mosin nagant field name in history during ww2

[sloporsche]

The germans fielded a hunting rifle,the US a target rifle ,the brits a battle rifle......what was the mosin nagant noted for ? aside from a rifle for the common conscript

 

[Raven]

The Mosin Nagant was the very first military issue bolt action in 1891 and it's 7.62x54R chambering is the longest continually serving military rifle cartridge in history. Combat tested successfully in every climate from frozen tundra to steamy muddy jungles... it is the AK-47 of bolt actions. It is a diehard design. My very first centerfire bolt action rifle I ever owned was a Polish M44 Mosin Nagant carbine. I have had WW1 and WW2 Russian, a rare M38, Hungarian, Romanian, Chinese, a Vietnam bring back Chinese, Finland, a Russian sniper, you name it... my favorites were the M39's from Finland, with true two stage match triggers, a more conventional grip on the stock and screw adjustable sights, with a knife style bayonet. I should have never sold that bayonet! They are worth more than the rifle. I even had one of the M39's that were brought back from their famous shipwreck dive. The Fins won an Olympics with their Mosins. Big huge fan

I was a big huge fan when they were all $90, buy 5 for $60 each. Nowadays I'm not such a big huge fan. I cashed out to the dealers when they doubled and tripled in price and I never thought for a minute they would ever double in price again, but they sure have! That being said I'm sure they'll double in price again, too

A Farmer's Rifle.

Which to see your general wartime common one for over $200 even makes me laugh, I was buying them for $50 and even a year ago got two in trade for an AR upper I had nothing in. I won't pay the exorbitant prices some people have on these unless they come with a good cut off the drugs they are smoking.

Seems history was much more kinder ,complimentary to the others when nick naming them . kinda sad

Look what most of Imperial Russia was when that rifle was designed.

Anything they designed was for quantity, not complexity.

what do you know about the Mauser K98 FN?

what do you know about the Mauser K98 FN?

I've owned many Mausers, and several clones with Mauser claw extractors. For clones I prefer the US M1917. For true Mausers I prefer the Spanish FR8 in 7.62 NATO. Their 16" barrels swing and point sooooo much better, and the bird cage flash hider and first class modern bayonets are awesome. Most were arsenal remanufactered, rebarreled. Stored and sold surplus, the like-new barrels and long sight radius peep sights are very accurate.

The absolute coolest Mausers I've ever owned were World War Two surplus Nazi Mausers in 7.62 NATO. They were stamped with the Star of David after Israel bought them surplus for the Six Day War and then joined NATO. One of them had the rare winter trigger guard. My favorite trigger guard. I sold them to Cabela's Gun Library when they just became worth too much to use as shooters

So as not to derail the thread...
Let's get back to Russian guns
Try and find yourself some of the Russian remanufactured WW2 Mausers

the shot out ones with corroded bores are nicknamed “Moist Nuggets” other than that they’re fine surplus rifles.
