Based on personal experience, they won’t even know what it is.

nobody gives a fuck about you OP

normalfags will think its cool
make sure you get the m38 specifically because it will give you a lot of attention, and a lot of frustration from boomers not wanting a cannon on the range

A friend of mine has a circumcized Mosin because their stock is too small for the barrel length, I call it the Schlomsin

Dubs of truth. My range is 100% nothing but ARs.
Last time I took my K31 and someone asked "is that a mauser?"

>>65082124
>he isn't LARPmaxxing
ngmi

>>65082155
god I hate normalfags so much. What kind of troglodyte doesn't know what a Mosin is?

>>65082124
Literally no one at the range worth knowing will care what gun you're shooting. Anon, if you want a Mosin, get a Mosin. They are very fun and cool.

Just tell them you got a good deal on it and its ammo. You did, right?

>>65082124
/k/ was built on mosins

>>65082124
They would have made fun of you for it 15 years ago. Now all of us are adults and will continue the tradition.

It was my first rifle and a disheveled old milsurp weirdo noticed me walking out of the gun show with it and then sold me ammo wrapped up in a paper bag. It worked and didn't explode. Thank you disheveled old gun show weirdo.

>They would have made fun of you for it 15 years ago
Would they have? 15 years ago I brought mine to a range when I was like 20 and the ancient grey hair fudd RSOs there were just happy someone under the age of 40 had an interest in shooting old war rifles, they loved it.
Granted it was basically me and them there and that was it but still.

>>65082601
Yeah the old guys like young guys who are like them. The old guys with milsurp war rifles and shortwave radio transmitters are actually cool guys.

I went to shoot IPSC minirifle with my 1022. They didnt know what it was LMAO

They are out of fashion now.
Years ago they were the symbol of a poorfag who didn't give a shit, someone who wanted cheap trash to treat like cheap trash. Today they're the symbol of someone who got into arms collecting because of reddit memes. They were respectable when they were cheap. Now their price far exceeds their practical value.

>>but but but I'm into the *historical* value
It's a common shitstick bro. You can find much more interesting old guns for less money, or better yet save up for something that's more special. If you're an autistic collector who needs one to fill a hole in his Great War collection (or they just happen to be the perfect gun to float your boat) then you wouldn't be asking, you'd already have one because it doesn't matter what other people's opinions of the gun are. Collections need holes filled even the gun were worse than it is, and if it's all about your personal taste you don't need to justify that to anyone else.

>>65082155
Based and true. Old guy asked me if my M1 Garand was an M14. Not terribly far off by the table was covered in ammo clips.

>>65082629
Most ham operators these days are gatekeeping niggerfaggots, especially those with milsurp.

>is it a LARP
Sure but who cares
>is it worth
100%
If you want extra attention you'll get a carbine-length flavor of Mosin such as an M38 or M44. Those get loud and make huge fireballs. Fuckin love it.
