Mr Wiliams......it was Enemy at the Gates that spiked My Mosin fascination, and inho "Band of Brothers" box set is the nest depiction of Our M1's Ever. Very Emotional amd Historical Flick. U See ALL the Best Garands, Carbines, Thompsons, and the Paratrooper. Carbines.
I have to agree with you on "Band of Brothers". The way "To Hell and Back" ends with the still pic of the M1 just made it an icon to me. I do like me some Mosins and hope to build a sniper clone some day. Tell my M44 hi for me btw..... Still haven't seen a better looking one...
