Am I a Cruffler? Do I have the sickness?(Pic's)

[dlk51]

I was cleaning my rifles today just to make sure everything is oiled and ready for the cold months ahead. I started to lay them out next to each other and was in shock. I remember purchasing each rifle but I never knew I had this many. I started wondering am I a cruffler? Do I got the sickness?

While they were out I decided to take some picks:
top to bottom
1917 Enfield Winchester
1917 Enfield Remington
Japanese Type 99
Yugo 24/47 Mauser
M44
91/30 1927
91/30 1943
Enfield 4 mk1 South African Navy
Steyr 95
Swiss K11
M1 Carbine
M1 Garand
Remington 91/30 (sporterized I did not do it)

what's the barrel stamp on the Mosin sporter? Thinking it may have been an M91, not a 91/30. also,any interest in selling that peep sight? I've been looking for one like that for YEARS...

EDIT:Just noticed it was a Remington, and would have originally been an M91 Infantry rifle, as Remington only made mosins for the Czar's army in WWI, and only produced them from 1916 (some sources say 1915, but I've never seen one dated before 1916) to 1918. The peep sight is likely a Pacific R-1, and was popular for what were referred to as "Sterling Sporter" conversions done to Remington and New England Westinghouse Mosins left in The US after the Czar defaulted on the contract in 1917.

as to the disease, you're not too bad compared to some of us (heck, I have over 60 Mosins alone!).

YES you are a CRUFFLER... and the only cure I know of is to GIVE to some poor soul one ( or more ) of your items to diminish the urge to obtain more. I can send you my address so that you can start your road to recovery from this debilitating disease...LOL

NICE collection............................

I never knew anything about that rifle. Thanks for the info.

I bought it a few years ago when I first got interested in 91/30's for 50 bucks. I still wish it was not sporterized.


Also schr8er2000 I think it has gotten worse I bought 2 more last night. Is there a cure? I can not part with any I feel like this guy.

I think I am done. I will never purchase another Milsurp rifle again. Well except for a k98 I always wanted one of those. Maybe a sks if I find one I like but that is it. Sorry the sight is not for sale.

It's not bad until you actively engage in the act known as the "cruffle shuffle".
