    i have a lot of opinions about Mosins but I can’t deny that they’ll be around forever. They work.

    Does anyone know what make/model those Mosins are though? I mean I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of them are WW1/WW2 relics, but I’d guess a bunch of them are Type 53 Chinese Mosins too.

      They lack the bayonet and look too long to be 53s, probably just 91/30s

      Also do these opinions happen to include that the safety really loves taking bits of your flesh and that the cosmoline will never come out no matter how much you bake it? Or is it the stubborn bolt? I see YouTube videos of people with their ultra smooth mosin bolts and I wonder how they got it like that. Luck of the draw I guess.
