your opinions on reference materials
I recently purchased "The Mosin Nagant Rifle" by Terence W. Lapin and Doug Bowsers' "Rifles Of The White Death"..When I buy firearms I usually like to get the best reference materials out there on the subject, and I was wondering on your opinions on these two books(I haven't received Doug Bowsers book yet), but Terence Lapins book seems to be a good reference on the subject, are there any other "must have " books out there covering the Mosin Nagants various models..
Thanks for your opinions

Yeah!!...what Vic said!!...your BEST resource is right here, followed by our sister site at:I recently purchased "The Mosin Nagant Rifle" by Terence W.

The Lapin book, even though it has been edited a bunch, still has some inconsistencies and improper information...so, be aware of that, and check any questions or inconsistencies here on the forum...all-in-all, however, it is still a useful reference nonetheless...
The Bowser book is a really good, sound reference on Finnish Mosins and tends to be my go-to when looking for quick Finn info...
I agree that www.mosinnagant.net and www.7.6sx54r.net are the two best sites for information.
As far as reference books, my favorite is "Drei Linien Die Gewehre Mosin-Nagant" By Karl-Heinz Wrobel. Even if you do not read German, many of the photographs are self-explanatory. Herr KH also runs weekly quizzes here, and may help with translation, if you ask politely.

Fortunately I do read German. but I can't seem to find that particular book anywhere for sale online, I'll continue searching for it..thanks for the tip..as for the websites listed, they are a great go to source, but sometimes when I'm at work or away from my computer and I can't access them, a book is the best choice for me,(like if I'm looking at Mosins at a gun show or a pawn shop and I need a quick reference for ex.).
Thanks again guys..
Here is where I got mine: Amazon Germany:
http://www.amazon.de/Drei-Linien-Mo...2316/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331125657&sr=8-1
Volume one is not available although I have seen 1 or 2 for sale here on Gunboards WTS forum (but I wasn't fast enough.)

Gebhardt's translation of the Mosin Nagant manual is another good reference piece you might want to pick up.
