  Edit: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApFT-pLcAXQ&amp;t=200">3:20</a> the stocks are for SKS not Mosins, I missed the cutout above the trigger guard and sling loop.

  The Thompsons were included with the tanks that we sent to the Soviets in WWII but they didn’t have any ammo for them so they just put them in storage.

  As a weapons enthusiast, this video was making my heart melt. Brand new Thompsons and Maxims in their original factory crates!!! What a treasure they have over there, and they don&apos;t have any appreciation of it! What a waste!!!

  Those Thompsons would be worth their weight in gold here in the US to collectors. Maxim guns?? Over 100 years old and in pristine shape?? After the war the whole mine should be turned into a museum. Tourists from all over would pay to see all that perfectly preserved history.

  I worked with that facility back in the 90&apos;s. &nbsp;They had 5,000 new Colt 1911A1&apos;s that Waffen Frankonia bought. &nbsp;They have thousands of P38&apos;s, Lugers, Mausers, as well as other equipment from WWII, including Indian, Harley Davidson and German WWII motorcycles. &nbsp;They also have tons of other WWII vehicles and according to the documentation I received, several ME-262 jets.

  Owning a Thompson here in the US is not only nearly impossible, but it would also cost a fortune. &nbsp;And these guys have CRATES of brand-new shipments sitting there for 80 years!

  Up until 2014 ukraine was the worlds premier surplus firearm dealer. My SKS, Mosin, tokarev pistol and SVT40 rifle all came from ukraine. paid under $300 Canadian for each one.
