I have been doing alot of milsurp research, and originally wanted to get a mosin nagant. But I read they do not have any sort of gas safety ports like the mauser or enfield, which are designed to vent gases away from your face in event of a failure.
Is the mosin generally a safe gun to shoot, assuming headspace checks out ok? Has anyone ever heard of a failure resulting in injury?
How about the Enfield and Mauser 98k?
I would love to get one of these old rifles but concerned about safety.
Thanks for the help.
