Between the two of them, you get the lovely 1891 Mosin-Nagant, which the Russians cannot produce in nearly the numbers that they want them.
Are we still on this?
So guess who they contract some of the first ones out to?
The fucking French.
No, they ended up contracting out some of them to the French, which apparently they're still floating around.
I had never seen one before until I saw pictures of it.
A short Remington made a few batches of them.
What kind of bow do you have?
Garand.
Don't call me that.
That's awesome.
Porsche.
What's your max range?
Anyway, Nagant's not happy.
Sues him.
That's how he gets his name in.
The Russians pay him a settlement.
Put his name on the rifle and say, here you go.
Which, if the man could look forward in time and realize how much the Mosin-Nagant has been disparaged and called a garbage rod, do you think he'd want his name attached to it?
Yeah, it doesn't help.
