The Mosin-Nagant Rifle is the first book ever published in English about the Mosin-Nagant rifle and the breadth and depth of its information and its presentation has set a standard that other authors will find extremely difficult to meet in the future. It not only provides a history of the rifle's development and use from the late 1880s to the 1970s, but provides a part- by-part description of differences between models and changes made during its long production life in countries around the world, including the United States. A long list of codes, markings and other stamps are also provided top aid in identifying when the rifle was made and when and where it was used.
