Ever wonder what make & model rifle all those Armenian freedom fighters ("fedayees" as they were called) were sporting in those old photographs. The most likely culprit is a Russian made rifle called "Mosin-Nagant Model 1891" (click on the photos to enlarge them). If you are in to specifications, here yah go:
2. Action: Manual operation, rotating bolt
3. Length: 1306 mm (1799 mm with bayonet)
4. weight: 4.22 kg (4.6 kg with bayonet)
5. Rounds: 5 in integral magazine
6. Muzzle velocity: 800 m/s
7. Effective range: 500 meters (now that's pretty cool)
