Alright, i know this forum isn't just political, but it is also dedicated to the red army. Of course, im a fan of the red army and thats primarily why im in this forum. Its odd how i don't participate in military discussions here but i go to several other military forums anyway.
Brief overview of the rifle
This topic is about the most mass produced bolt action rifle in WW2. It fires 7.62x54mm bullets and is made mostly in Tula and izhvesk factories. Some say it is a bit of an ugly rifle but i like its shape and it drips with history
AIM: To own a mosin nagant which is moderatly accurate in shooting, but also not too expensive.
Ok, here is the situation... I just sent in my firearm licence application form and damn it took a while to sign because i needed to get some high ranking members of society writing statutory comments and such. Im torn between two mosin nagants, one that is from another state (New South Wales, Sydney) and there is a more expensive and more better in aspects of quality finnish mosin. Lawrence Ordnance which is the store in Sydney, sells loads of Russian Mosin Nagants (Izhvesk) that have been refurbished after WW2 for $360. Whats even more surprising is that it comes with a bayonet, sling and a cleaning kit. Im a bit suspicious about this rifle because its rather cheap. Likely to be an inaccurate rifle when shooting. Here is the link to the rifle(s) in sydney.

As for the better finnish one. It is a Mosin M1921. I believe its a possible finnish capture during the revolution and has a shorter barrel, so its possibly made for cavalry troops. The Dealer is charging this rifle for over $450 and informs me that if i wish to hit targets accurately, i should get this mosin. It looks very nice and a close friend of mine dealed with this guy before, getting an accurate Lee-enifled/Longbranch.
Im confused with which one i should go for and if i had a job now, it would be the finnish one. However i wish for a russian mosin nagant, but the problem is that if the russian mosin is faulty, it would be hard to return it because i got this from another state. I also like to ask whether if this rifle (Mosin Nagants in general) is a good rifle anyway. Is it reliable and accurate in general?
