A couple of shots of my friends shooting my Soviet Mosin-Nagant M1891/31 (1943 dated) rifle. The bayonet is attached for historical purposes, as these rifles were intended to be fired with them fixed. Indeed the bayonet was supposed to attached at all times except during maintenance. These rifles were sighted with the bayonets attached so shooting them without the bayonet attached is said to adversely affect accuracy at longer ranges (due to barrel harmonics I suppose) but I haven't really had much chances to test whether this is true or not.
