How many Mosins are still in Russia?

One of these days, Putin will step on his own crank and disappear into the fog and the night. In Russia, as in the US, the real decisions are made by the business interest, who control the political interests. As soon as Putin cuts into the bottom line of the rich and powerful, he will be gone. It is the way the Russians work. It will be a toss-up as to whether he is replaced by someone more like Brezhnev or more like Kim. We have had a roller coaster ride since WWII with relations with the Russians. One day it will return to a more normal relationship and the businessmen and women will be looking for more obsolete military junk to sell to us. It is only a matter of time; how much time is the unknown.

Actually that won't happen to Putin. He is not only the richest man in Russia he is the richest man in the world. Estimated net worth is $200B or about the same as Ortega, Slim, and Gates combined.

Being wealthy means he will probably have a nice funeral, it doesn't make him immune to sudden illnesses such as lead poisoning. Ask the Czar.

True, but right now he is the shot caller. Of course if he pisses off enough people that can change. My point was he is part of the elite unlike Obama who is just a puppet.

Being wealthy and powerful, not to mention ruthless didn't help Chicago's north side Mob Boss Dean O'Banion after he pissed off Johnny Torrio over a brewery raid. Pappa had him whacked in his own flower shop November 1924, and that led to five years of killing that ended with the St. Valentine's Day Massacre in 1929. I am sure many Russians would find themselves living in interesting times should Putin have an.....accident.

My guess is they maintain enough M91/30's to arm the battalion that marches in the WWII Victory Day parade in May every year. Whether or not the weapons are in firing condition is anybody's guess.

I wonder if they have any museums similar to the Springfield armory here...surely the millitary museums dedicated to the greatness of the red army hold a fair deal of mosins.

Yes there is, the Tula Weapons Museum in Oblast, Russia. https://www.google.com/search?q=tula+mu ... thd2m25JgM
