Because while you Can, and Do, spend far more money on better engineered and more expensive firearms, your Finnish Civil Guard Mosin-Nagant has stolen your heart and is now your go to gun in the event the balloon going up. Solid, accurate and you can buttstroke the crap out of a squad of douchebags without breaking a csweat. Just because.

Re: Just because
For me it will always be the US rifle Caliber .30 M1, but I keep an M39 in the ready rack because I tend to shoot well with them.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Re: Just because
That is a definite attribute of the WW 2 era rifles. They make excellent clubs. Butt stroke someone with an M 4 and you will end up with a bunch of parts
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

I always suspected that.....
REAL STEEL butt plates were made for smashing stuff.
Just like an attached bayonet.....was for poking holes into stuff.

Re: Just because
I don't know that I could name one rifle as my favorite, but I love to shoot my Mosin's. Unbelievable how accurate these WW2 guns are after what they've been through.
Curious enough to take it apart;
Skilled enough to put it back together;
Clever enough to hide the extra parts!

Boys, I gotta tell y'all, if I am depending on butt stroking for survival, you may as well call the funeral home. I ain't got a hell of a lot of running and gunning left either. I would just have to man the fortifications and take pot shots at the young whippersnappers till they got me. There is a good reason the Army doesn't recruit old men.
