The first one looks to be a triple dated Hex Tula Laminated. 1930/47 MO/53
It has all matching serial numbers, bore looks great and wood is pretty good.

The second one looks to be a double dated Hex Laminated USSR Izhevsk Arsenal 1925r MO/53. It also has all matching serial numbers, bore looks great and wood is good to go.

Thanks any and all help is great.

Thanks!

The 1925 has my vote.

Die in a fire.

J/K, nice rifles. Tough choice.

 

[Alphabrew]

I'd keep them both.

Either keep them both, or sell them both to me!!! actually, if I didn't have to finance a trip to Japan, I would love to buy whichever you decide to let go.

1925

And there's nothing wrong with saying nanny nanny boo boo look what I have while simultaneously laughing at our misfurtune.

Better than prattling on about choices and selling and blah blah blah.

Again,

Thanks for the ideas guys. I have a few other double dated MN. Is a triple date rare at all? I have yet to see one and I have gone through 200+ MN over the last two years.
Thanks.

I've seen the triples before, but those two are both worth keeping.

Unless you happen to need the money selling one of them off, I think it's a worthy investment to hold on to both.

Ditto; both if you can, keep the 1925 if you cannot.

I would pick the one with the best bore...which will likely be the best shooter.

Great Karma I'm in.......762.................

Me too. I'm in 54r here.

I would not let either go. Just my .02

I would not let either go. Just my .02

Totally agree - I sold a Mosin last year and was depressed for days!

 

[LandmarkFirearms]

I think I am going to keep the 25r. It looks better and is cleaner as well.

 

[yellowsled]

can i have the other one?

 

[scorpio]

Mine.... Mine.... Mine.... I so need a mosin!

 

[Alphabrew]

I think I am going to keep the 25r. It looks better and is cleaner as well.

How much for the other one?

 

[LandmarkFirearms]

Never been good with prices. Anyone able to give a FAIR market price?
Not the BS Free or $100.

Thanks.
