I present a fully engraved Mosin Nagant

Ricci.Wright

First one I have ever seen. The guy did some nice work but I wish he had started with a 03 or a K98.

That's probably the nicest Mosin Nagant on the planet.

Is there a picture with the whole rifle?  Great pics, but it would be nice to see the whole thing one shot.

+1. The photos in all of Ricci's auctions are always magnificent, but nearly all of them are taken at an extreme angle which gives no sense of balance to the firearm. Locust Fork also uses a lot of angled shots, but mixes in photos of the firearm laying flat which (IMO) gives a better perspective.

female dog, female dog, female dog. No just kidding, you guys are right. I got lazy cause it's so hot outside and just photoed it here at my desk. I will take some full shots in the morning before it gets hot.

I have a Finnish Mosin Nagant.  I like the rifle but it is weird.  Bizarro safety.   Rather rough bolt.
Weird to do so much custom work on a Mosin, it is lipstick on a pig.

Some folks really like them and some of them shoot well. I just read about one shooting 2 1/2" groups at 300 yards.

nononsense

perhaps the engraver was mastering his craft and didn’t want to risk butchering something special.

I have always thought there was a reason for everything. Seeing this makes me question that premise. Bob

I gave you a LOL, but decided to make it a "promote". No one knows what that actually means, but you deserved it.

Thank you kind sir. I hope it doesn't put me in a higher tax bracket.🤔 Bob

I agree with WarBirds.

I don't know much about engraving but that looks like a fantastic job. My only criticism, besides the M-N part, is the bolt handle looks either over-bent or bent in the wrong place.
