That’s no joke about the rifles. I had a mauser 1898 that these were copied from.

Really? Odd, considering the Mosin-Nagant rifle was developed in 1891.

Agreed, my 1891 Mauser Argentino has one of the smoothest, nicest fitting actions I have. Throw a good scope on it and in non-urban combat I would probably take that over my AK TBH.

Mosin Nagant has nothing to do with the ‘98 Mauser. Do some research.

“ I had a mauser 1898 that these were copied from.”
The Mauser 1898 and its predecessors the 1895, 1893, 1891. Are a different design bolt action then the Mosin-Nagant. The Mosin is based on the Mannlicher style bolt action. Similar to the Dutch Mannlicher and Italian Carcano.

No, a Mosin Nagant was not a copy of a Mauser 98. Not even close. If anything it is a descendant of a French Lebel. But Nagants are an 1891 design and shares no features with the contemporary Mausers such as a Mauser 1891.
