Kuntzman never shot a Mosin-Nagant M-38 at dusk. It is a cannon.
The rifle my father gave me for deer hunting at 14 was an Enfield jungle carbine. I wish I still had it so I could take the silly nitwit author you reference shooting.
I shot an NRA high power match with it once as a lark. I was told not to ever bring that rifle back. That is how bad it was.
