So I got my first Mosin at the gun show over the weekend. I tell you what, I am much more impressed with these things than I thought I would be. I figured it would pale in comparison to my Mauser, but it really hasn't. Not yet anyway, but I haven't shot it yet.
Anyway, I bought the accessory pack along with it, with the sling, ammo pouch, and cleaning/takedown tools.
Pretty much exactly what cheaperthandirt had: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/MGR330-1.html
I asked him if the sling was original or reproduction, and he said original. He also said the rifle I was buying was a Tula, though I knew it wasn't. Well I didn't really care at the time, so I bought the accessory pack anyway, but I got kind of curious as to when the sling was made, and who it was made for... It seems kind of new-ish. Not faded or worn, but definitely old school build style.
So are these packs repros or milsurp, and if milsurp, what era?
