But the Mosin-Nagant isn't a Rifle of the United States
[edit]Actually, it is. When the Tsarist government fell, the Bolsheviks canceled all ordnance contracts with foreign companies, which included orders for Mosin-Nagant rifles made by Remington and Westinghouse. The US Army then bought these rifles and type classified them as the Model of 1916. They were issued to US and UK troops participating in the Russian Intervention from 1918 to 1920. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SEWalk (talk • contribs) 14:18, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
