"The SKS Carbine has a long and varied history of use throughout the world. And it has found a home in North America where it has become one of the best-selling rifles in the United States and Canada. Manufactured in eight countries, SKS Carbines are currently available to the collector from Albania, China, Romania, the Soviet Union (pre-1994), and Yugoslavia. SKS Carbines from East Germany, North Korea and North Vietnam are quite rare and are usually war trophies from the War in Vietnam."--
The formidable Mosin-Nagant rifle has been used globally for 120 years and remains in use. This fully illustrated study is ideal for those interested in modern arms and military sniping.

Building on the success of his best-selling The U.S. Army in the West, 1870-1880:Uniforms, Arms, and Equipment, Douglas C. McChristian here presents a two-volume comprehensive account of the evolution of military arms and equipment during the years 1880–1892. The volumes are set against the backdrop of the final decade of the Indian campaigns—a key period of transition in United States military history. In Volume 2, he focuses on weapons and other accouterments, recounting in detail the army’s quest to find a repeating rifle that would serve the needs of both cavalry and infantry across the plains. Drawing on extensive research in public and private collections throughout the United States and lavishly illustrated with more than four hundred color and black-and-white illustrations, these volumes will serve as invaluable references for collectors, curators, and students of militaria and of the frontier era.
