In 2 months you’ll be seeing those Mosin Nagants listed on Royal Tiger Imports as B Grades for $500 each
A cache of rust.
Did they find them in Russian trenches?
Almost certainly a current RuZZian arms Cache. I have seen plenty of RuZZian meat-waves armed with Mosin-Nagants. 1891. SMH
Wait until they get to Crimea and start finding cannonballs in the valley of death…😳
Auction these relics off to collectors and use the money for something valuable.
Interesting. The experts think WW1, but I somewhat disagree, I think this is a cache from the Russian Civil War, older weapons hoarded by one faction or another, possibly the Greens who were widespread in Ukraine, involving some older weapons the old government lost track of.
Ukraine was a major battleground of that war, and it makes absolute sense that local Ukrainians would gather and store whatever they could get their hands on while trying to fight for their freedom.
Russia already trying to broker a deal to outfit its latest meat assualt unit.
Russians left some high tech stuff for the sleeping cells.
In another hundred years they’ll be finding the archaic curiosity of a stack of Nagants in a higher layer of strata.
I restored an M91 Dragoon that was in a similar shape. It was only the barrel and a broken trigger but I cleaned it, re-blued it, got a new stock, and did some historical investigation on it. It was a Polish captured weapon with several stamps from the Polish army, used somewhere around 1908. Somehow my grandpa got ahold of it and it ended up in Washington State looking like it had been living in a river. The first time it fired, it shot flames out of the barrel from all the rust and dirt still embedded in the threads, even though I had thoroughly cleaned it. Now it shoots fine.
I think that a few of these guns could be restored, but they’re not worth anything.
