Review by Anthony Winning:

This manual, available in English for the first time, covers:

  • disassembly and assembly
  • cleaning and lubricating
  • firing for zero at the specified zeroing range

Described in detail are all the steps, procedures and criteria that will ensure proper and safe function of the rifle or carbine. Also included are several data tables describing the ballistic performance of the 148-grain type-1908 projectile and the weight and length of the basic rifle and carbines in various configurations. For those interested in the sniper version of this rifle, an appendix describes both the PE and PU scopes. This is the ultimate source for Mosin-Nagant owners.
