The Mosin enjoys a rich history from its beginnings in 1891 right up to today. It is a history shrouded in politics, intrigue and terror as much as it was a symbol of patriotism and the struggle against tyranny. This rifle has seen the fall of governments and events that shaped world history and is still very much a part of the events that shape our world today. This page does not celebrate these events but rather the remarkable engineering and imagination that created this rifle and the brave intent of those who used it.

The mission of this website and the forums is to provide information and facts about the Mosin rifle  and to encourage the preservation of this and all the other historic firearms. We have been given a rare and unique opportunity to become the caretakers of these artifacts of history so that future generations can learn and enjoy them.

This website has been in existence since 1996 and is still growing. There have been many contributors through the years and I have strived to give credit where credit is due.
