I went to a storage auction the other day (a friend of mine owns the storage facility) and got an awesome deal!
I bought one 10×10 storage unit. The main items are-
A 5550 watt Briggs and Stratton generator (brand new, never had gas in the tank, paperwork still attached)
A "Lincoln" AC-225-S welder
An almost new Troy Bilt "Bronco" rear tine roto tiller (2 1/2' wide maybe, looks like it was used one season)
An almost new Briggs and Stratton self propelled push mower (looks like it was only used one season)
A 9 drawer stackable "Homak" tool box with tools
1 violin, 1 eucalaylee(sp), 1 banjo, 2 electric guitars, 4 acoustic guitars
And these- [Linked Image]

What can you guys tell me about the top and bottom guns? I believe the top gun is a Mosin-Nagant? Here's more pictures of the top gun- [Linked Image]

Third pic down says- New England Westinghouse Company 1915. Is that the year this particular gun was made? Am I right, is this a Mosin-Nagant?

Yep, it's a Mosin


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

The last pic has the date- 1937 and "made in USSR". Is that the date this gun was made? Any idea what this gun is?
Come on GreenCountyPete, I could use your help! grin

Looks like a Mosin with a custom stock.

The "selling price" was $1,500.00. BUT- there was also a Ruger 10/22 which I sold for $100.00, a pipe bender and a few other tools that I sold for $200.00. That $300.00 went in my pocket. The storage unit didn't cost me anything out of pocket, I am going to paint the interior of a 700 sq ft rental house as payment. He is buying the materials! The work will take me about 4 days.
He's happy, I'm VERY happy!

Thanks Catch22! My first thought was it was a Mosin too, but the barrel not being shrouded or covered had me second guessing.

The Mark II is in PERFECT condition. The Mini has a small bit of surface rust on the barrel (as you can see in the pics) and didn't come with any magazines.

Your welcome. I know enough about them to get me in trouble lol, I'm sure the gun guys will chime in and help out.

Thanks for the price. I don't know what guns are worth but it sounds like you got a great deal.

Did you know what was in there prior to bidding on the storage unit? Around here, usually the winning bidder that gets the storage unit, doesn't see what's in there ; until they open the storage unit up after the auction is over with.

Looks to me like regardless of the guns, you got a great deal LOL

I don't collect them little cars any more but my youngest grand son cannot go out of a store or any ones home with out latching on to one or a handful !!
I'd be very happy to unload you of a bunch of them for a surprise every time he comes to visit Grand Pa !!
