Welcome
To The Information Page
The Russian
Mosin Nagant & Historic Military Firearms Page is dedicated to
the collecting and preservation of the rifle Mosin and all other
historic military firearms.
The popularity
of the Mosin has grown over the past few years as more and more people
discover how interesting and affordable these rifles are to collect.
The purpose of
this site is to offer the novice and advanced collector an overview of
the Mosin Nagant as well as information about cleaning and caring for
them as well as articles about collecting and shooting them. This site
grew out of a handful of photos several years ago that I posted to
showcase some of my acquisitions. Since then I have done extensive
research into the history of these rifles and have expanded the site
with that information. You will also note that there are articles
posted here from noted researchers like Terence Lapin and Karl-Heinz
Wrobel. With their help and the help of researcher/collectors like Vic
Thomas, this site has become one of the best known resources on the web
for Mosin information!
As you read
through this site, keep in mind that it has been developed and
dedicated to the idea of preserving these historic military firearms.
We have been entrusted with these historic treasures so we have a
responsibility to pass them on to future generations. So many great
historic military weapons have become "extinct" over the years because
non-collectors have approached them with an attitude that as "military
surplus", they were junk and available in boundless quantities. As a
result, they used these historic firearms for experiments in
gunsmithing that were eventually discarded. Please join us in
advocating the preservation of all historic military firearms.
