Of course, it was the gun that beat back the German hordes during World War II in the hands of average Soviet infantry soldiers. In short, the rifle has had plenty of time to build a pretty incredible history.

As we shall see, there are few other guns as rich in history, performance and practically-especially for the price. But even at the princely sums of $300 or $400, the rifle is still worth every penny. The basement on the Mosin-Nagant is three, some places four times what it was a few years ago.
