North Korean Mosin-Nagants

A parade in July of this year to mark the 60th anniversary of the Armistice (er, I mean, North Korean victory )

Looks like they still keep a stock of M91/30's for such occasions:

The Germans still have K98ks around for ceremonial purposes.

These rookies still haul the M-1 Garand around... (sarcasm)

The Russians also still keep the SKS around for guard use and ceremonial use.

I often see color guards at funerals and 4th of July parades carrying 03 Springfields.

Old military rifles rule...if you ask me! LOL

The pic of the Koreans bring a question to my mind... does goose stepping actually impress anyone anymore?

I always wondered why all these militaries picked rifles for ceremonial use that were used specifically from WW2. Is there an actual reason for this?

Every tin-pot dictator in the world seems to absolutely adore it...

My guess is that having much sleeker profiles they are a lot easier to D&C with and with all the wood they look pretty all shined up.

And bayonets always look good...
