DD214 is all you need.

Like everybody says, keep the Mosins and get the Garand. Find a spot in that safe for a garand and you won't be sorry. Even if you have to move a mosin somewhere else it is worth it. One of my daughters, my son-in-law, and I were having a fun day shooting a variety of rifles. 30-30 winchester, ar-15, winchester m70 in 7mm mag, 22 rimfire, etc. She was shooting well (she always does) when she mentioned she had never shot my Garand. Well, I that was easy to fix. The great thing was that of everything she shot that day, she shot the Garand best (even though she was more familiar with the ar-15). Made old dad SMILE.

Keep the Mosins, add a Garand to the collection.

Mosin 91/59s are becoming extremely rare, and while not yet uber valuable are getting more valuable than they were a few years ago.

WRT the PU Sniper, is it original or a repro?

http://classicarms.us/firearms.htm still has m-91's cheap. They also have a heavy barrel + receiver package I am curious about. Has anybody had any experience with such a build? With the barrel and receiver package plus a montecarlo stock what else would be needed to make a complete heavy barrel mossin without sacraficing an existing one?
