the model 1891 is my personal favorite. I like the long, elegant rifles from the 1890's time frame. that also includes the m24's, as they are basically just modified m1891's.
not necessarily the most accurate, or best handling, but by far my favorite.
y'all have a good day, Keith

M24's for me 'cause my wife is Finnish... ;-)

 

Ditto what Keith said. M91's are my favorite. You can see it is the direct descendant of muskets and black-powder cartridge rifles. The lines, length and features (especially the earliest M1891's) just intrigue me. Plus, the M1891 represents the start of a LONG line of Mosin Nagant variations that saw service across much of the world, and continue to serve even today.

 

My favorite Mosin-Nagant rifle is the M91/38, I like the older rifle markings combined with the handiness of a carbine. I've also got an interest in Czech firearms (Nazi modified Vz-24's are my favorite Mausers!), so the Czech connection is there for me as well...

 

Although I like the history and style of the M91, I do like my M91/38 with the carbine length, the history and the Czech trigger.

 

M91's - They just have class.

Pahtu.

 

91/30 practical , reliable and (so far) reasonably priced

I'm with you...

 

The Polish 91/98/25.
It's what the kids would look like if a Russian 91 rifle married a German Kar98k.
I love the mix and match quality to it, all the struck out and restamped serial mumbers, and the way the Mauser front band and bayonet lug look on it. The end result is a handy 98k length short rifle, in 8mm Mauser, well made, that's at the same time something of an odd duck and which always attracts attention.

 

Recently picked up a Finnish, M-91 in great condition. By far the best long range shooter I've got, and the wood is very attractive.

 

Dragoons!

 

M39. Big, heavy, very pretty wood...and its Finn. Plus the bayonets are cool, too.

The M91 is the most esthetically pleasing. I like the long legs.

It's design speaks history.

I love the M91's especialy the Long Elegant Finnish Ladies. Tops in my book!

The M38's along with the straight stocked M39's rank right up there.

My favorite shooters are 91/30's though. Go figure.

Only one .....The M1891 (more so of the Finnish persuasion).

My unissued polish m-44.The prettiest of all my Mosins

 

I am inclined to agree.....

 

My M91's are my favorite Mosin. Cool rifle with a long history. Nice steady shooters too.

 

I join the chorus of the M-91 fans.. especially, pre 1898 ones... Some of my best shooters have been well worn, beat up, been there done that antique M-91's... BeSwift

 

M-91. Long rifle, long bayonet, plain and simply intimidating.

 

M28/30. I like the history, development and design of the rifle. The connection to and the history of the Finnish Civil Guard and SAKO.

 

M39. Like trainsktg said, its big, heavy (wouldn't call mine pretty though) and its a Finn.

 

My M-39 is my favorite tool for gettn' the job done

 

Hey John,

This is a tough choice. I really like the rare Mosin carbines, but doubt any will fall in my lap unless I get very lucky. So I can really only choose from what I have. M28. Reason...it reminds me of my favorite rifle, M1903. The first time I shouldered an '03 at a show, felt like the rifle was made for me, and the M28 is very close in balance, fit and accuracy. I have two fine straight stocked M39s and a nice SCW Tula that balances like a dream, but my M28 has so much character and probable battle use.

Just one......OK, The M28 although lately I've been diggin' the long M91 rifles. I still like the M28 the best.

91/30

 

Model 1891 Three-Line Cossack Rifle

 

JPS,
To paraphrase the Joker: Where do you get those wonderful toys?

Personally, I think that mine is the M-39 as it is the zenith of the design.

My first Mosin-Nagant was a 91/30. Later I went through an M44 phase, an M38 phase, an M39 phase, and an M91 phase, but my all time favorite is the 91/30. It's a well-balanced rifle, accurate, and durable as all heck.

 

Finn M91

Of all my rifles it is my favorite to shoot
