I'm going to point this out, since no one else has:
A Mosin Nagant is NOT pleasant to shoot, even for many full-grown adults. That gun is big and heavy (not a problem for adults, but for a 14 year old it could be), and kicks HARD. While there are some adults who enjoy the feeling of power, it won't be pleasant for a 14 year old and will turn him off to shooting. Get him a gun he can enjoy, not one that's so excessively overpowered as to actually hurt him.
