Mosin-Nagant Sniper

A Mosin-Nagant 91/30 configured for sniper use. Earlier models come with the PE scope, and later models the PU (the scope seen in Enemy at the Gates and Call of Duty).

Nowadays, these are hard to come by. Even if you do find one, they are about $400-$500+, which is 5-10 times more than a standard Mosin-Nagant.

Vasili Zaitsev's weapon of choice was the Mosin-Nagant sniper.

Mosin-Nagant

A rifle originally designed in Imperial Russia in 1891. It saw many updates and configurations and the Model 91/30 (1891/1930) was Soviet Russia's standard infantry weapon. It uses the oldest military cartridge still used today, the 7.62x54mmR, which is also used in the Dragunov Sniper Rifle and PKM machine gun.

It is also the rifle used by the Soviet forces in the game Call of Duty and the movie Enemy at the Gates.

This weapon was manufactured in 13 countries, either making their own variant, borrowing from Soviet Russia, or making them for export. Mosin-Nagants are available today for about $60-$150

Mosrite

A brand of guitars back in the '50s and '60s. Currently, reproductions are made by Fillmore-Mosrite of Japan. Could be considered the Rolls-Royce of guitars. Played by the Ventures (early '60s surf-rock), Jimi Hendrix, The Ramones, and also by Fred "Sonic" Smith and Kurt Cobian occasionally.

When I was 20 I went to a Ramones concert in Hollywood. Johnny's Mosrite is the rockingest guitar I've ever heard!
