I'll be a little boring, but these are two different rifles - the Mosin and the Nagant. This story is described in the article (in Russian, but it is clear from the pictures). By a strange coincidence, I met with the author today, bought a die with a micrometer head from him, he makes them.

Yes, I am aware. There is often confusion about them.

It was the War Ministry that started it, it bought both models based on the results of the tender, for reasons not entirely clear, but only Mosin went into service. By the way, the butt of these rifles is from the Berdan-2 rifle.

Didn’t Nagant bring a lawsuit (and lost) regarding a patent on a part or parts of the action in the Mosin?
 

World's funniest joke: The winning joke:​

Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator says, "Calm down. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence; then a gun shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says, "OK, now what?"

1. The idea of placing the feeder on the store door and opening it down. 2. The method of filling the magazine by lowering the cartridges from the clip with your finger and the actual grooves for the clip in the receiver. 3. The cartridge clip itself, which serves to fill the magazine. (According to Nagan, the clip was invented by him six months earlier than by Mauser).

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx
