Mosin Nagant M1891r

Created by Sergei Mosin... yadda yadda yadda. 7.62x54r... yadda yadda yadda. This was the first design on a weapon that lasted almost 100 years on this earth in military duty alone... not to mention collecting. This is the 1891 version. The first version. I'm making the other versions then i'm going to put them all down at once. This rifle design lasted until 1930 where it was upgraded to be the 91/30 (which will be made)... but next is the 1907 carbine (i think thats what it is). Then onto the 91/30. This is a Russian rifle for those of you who dont know (but how can you not? :P)

29 wars... And some of you may be wondering. "The iraq war!? WHATTTT!?"... yes this is used in modern day combat by insurgents. They use any weapon possible. And relics are very common. They are easy to get and cheap... especially mosins. I'd like to buy a mosin that was used in modern combat. But this is most commonly found in its sniper rifle form. Not many would like to buy a rifle when they can buy an AK for the same price (in iraq its like the same price).
