I am somewhat of a military history nerd, and I finaly had to bite on this historic Russian WWII rifle. It is a 1942 wartime production Mosin Nagant 91/30, chambered in 7.62x54r. I couldnt pass up the deal on this piece of history, I got the rifle, bayonet, sling, and two period ammo puches for $85. I must add that I purchased this rifle for collection purposes ONLY. I have taken it to the range once just to test it out, but from now on will be locked up(in a safe) with no ammuniton. Again this is a magnificent piece of WWII history and I am so excited to have added it to my collection.
If anyone is interested in the history of this rifle, do a quick search for Mosin Nagant history. Unbelieveable what this modle has been through!
Any other collectors with this rifle? or anyone interested in seeing it in action at the range, I will be posting it on my youtube page soon.
