Let me open by saying I do not wish to change anybody's mind about these guns. What I do wonder is: Is it just me, or was the whole Mosin Nagant (and to a lesser extent SKS) thing just a phase that some people go through and get over? Again I recognize that some people do and will continue to love these things and more power to them.
I've joined a conservation club and one sees all sorts of ARs, I shot a pre-64 Winchester 94, a bunch of nice neat little .22 rifles and my time worn 1940 Izhvek 91/30 just kind of faded for me.
Add to that the fact that these were the guns pointed at us for quite some time there and sometime I sort of feel a little weird about it these days. Makes me wish I had bought one of the several decent 1903's (some well-done choppers, others original) that I passed over because "I don't need one of those, got a Mosin".
Just a thought.
