I was waiting to be asked that..... does no one trust anyone anymore??!!

But yes, I do..... an article by a man who knows an awful lot about Mosins, and has written a book or two on the subject.....

The Last Dragoon Rifle

Anyone who is interested in Mosins should be fully conversant with the entire site! It is no doubt the best reference available in English.
