I think even in SF you can still own a Moisin.

It's either refinished or a Finn. That's not shellac.

91/30s are more evil when you take the shellac off.

She could at LEAST turn the safety on!! Well... maybe not. She might honestly lack the physical strength.

Good to see she at least has the action open and her finger off the trigger.
That rifle looks longer than she is.

I'd like to spray that from the hip without reloading.

It's at least somewhat ironic that neo-Nazis would have in their possesion one of the rifles which was instrumental in defeating the Third Reich.

If it's a Finnish Mosin Nagant, it is likely that it was used to shoot at Soviet soldiers.

I didn't even know that was a girl.

Its an old MN 91, pre 91/30. Notice the older style rear sight and the extreem legenth. Cant tell if its a fin or not. Ironic that they still follow Nazi gun laws, but dont allow Nazi information.

Can't you just hear that green striped police vehicle rushing back to the station with the dangerous weapons secured in the back, European style sireen blazing...

"nyih nyah, nyih nyah, nyih nyah, nyih nyah......."

I just zoomed in on the image. Looks like a 91/30. The rear sight is actually missing, but the sight base looks smooth, not stepped like an 1891. It does have a hex reciever, though. I can also see a steel "lozenge" insert in the stock under her right hand. Also, spring-type bands on the stock instead of screw-retained. I just realized it's gotta be a refinished stock. The Finns didn't use a globe front sight on their 91/30s, they used a blade.

You can have a 91/30-length 1891, btw. The 91/30 is just an updated Dragoon, and the Cossack is the same rifle without a bayonet.

I feel a whole lot safer now!
