What is best Mosin-Nagant?
Finnish capture Mosin Nagants are regarded as being the most well built of all Mosins. These rifles were taken during the Winter war and modified to meet Finnish standards resulting in one of the most accurate and reliable rifles of the era.
Do bayonets affect accuracy?
Not really. It is true that bayonets change the point of impact for the rifle (that is if it is attached to the barrel, and not on some other part of the rifle), but the actual group size is not affected.
Will Mosin Nagants increase in value?
Certain Mosin Nagants can be much more valuable than the run-of-the-mill, gun show rifle. Although the odds of your old Mosin Nagant being worth a significant amount of money are very low, there is a small chance that your specific rifle is worth at least a little more than the average.

What makes the Mosin-Nagant Type 53 rifle unique?

What is the quality of a Mosin rifle?
Quality on Mosins ranges widely. During wartime, machining was typically very rough and fast, and stock work can look like it was done by cousin Cletus just after he finished making up (and testing) a batch of moonshine. One positive I can have on these rifles is that they were definitely designed with durability in mind.
