Russian 91/30 question

The Germans believed Mosins were inferior to AR-15s?

Wow. Didn't know that one.

The point is, going up against an operator armed with a tactical carbine is tantamount to suicide if all you have is a Nagant rifle. JMHO.

YMMV.

Ok, so you aren't familiar with the weapons employed by the Germans on the Russian front. How about the Vietnam Conflict? The M16 was deployed there for the majority of that little action. You do know who won, right? Maybe we could have really kicked their butt if we'd only had more rails, or lights, or sideways mounted sights.
It really is the soldier, not the weapon.

The thing you ought to keep in mind about a Mosin is, even if you get one that doesn't shoot all that great, it's an important part of WWII history. Over 26 million Russians died defending their homeland. The odds are good that there are 2 or 3 dead soldiers behind any given Mosin. Even more if it's a mis-match. If the Russians hadn't kept Hitler busy things might have turned out very differently.

I still have a unopened 300 round Spam Can of Chinese 7.62x54 Brass Cased ammo I brought with me from california 25 years ago.
The other 5 cans were shot up or pulled apart over the years and the powder and bullets reused in reloadable cases, and the primed cases used for cast lead bullet loads.
I bought all that Ammo from Federal Ordanance before they became Brickley Trading company in El Monte Calif. and then went out of business. it wasnt far from wher I worked at the time.
I thought there was going to be a short supply back them, but only importation of the Chinese ammo came to pass.
Oh, Did I mention , back then I was paying $45.00 for 600 rounds.
Dang inflation.
