Mosin Nagant Rifle
Mosin Nagant Rifle
The Mosin Nagant rifle describes a series of rifles that served Russia (and later as the Soviet Union) and its client states for many years. The first model which was issued in 1891 for the Imperial Russian Army. It is one of the longest serving bolt action rifles in history, being issued until the 1940s (and up to the 1960s in third world client nations of the USSR). The original M1891 rifle was updated in 1930, thus the new model was designated the M91/30, which was the most widely distributed bolt action rifle of the Red Army. There was a carbine version known as the M38 issued during World War II. The M44 carbine saw very little action in WWII, from early 1945 to the end, not enough made it to the front lines to appear in most of the combat photography of World War II. The M44 and M91/30 saw battle in the hands of North Korean Soldiers in 1950-53 and in the hands of the Viet Cong and PAVN during the 1960s.
Note: It was the first firearm to chamber the supreme champion of longest serving firearm calibers in history, the venerable 7.62x54R cartridge, which is still issued and used in armies to this day.
The Mosin Nagant is used by the following actors in the following movies and television shows:

M39 Finnish Mosin-Nagant Rifle
The M39 is a Finnish variation of the Russian Mosin-Nagant rifle. The first models were issued with straight grips. Later models, however, had a curved pistol grip. The main way to tell the difference between a Russian Mosin-Nagant and an M39 is that the M39 has a different stock design and a different front sight.
NOTE: Except for some components, such as the bolt, trigger, and magazine, the parts of these rifles are NOT interchangable with Russian models.
The M39 Rifle is used by the following actors in the following movies and television shows:
Film
Used by Finnish soldiers in Tuntematon Sotilas The Unknown Soldier(both 1955 and 1985 versions)
Used by Finnish soldiers in Ambush (Rukajärven tie)
Used by Finnish soldiers in Hemingway & Gellhorn (2012)
