Mosin Nagant Sniper info..

[bigduke6]

Erno86,

You mention Vasily Zaitsev , looking at pics of him he used a nagant with PE scope and a side rail mount (similar to the german LSR mount ) would this be a rarer sniper variation than the usual PU mounted rifles.

UPDATED, I,ve answered my own question with a bit of reading on the forum you suggested very interesting but could not find you peice on Vasily, any chance you post a link?

Duel of the master snipers, by Vasily Zaitsev, page l -76k

If link does not work: Search on the web --- Vasily Zaitsev --- Go to page 6 ---- Duel of the Master Snipers, by Vasily Zaitsev, page 1

You can link on ATS {Above Top Secret} ---- Go to Search Engine, and type in --- Duel of the Master Snipers ---- or just go to page 5

jjjxir8 --- It seems my Mosin sniper has a Black-light effect that you talked about, but it seems to have some tiger-striping on it; but not much. How did the Russian gunmakers produce this effect on the wood? Maybe.... buy burning some of the wood stock with a power saw?


I found that the link only works partially. But... you can still link on when you go to the upper right hand corner of the ATS page and click the "SEARCH" soft key ---- and type in: Duel of the Master Snipers

...

It's just the natural figure of the birch on the rifles that I have. No burning or anything like that. Just beautiful wood.
