Can you explain the picture to me? I know Mosin have existed before communism. But the bottom uniform hat looks communist. If so. Isn't the pic a little contradictory? Since catholicism was banned by communists?

Hats predate communism, anon.
Pretty much everything the early Commies had was repurposed Tsarist swag.

Actually talked to the owner about trading for that, but deal feel through, sucks that I still see it posted to remind me of a missed opportunity

I'm like 99% sure that's a deactivated rifle; look at the receiver ring just forward of the bolt rib and you can see right through it to the bolt locking lug. Also an M91/30 is incorrect for Tzarist-era.

The cockade is a dead give away as an Imperial Russian/White Guard hat
Also that style of hat dates back possibly to the Crimean war

Dude ...no.

And the cross is orthodox. And the religion wasn't quite banned, just persecuted. Russian Orthodox Church eventually turned out to become what can rather fairly be characterised as "a branch of KGB". Pic related is the General Secretary of the Communist Party drinking vodka with the Patriarch of the Orthodox Church.

looks all the world like leonid brezhnev
best. eyebrows. ever.
>>32175551
Yeah, there's a reason this T-62 mod is called "Brezhnev's eyebrows", kek.
Just got these + bayonet ammo pouch cleaning kit and 5 stripper clips for 275. How'd I do?
>>32175678
Look at the wheel spacing, the cannon (fume extractor and LRF), and the shape of the turret. That's a T-55M

Dear fucking God that wood gave me some wood of my own.

Original finish was absolutely fucked up, bore and crown are perfect.

How does one surpress a Mosin without having to cut it up?

That's a pretty good price for a rifle and a spam can.
>>32177887
Thread the barrel and attach a qd break that is compatible with your can. :-)
>>32177982
He said rifle plus ammo pouch not a spam can
>also 275 for rifle and 440 rds
>pretty good
That would be fucking best deal I've ever seen not "pretty good"
