Mosin-Nagant firearms get their name from the designers - Sergei Ivanovich Mosin who was a Colonel in the Russian Army and Emile & Leon Nagant who were Belgian weapon designers.
The Imperial Russian Army developed the Mosin Nagant Rifle between 1882 and 1891. In 1891 Russia officially adopted the Mosin Nagant Rifle. The rifle was designed by Sergei Mosin from Russia and Leon Nagant from Belgium. This is where the name of the rifle comes from.

If youre asking in WWII they used the Mosin-Nagant.
Yes. The rear sight blade on a Mosin-Nagant rifle is in metric increments. Russia and the Soviet Union never used the Imperial system, nor did any country which manufactured the Mosin-Nagant under license from the Soviet Union (Mosin-Nagant rifles were manufactured in the US from 1915 - 1917 under contract from the Russian Empire prior to the Bolshevik Revolution, but those also had sights measured in metric intervals. Rifles were also manufactured for the Russian Empire in France, as well).
It all depends on the stock, year, type, condition, and if it has an original scope. But %90 of all the Mosin Nagant rifles you see on the market are $60.00 to $200.00. Some of the more rare can go to $400.00.
