I would think, from an Engineering stand point, that he WOULD want a Mosin. Just for the dynamics of how, engineeringly speaking, it even works and lasts as long as it does compared to other bolt action rifles. rofl rofl

I collected mousers, then Enfields FR8’s and Mosins. I love the history and doing all the research. I got a great score at the auction but then went to the gun show. There were only two mosins available but they must’ve been gold lined because they were $975 and $875 the latter being a 1927 early Tula. It was nice, but not $875 nice! Prices are definitely going up so i look at it as an investment

I collect them the same as I do all military surplus. I enjoy the history of them.  I enjoy reading and doing research about them.  The Mosin-Nagant in particular has so many variations and used in so many different conflicts it's astonishing.  My favorite of the 3 is the Enfield. I love the smooth action,  and it's just a nice looking rifle.

The former cheap price of the rifle and ammo initially was the main seller for me. At one time I had about a dozen Mosins, 4 Enfields, 2 Springfields and a VZ24. They made good barter fodder. Got rid of most Monsins but 2 Fin 91/30s, an M44 and an M39. PAX
