This is a good thread that is well worth resurrecting, a few
weeks ago I saw a Mosin Nagant on gunbroker, I told a friend
about it and Art "Texraid" kindly sent me a pdf of the Linden article which I shared with my friend.

My friend bought it after the seller sent him a very detailed
and positive description of the bore condition. I can't help but
wonder if the person who made the rifle was influenced by
the Alvin Linden article. I notice that they added a safety by
the trigger.

Anyway, here is a link to the rifle

Reminton Mosin Nagant

I hope to see it in the next couple of weeks.
