Hey I just wanted to say that I really like these weapons posts you do (both here and in c/history). I know you don't get a ton of engagement on them so I wanted to let you know that they're appreciated.

:pavlichenko: looks like she has a Mosin here but apparently mostly used the SVT later

i had no idea this gun existed, and i am somewhat of a history buff. i knew the mosin was the primary rifle for the ussr but i had no idea they developed a semi-auto rifle but didn't have the productive capacity to equip their military with it.

edit: but i'm one of those history buffs who doesn't play ww2 video games
