Very interesting! Don't know how I missed that. I didn't know about
Mosin Nagants being made by Westinghouse either.

I may have to buy a Mosin Nagant sniper version. Looking at this one:

autographed by Vasily Zaytsev it would be really valuable. ;-)

Who knows? Have to buy it first and find out.

I'm tempting you John...

Damn, Tim. The Schmidt-Rubens are out of stock. Crap!

BTW, here's a picture of Zaytsev. Note the scope on his rifle. It's
different from the scopes being sold today on the Mosin Nagant.

However, in the same set is a picture of a sweetheart sniper with the
scope being sold today:

Interesting.

That one Rubin is available, but most other models are out it seems.

Concerning Russian snipers, most were women it seems due to the men
doing the heavy grunt work on the front.


So if I buy the sniper version of the Mosin Nagant I'll be buying a
'girlie gun'?

It'll be ok so long as Slammer doesn't see your dick. 😃

If you happen to stumble across a Karl Gustav
Swedish Mauser 1898 model, cherry condition, for a few hundred dollars, let
me know. Don't tell Slammer.

Looks like I was too late: "This listing has expired. You will no
longer be able to contact the seller."

However, I did find this on that site:
