The Russian Mosin Nagant & Historic Military Firearms
Page is dedicated to the collecting and preservation of the rifle Mosin
and all other historic military firearms.
The popularity of the Mosin has grown over the past few
years as more and more people discover how interesting and affordable
these rifles are to collect.
The purpose of this site is to offer
the novice and advanced collector an overview of the Mosin Nagant as
well as information about cleaning and caring for them as well as
articles about collecting and shooting them. This site grew out of a
handful of photos several years ago that I posted to showcase some of
my acquisitions. Since then I have done extensive research into the
history of these rifles and have expanded the site with that
information. You will also note that there are articles posted here
from noted researchers like Terence Lapin and Karl-Heinz Wrobel. With
their help and the help of researcher/collectors like Vic Thomas, this
site has become one of the best known resources on the web for Mosin
information!
As you read through
this site, keep in mind that it has been developed and dedicated to the
idea of preserving these historic military firearms. We have been
entrusted with these historic treasures so we have a responsibility to
pass them on to future generations. So many great historic military
weapons have become "extinct" over the years because non-collectors
have approached them with an attitude that as "military surplus", they
were junk and available in boundless quantities. As a result, they used
these historic firearms for experiments in gunsmithing that were
eventually discarded. Please join us in advocating the preservation of
all historic military firearms.
I would like to offer a special word of thanks to a
person named Za Rodinu who owns and colorized many of the historic
photos used on this site. Please visit his Flicker page at
