This video details the Austro-Hungarian Army's modification of captured Russian Mosin Nagant rifles during WWI. These rifles were rechambered for the 8x50mm Rimmed cartridge, primarily for rear-echelon troops. The process involved cutting new chambers and recalibrating sights, often without re-barreling, leading to squeeze-boring of bullets. Several companies, including OEWG and the main Austrian artillery workshop (AF), performed these conversions.

This entry details the Finnish M28 Mosin-Nagant, often called the 'Ski Trooper' rifle, as presented by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons. It covers the rifle's development as an improvement over the Russian M91 for the Finnish Civil Guard, its unique features like the double sling slots and early windage-adjustable sights, and its complex international history involving purchases from surplus markets, rebuilding by SAKO with SIG barrels, and eventual import into the US. The M28 is highlighted as a rare variant with only about 33,000 produced.
