Hello,
I'm Josh Smith from Smith-Sights.
Very few boards are dedicated solely to the Mosin-Nagant, and fewer still are dedicated to the upkeep, repair, and modifications of this rifle.
Though generally thought of as a substandard rifle when compared to its contemporaries, a closer examination reveals a rifle that's not quite finished to Western standards.
The Finns knew this, and they set about correcting it. The wonderful M39 general-issue rifle resulted, and was one of the very few of that era to have a precision requirement of around one minute-of-angle. The M39 Mosin, to be issued, was required to shoot a maximum of 1.3 MOA to be issued. Most did much better.
Special-purpose Mosins such as the M28-76 and TKIV 85 followed.
