I enjoyed reading it. Of course it doesn't cover *everything* but is fascinating that is if your into that kind of thing. Some history behind the weapons too. I enjoyed reading about the detail behind the Albanian version of the SKS. http://www.freeexistence.org/images/guns/ 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: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=461006600 |

It's different from the scopes being sold today on the Mosin Nagant. http://russiapedia.rt.com/files/prominent-russians/military/vasily-zaitsev/vasily-zaitsev_8-t.jpg However, in the same set is a picture of a sweetheart sniper with the scope being sold today: http://www.etoretro.ru/data/media/680/1368886391059.jpg Both from this set: http://www.google.com/search?q=Vasily+Zaytsev&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-Address&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=B-OlVLnKJcPaoATh-oLwCA&ved=0CI8BEIke&biw=1680&bih=904 or: http://tinyurl.com/kkfen64 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. |
