Tiny Bit of Gun Snark

So today I stopped by an out-of-state gun store. They had some surplus rifles in the floor racks, both Mausers and Mosins.

As lore has it, the Mosin-Nagant is famous for being a rifle that has fought against itself. (Russian Civil War, Winter War and Continuation War)

In the two great wars of the first half of the 20th Century, the Mauser was the rifle of choice of the loser.

On a tangentially related note, are you familiar with the table comparing the AK, the AR, and the Mosin-Nagant?

I've seen it, thanks.
