hello all,
I have noticed a huge increase in the number of inquiries about these rifles lately and am kind of puzzled as to why? yes they are cheap and they shoot cheap ammo but that has been the case for years, it's not like it's ever been a well guarded secret. as far as milsurps go they are far from the nicest. the finish is rough, the actions are stiff, they are a pain to load(at least both of mine are) and the short, little, straight bolt handles do not lend themselves to aiding in the necessary leverage to easily cycle the bolt. every single vintage military bolt action rifle that I have picked up has been superior to any mosin nagant in at least half of the areas that I have listed. please to not mistake this thread for a guy ranting and bashing your precious gun and hoping to get a rise out of you, I really am curious, just what makes the mosin nagant so interesting?
