I watched a special on the History Channel about Patton's 3rd Army. All of the actors in the shots with Patton were carrying SMLE rifles.There were so many of them in Eastern Europe that in the 1960s and 70s when multiple high budget epic Napoleonic Era war movies were made in Romania, Poland, and the USSR, film set armorers just removed the magazines on Mosins, glued a steel side plate to the stock around the bolt, and passed them off as 18th century flintlock muskets. And it worked because the Mosins are nearly identical to and still retain most features and outlines of the musket, complete with the tricorn bayonet...
