for 12,000$ I was expecting this to be THE mosin that Stalin held in that one clip

Everytime I watch Sam's videos I need to duct tape my head back together from all the information! Awesome video, thanks for the info!

Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge on these Mosins!!

The detail you went into is outstanding, Sam. Thank You !

Absolutely fascinating information.Thank you SO much for sharing your knowledge with us!

Thank you big Sam we love your videos

Good info, Sam. Thanks. Careful with them skeeters. West Nile reported in Longmont and Broomfield.

Great video Big Sam Thank for sharing your knowledge 👍

Excellent video!! You always bring the knowledge 😂!!

I recently realized that I was collecting Finnish Mosins cause I had so many variants last count around 18 of them anyway when a M27rv came on sale on gun brokers I sucked it up and bought it cause I knew I would never see another in my lifetime. I do need to pick up some M24 I'm weak on those. Thought I had one cause of the stepped barrel but it turned out to be a M27 with a replacement barrel. I really appreciate this channel learning a lot about these rifles.

Extraordinary knowledge , served easy to chew , by a real big n smart guy wearing a cool as fxxx shirt. Stay legend.

Very good video Big Sam. Lots of really good information. Thanks for sharing your knowledge… as you are aware, I have a PEM that is very suspicious… even though it is all numbers matching… I believe is a complete fake. Yet a VERY nice shooter.

I am loving your videos, you have a new subscriber. Do you know who I could go to to have my Mosin looked at for evaluation?

Well I have 6 of them I wish I had bought the odd case or two 5 years ago.

I'm sad that many rare guns were likely destroyed within the last couple decades by ignorant Bubba. Any military weapon that is altered for anything other than necessary repairs is a disrespect to its history and those who's lives may have once depended on it.

12K for a Mosin ? Like them to blast away with Spam Can ammo.. Have many expensive Milsurp's but not for that much....

Are u in south fork that background looks familiar

I surely hope that the Buyer didn't lose 11,500.00 on a counterfeit rifle. Honey We need to take out a 2nd Mortgage loan .lol I have a Tula 1937 M91/30 . I will have to give it a look over.

Hey big sam.. I have a tula 91/30 hex receiver with the c. n. Marking. It is a 1936 year model. What do you think? And; Where in colorado do you live? Looks like my old stompin grounds around morrison colo.

If You like to shoot old military rifles have the head spacing checked when bolt and receiver serial number’s do not match. It is not in the best interest of a military to neglect doing this when rebuilding from salvaged rifles in a armory. Importers who sell on the US market are notorious for slapping guns together from parts and those guns can be problematic unless a competent gunsmith makes the adjustment that will involve threading the barrel in or out a little in the receiver and that will effect sight orientation on the barrel. The cost of doing that can be more than the gun is worth do it is a labor and expense of love that will make the rifle more valuable / useable. When guns are destroyed it makes those left more valuable and those who possess them targets of those who covet what was once abundant. Years ago I purchased a old Hex from a salvage dealer that is in good shape . Back then about year 2000 I paid about $130.00 for a rifle that to Me was really only worth about $80.00. I paid $130.00 because I wanted it and had the luxury of affording it. I also saw the future but never imagined that I should have been a investment advisor. When things go bad what is the most useful and therefore valuable thing you can have. Fine painting’s and artwork will have no value or use. Precious metals to heavy and attention grabbing and You most likely will only have a very fancy piece of ass wipe to show for ownership of it.Also remember that whenever You make something extremely valuable by paying a ransome for it you may lose that investment in some unfortunate accident or fire. The cost of Insuring those kinds of items can become very burdensome for the average person and the rich who can afford them may loose it all to pillaging mobs or drug addicted heirs

I bought a PEM years ago , from the Shotgun news. Never fired it, appears refurbished, matching #. It can't be real. For some reason I remember a rumor that these scopes were assembled by Khales? using parts? Any thoughts?

Was it Simo's rifle lol

Mine was made in 1939 🤗

Where are you seeing Mosins for $300 today? I’m seeing $500 and up…

Fascinating stuff. Really appreciate all your information focused on this rifle type. I own many milsurp rifles and the history of all platforms are so rich and interesting. Good to see a content creator pick their choice of rifle and keep sharing their knowledge. Much of the information you share, I know, but you keep bringing out new facts that I did not.. Plus, it's always good to see another source confirm what one has learned on their own.
