"Collectors Forum" - All Mosin Nagant are discussed here. Also the Russian and "Finnish capture" SVT38 and SVT40. This is an excellent place for new Mosin owners to ask questions. We have some of the best experts here looking forward to your questions. If you post a Mosin sniper rifle here, we may or may not move it to the sniper forum.
Preservation forum, please no altered military surplus rifles or discussions on altering in this forum. No sportsters. Please read the rules at the top of each forum
Wow, unbelievable how technology is changing our lives. The 3D printer has now provided new technologies to reproduce firearms. This is true here, offered for the first time is a 3D printed Mosin Nagant PU Sniper.
Not April Fool but true I am afraid. Why do you think the government wants to take control of the internet so badly? It is not fiction or a joke but actually exists right now not in the future. Top secret weapons are being guarded extra well because of it. And no I have not gone off my rocker. Bill
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

I thought it might be real until I saw the asking price though the finished product would not be fireable. 3D printed working AR receivers are nothing new and there are collectors of model firearms so there could be a market for 3D printed firearms. Frankly I'd be a little surprised if there was not a company making 3D firearms for prop guns. Did you see the ad for the Italian company selling 3D printed ammo?
The reaction from the member of this forum to a 3D printed Mosin would probably be very similar to Danny Koker's in the series "Counting Cars," when one of his guys explained how the process could be used to replicate brake light covers for a classic car, potentially saving $1,000+. Danny listened politely and gave every appearance that he was going to agree, then said, "Okay. Great. Now go get me the real thing," and walked away.

Yeah I saw that one and was quite amused by his reaction! These 3D rifles are being made in plastic for full size model reproduction at the present time and it would be a easy job to convert to metal and set the program in a CNC machine and make metal Mosins or anything else one wanted to make. Technology has left many laughing people long behind I am afraid and frankly worry about what they will replicate next? Bill

Going forward, I think that this will be an issue, though probably not while I'm still around. Look at how many nubes are still taken in by Mitchell's Mausers. As a corollary, expertise will be even more at a premium.
