Thanks for all the great info on good rifles. I just bought my first collector's piece. It is a Mosin-Nagant 1891 model. Bit this one is rarer than most, as it was made in America at New England Westinghouse, in 1915. It's a beauty and shoots great. No wonder so many people swear by them

You are precisely correct, gripper. For if you do not have the will to control the situation, (the will to win, if you will), you stand no chance. The desire to prevail goes a long way in compensating for another's slightly better skill set.

A bit of strength is also a valued aid in these locking techniques, as the maneuver to get them into proper locking position sometimes requires a bit of manipulation . In lieu of strength, or in conjunction with, speed of the technique is of significant value, in order to add the element of...

What if you are not in position for that? It is not always an alternative.:uhoh: Yes, there are a multitude of thumb and joint-locking measures.

Sounds like you are the kind of dude not too many would want to get up close and personal with! I was thinking Muay Thai when you were talking about knee strikes; as you know they use those and elbow strikes almost exclusively. Another thing I love are body sweeps, which is great for close...

All in all, there are many possibilities, but in my estimation, you took exactly the right course by preparing yourself without going overboard or being too menacing. He should have known his actions might seem suspicious, so I don't think he was "asking for directions" or a bottle of booze...

I agree about the knee shots. In my style, we generally use pressure points if we have already been placed in a compromising position. For example, the attacker grabs you in a right or left arm headlock and bends your body horizontally to the ground, as if to take you down or pound your face...

Pressure points are great, but generally work on passive or surprised victims. I have a favorite: tilting the neck backwards, so as to cause the recipient to lose his/her center of gravity. Of course, being in shape and 6-foot, 190 pounds, I feel confident in a close confrontation, with elbow...

Please tell me about the Peter the Great Mosin and why it is so named. Where was this manufactured?

I am sorry...forgot to mention it is a New England Westinghouse version.

Apparently, the 1915 edition of this rifle made it to Russia, as it was 2 years before the overthrow of the tsar. I just picked up a 1915 model 1891. The stock and bore are in very good condition and the finish is lovely. On the left side of the hexagonal carriage is a little square...

Hi guys and gals, I am from the SC Lowcountry. I purchased my first collector's piece today (hopefully) at a gun show in Savannah, where I met some interesting and knowledgeable people. I bought a very well preserved Mosin-Nagant 1891 model, made in 1915. I hope to find out more about it and...
