| Did the US Inspire the Mosin Design? The bolts look very similar. What do you think? Winchester-Hotchkiss on Gunbroker: GunBroker.com guns: WINCHESTER HOTCHKISS 1883 carbine 45/70,1st (item: 83982020 ends: Nov-05-07 10:49:51 PM) I must admit I've never seen a Hotchkiss of any sort, but the pics make the bolt look like the Mosin's....
