i have one of the doggone ole moisins with 1917 and the imperial eagle stamped on the reciever.
the bore is in wonderful condition but man...they sure feel awkward to operate. my brother had two of the carbines that he could not get to hit a basketball sized target at 25 yds from a prone position. they're magnificently simple and rugged as an anvil but from what i've seen of them, the trade-off was accuracy. ivan prefers dependability, ruggedness, something the average peasant could use effeciently and quantity over accuracy. i suppose with lots of application, one of these rifles could make a fine sporting piece but i think i'd still prefer my Mauser...
