I just wanted to post my $0.02 on the Mosin/rifle table Stradawhovious has for sale in the Marketplace here. If you are considering buying this piece, you will NOT be disappointed. I met Strad last week as he was the intermediary for an ammo purchase I made when I couldn't connect with the seller. First let me say that Strad is a class act all the way. Great guy, friendly as they come, salt of the earth guy. And what a collection of Mosin's.
But that table...its a work of military art. It is beautiful. The pictures do not do it justice at all. When he posted the pics, I recalled his thread when he was building it and thought it was such a cool idea. Once I saw he was selling it, after I picked my jaw off the floor and changed underwear from excitement, lol, I happened to be on the phone with my wife. I had every intention of snapping it up immediately. See the fact i have nowhere to put it is of no concern to me. IT'S COOL AS HELL! So I intended to grab it, space or not. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) I was on the phone with my wife, and told her of my plan. She made it known in no uncertain terms that if I brought it home, it would be my new bedroom...in the garage.
Long story short...I am quite sad I cannot snap this table up. But anyone who is considering it, DO IT. It is cool as hell. It doesn't look at all like someone just slapped some gun supports in a box. This thing is professionally done, at least it sure looks like it. The way the guns load, the presentation, the color, the glass top...it is a true gun enthusiasts masterpiece.
