I know it’s an unpopular opinion given current circumstances, but I’ve always been a huge nerd about Russia. The history, the geography, the music, etc. And as an American, I’ve always found it fascinating how U.S.-Russian relations have fluctuated over time. We’ve gone from allies, to enemies, to frenemies. This doesn’t mean I support Z or Putin, of course. What are you a nerd about?
Without looking it up I believe you’re right. I think it was something like Finland didn’t make any Mosin receivers but instead only issued captured then upgraded ones.
Also I want to say some American soldiers got issued Mosins to fight in Russia during the revolution against the Reds.

Interesting about us issued mosins. Those weird contract gun hybrid mix up things like the Webleys in .45 ACP are fun to read about. Anyway thanks for all the great posts on the forgotten weapons community.
I’m just being the change I want to see. And I’m always glad to hear people enjoy what I share or to see people share their own knowledge.
Also if you haven’t already looked into it the T48 might be up your alley.
