It will be a cautionary tale to everyone.
Color kills.
MLP kills more.

You could pair it up with your Luna M1911 and Applejack shotgun.

I'd have to do that Applejack thing to my Rossi M92 since my mom stole my Stoeger side by side.

And that thing has a bayonet, that makes the gun at least 20% cooler.
Oh wait, it has a vertical foregrip. That means it is dangerous. Gotta ban it.

Rainbow Dash Kar98K; The sticker on the left side isn't wrong, Mausers are cooler than most.

Mausers are certainly cooler than Mosins.

Better looking, better triggers, better bolts, more accurate, more German, and more ergonomic. And 8mm is just a nice round.

The More German part is the most important part of that.

Even a comparison between a Mosin and a pre-M98 Mauser (one of the cock on closing designs) would probably go easily in favour of the Mauser, I've got a Swedish M96 (a pre-M98 action based on the one used by the Spanish) that's excellent and fast to operate, cycling the action is actually a bit faster and easier than the cock on closing M98 Mausers like the Kar98K.

Isn't the Springfield 1903 Mauser based, and the Lee Einfield?

The Springfield is sort of an unlicensed copy, it was close enough that the US government was successfully sued by Mauser.
The Lee-Enfield is a Lee action, it uses locking lugs at the rear of the bolt rather than at the front, like the Mauser. The later Enfield Pattern 1914 and 1917 rifles all used a cock on closing Mauser action

What I find fascinating about the Mosin is that the Russians had so little shit to give about their soldiers that not only did they give them this inferior piece of hardware for 50 years, but the rifle could have easily been improved and they never bothered. With very little effort and expense I improved the bolt and trigger. If you really want to see someone take a sows ear and make a silk purse check out the Finnish M39. Some consider this one of the most accurate and possibly best bolt action battle rifles ever made. And that's a Mosin Nagant under there.

I've considered replacing my Russian Mosin with an M39.
