That would be a collection, a chevy pickup with the matching gun in the back window on a gun rack!! I think we are on to something!! {Note to self: Need more time and money!!}
Holy crap! That's blinding.
It's crazy to think such beautifully carved, crafted & finished chunks of birch may have been done by kulaks, wreckers and other gulag denizens.
It's crazier to think you've only been at the Russian game for...what...just a little over a year now?

I just looked up old posts from the other forum, I bought my first Russian on April 14, 2013 that happened to be the 53 Izhevsk as-issued off of armslist for $550 shipped, funny thing is I seen the ad and it said Izhevsk for sale with a single crappy pic, I bought it not knowing it was a 53 or that is was as-issued......That was what started the russian obsession!!
Nice collection!
My Chinese collection is starting to look like that! rofl
If it wasn't so damn pretty it would be obscene and illegal! That is one fine collection so the rest of us can just go home! lol
