The Mosin Nagant was used by the US and Russia and other countries in World War 1. It is not used now.
Use a gun blue book for an accurate answer; however a Mosin-Nagant model 1891 in full military dress (in good shape) might average around $300.00. It's a decent rifle, just hasn't ever caught on in the US.
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).
In the US, military surplus 7.62x54R ammo (used in the M/N rifles) is about as cheap a centerfire cartridge a you will find. However, for a FIRST rifle, I would suggest a .22 LR for anyone.
I think you got your years a bit crossed. You're probably thinking of the Mosin-Nagant M1891 rifle.
Depends upon which nationality and which war. The '03 Springfield was last used by the US during the Korean War. The US Marines used the Winchester model 70 with a Unertl scope & the US Army used the M14 (XM21) with a Redfield scope in the Viet War. The NVA used a Mosin-Nagant model 1891.
the best weapons used in WWII are, in my opinion, the; Russian Mosin-Nagant rifle US Thompson M1 submachine gun German Mauser Kar98k rifle German MP40 submachine gun
US - M1 Garand / M1903 Springfield UK - Lee Enfield Variants up the wazoo USSR - Mosin Nagant Variants up the wazoo AXIS: Germany - Kar98K Japan - Arisaka Variants up the wazoo
Depends on the side, the US it was the M1 Garand rifle, the Germans favored the Kar98, the British the Lee-Enfield, the Russians issued the Mosin-Nagant, and the Japanese standard was the Arisaka. Most of these are bolt action except the Garand which was semi-automatic.
German: Mauser Kar98 and MP40 Submachine gun US: Springfield 1903 and Thompson. Britain: Lee Enfield and Sten Mark 2 Russia: Mosin-Nagant and PPSh40
They included rifles, pistols and revolvers, shotgun, machine guns and cannon. From a rifle standpoint, the US used 30-06 rifles (the 1903 Springfield and the P17 Enfield) Britain used the SMLE in .303, Germany used the 8mm Mauser, France used the 8mm Lebel, and Russia used the 91/30 Mosin-Nagant.
Depending on exact model and condition anywhere from $25 to $7000 There were many different models of Mosin Nagant made, some rarer than others. A rusted M91/30 is not worth much. A Finnish cavalry carbine is rare and pricey. A generic Russian 91/30 in good condition is currently selling for between $80 and $110 in the US. A HUGE number of those were released from Russian military storage, and placed on the market for sale to civilians. There are several models of Mosin-Nagant rifle, made or modified by several manufacturers. The exact value depends on specifics... manufacturer, model, arsenal it was manufactured at, rare and distinct markings, overall condition, etc. You could be looking at anywhere from $70 to over $1000, depending on those specifics.
For which nation? There were different countries with different rifles. US- 1903 or 1903A3 rifle, and the 1917 rifle Britain- SMLE Germany- 8mm Mauser 98 Russia- 91/30 Mosin-Nagant
