Welcome
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
