The Official Soviet Mosin-Nagant Rifle Manual
This is an excellent resource for cleaning, disassembling, repairing and firing the Russian rifles collectively known as the 'Mosin Nagant' rifles. This includes the most common Model 1891/30 Rifle as well as the Model 1938 and Model 1944 Carbines. I would have to say that it is not the best source, since there are websites which show illustrated step by step instructions for disassembly, and YouTube has a large assortment of videos showing folks doing all sorts of things to their Mosin Nagant rifles. For more information, I strongly recommend the website 7.62x54r.net. For those of you who want to check out things on YouTube, just search 'Mosin Nagant.'
Still, this is an excellent reference for my library of service manuals. It is good to have the original Russian handbook available for times when I need to look something up.
This book is NOT in any way, shape, or form a dissertation on the combat history of the Mosin Nagant. Major Gebhardt, the translator of this book, recommends "The Mosin-Nagant Rifle," by Terence W. Lapin for those who are interested. I look forward to reading that book, because the history of the Mosin Nagant is tied up in the history of Pre-Revolution Russia, The Winter War, World War II, and the Continuation War, as well as the conflicts of other countries under the communist umbrella. The Mosin Nagant rifle made me aware of the difficult situation experienced by Finland during the Second World War.
I strongly recommend this book for those who plan on shooting or servicing a World War II surplus Mosin Nagant rifle.

Excellent Manual!
This book is a wonderful tool for anyone owning any Mosin-Nagant rifle or carbine. It is a complete, comprehensive guide, far beyond a takedown manual or the like. It covers aspects such as inspection, assembly, disassembly, cleaning, troubleshooting, firing stances, firing suggestions, balistics profile and more.
A must have for anyone who wants to work on their Mosin-Nagant or just for some interesting historical technical reading on one of the most enduring firearms in history.
I am the proud owner of several firearms including a Mosin-Nagant Model 1891 Dragoon 1925r Hex Receiver Izzy, Model 1893 1938 Re-Chamber to 8mm Turkish Mauser and 1916 Lee-Enfield SMLE Mk III. This is, by far, the best manual I have on ANY of my weapons.Read full review...

An accurate description/title of the book's contents.
I am very happy with this book. It has an abundance of relevant information on the whole series of Mosin-Nagant rifles and how the Soviet Army instructed its troops to use them effectively. The large size of the book itself and the clear translation of the manual are a plus all the way around. As a source book for those interested in these rifles, operator/collector/historian, I readily recommend this book. And it is reasonably priced as well.Read full review...
la mejor inversion para disfrutar de tu MosinNagant
Queria un manual completo para mis MosinNagant.
Este manual es el mejor que he visto.
Hay otros libros que se centran en el coleccionismo, osea, identificacion de los modelos y accesorios originales, pero este es su manual de uso y mantenimiento de la epoca soviet, por sus dibujos que muestran los ejemplos ( Caza I-16) el original es previo a la 2 guerra mundial.Read full review...
