We have some range time with the M91/59 'KGB' Mosin-Nagant

IV8888 gets some fireballs out of the rarely seen Cold War-era M91/59, a shortened carbine version of the Soviet Mosin-Nagant rifle.

The Mosin was the standard Russo-Soviet and, after two World Wars, Warsaw Pact infantry rifle that was only grudgingly replaced after 1945 by the SKS and AK series guns.

No matter the story behind them, they are pretty neat little brush guns in a serious caliber.
