I note that Tank Models sells camouflaged Mosin rifles. Since the Soviets stopped using these after WW2, I wonder who used these, and when.

First is Korea and Vietnam war. Then both Afgan wars. And also a lot of countries are still using reliable and powerful well made gun))) For you information: Russian military security forces(ВОХР(VOHR))- who defending bridges, tunnels, artillery arsenals... They are still armed with Mosin rifles, Nagant revolvers, PPShs, TTs and AK(old version).

I know this is somewhat off topic but, unless you want a scoped variant I would not use the Tank Model Mosin Nagants as is. With the exception of the M27rv (A rare Finnish variant issued mostly to cavalry units) the bolt handle on all the non-scoped Mosin Nagants were straight, not curved. As far as I know the only company that has managed to get this feature correct is Stalingrad. Though such an error should be correctable and Stalingrad as far as I can tell do not appear to sell their weapons individually. Just a heads up more then anything.
