Book Reviews of The Soviet Mosin-Nagant Manual
Book Review: Essential Reading for the Mosin-Nagant Collector
Summary: 5 Stars
Terence Lapin has done a wonderful job in the translation of this, the original Mosin-Nagant manual as issued to Soviet troops in the WW2 and early post-war era. Lapin has tried to translate the text as faithfully as possible, and sometimes it is interesting to note the kind of language that greeted the young Red soldier as he learned about how to keep his Mosin-Nagant rifle in working order. (For instance, "Removal of the M44 bayonet, even when fully stripped, is FORBIDDEN!")In addition to information regarding the parts of the rifle, disassembly and proper functioning, there are parts devoted to proper sighting, tips on proper shooting, cleaning, and troubleshooting. It is a thorough guide that allows someone who may have initially been entirely unfamiliar to the weapon get to know it inside and out. Of course, being a military manual, that is precisely what it was intended to do. But even a veteran collector already familiar with the Mosin-Nagant rifle will find tips and information new to him in this book.
Although Lapin is not the author, merely the translator, I felt he did a great job and deserves the five star rating.

The book covers the use, functioning, care, sighting, and many other aspects of the M1891/30 Mosin-Nagant rifle, the Mosin sniper rifle, and the M1938- and M1944 carbines.Conventional Books
