Remember some of the Mujahedeens during the Soviet occasion of Afghanistan still using Mosin 91/30s before they got AK 47s in large numbers . I saw a pic in Time magazine in 1988s showing these afghan fighters using them while riding on camels. It was like the pic of Lawrence of Arabia , and him armed with Lee Enfield No 1 rifle. Pretty cool.
Those 1920s Mosin Nagants have so much history. Those were the years that our greatest generation of Gi soldiers were growing up and facing the depression years in 1929. Once they entered their young adult years the war broke out in Europe and Asia. Then rest was history.
