By Peter C. Schechter A couple of years ago, I read an article here by Jeremy S. describing his conversion of a useless Mosin-Nagant rifle and turning it into something truly fun. More recently, when it came time to create some space in my safe, one of the guns that was slated for disposal one way […]
I had been feeling bad about my poor Mosin. There it was, sitting under a bunk bed in the cabin. All but forgotten and slowly rusting away. It had probably been two years since it was last fired. I know I’m not alone here – there are maybe 4,000,000 Mosin Nagants in the U.S.. Hard […]
We all know Mosin-Nagants are cheap and powerful. They’re also fairly ugly, not terribly comfortable, and only hold five rounds. ProMag’s new Archangel stock can remedy those issues and turn your battered old mil-surp boomstick into a fancy M44 scout rifle or 91/30 sniper ‘stick’ . . .

Many of us already own one or five of them, and we’ve penned so many articles about the Czar’s last rifle that (contrary to my normal OCD linking habits) I’m not even going to bother trying to […]
Here at TTAG, we love the lowly Mosin-Nagant. I waxed historical about it last September, and Ralph just taught you all you need to know about its care, grooming and feeding. From buttplate to bayonet, the cheap and ugly Russian utters a sturdy Proletariat challenge: Mock me at your peril, capitalist pig! Today’s object of […]
