mosin nagant

[jagen heie]

i know while they both fire like brand new one is i think from 47 and the full size one is i think 33-34 cant remember. it really shows how much they put into engineering/machining these firearms. you also gotta love how long they were in service both in russia and then pretty much all the way down to middle east. there have actually been mosin nagants recovered from afganistan and iraq

Very good guns....

My PE & PU snipers. For a couple antiques they sure don't shoot like them.

I always thought they were neat guns, I remember reading about the American intervention in Russia right after WWI and the troops turned in the 1903s for Remington made Mosin nagants.

I watch Russian and Finnish films and they have great scenes with these rifles.

 

[jagen heie]

oh nice guns.

 

[cal50]

Done overlook the Finn model 39's either. The Finn 39 is one of the best shooting rifles in the 7.62X54R caliber.

Look on the left side of the rack.....

If you own a Mosin, also required is that you purchase and watch "Enemy at the Gates"...or so it seems!

I've seen bits & pieces. Looked awesome & I'd really like to watch it in entirety sometime.

Very True

That movie is GREAT!

I have 5 Mosins... if you go to Russia don't call them Mosin Nagants, you'll get dirty looks. The only thing Nagant contributed to the gun is a screw that holds the magazine spring in place. He then sued for patent rights and rather than giving him half of the patent money they gave him an equal amount as Mosin. Russians were very angered by this.

A nagant is a pistol. It is the only pistol to be pretty well silenced with a suppressor because the cylinder moves forward putting the brass into the rear of the barrel -- the bullets are set beneath the rim of the brass. So none, or very little gas escapes at that joint. Still not a very powerful round. Holds 7 rounds and loads like a single action revolver with a loading gate. There's no return spring on the ejector rod, so it's a pain to unload and reload. I'll have my hands on one in 11 days. (I live in Fascist California)

Of my 5 Mosins one is a PU Sniper all matching numbers which I'll keep original. ATI makes a stock that is supposed to be a drop in deal. I already have the stock and one of the mosins will go in that with the barrel cut down to 24 inches or so. I'll add a modern scope. When I do that I'll have an extra bayonet and You can have it for nothing if you send me your mailing address (harold5216(at)gmail.com It may be a few weeks before I decide which one gets what. Actually it shouldn't take too long.

I have 2 spam cans of ammo. 880 rounds -- the rounds are corrosive (I believe it's the primers they used actually) One can to shoot, one can for zombies. I think it was $170 for both cans.

Because of the corrosive ammo you clean the gun the day you shoot it. I use Ammonia mixed 50/50 with water. Some people use Windex because it has ammonia. Rinse the barrel and the ammonia will neutralize the corrosive salts and then clean your rifle as you would any other rifle.

Fine weapon, but would still rather roll with my China SKS.

 

[Jswiney9]

I loved my M44, wish I still had it!

The thread is alive!

Since we're on the topic this stuff has been going around lately. '47 vintage Russian light ball in Izhvesk stripper clips. Now you can load your Mosin just like Ivan did...

The shop I bought my 2 Mosins from had a huge sign saying they are the rifles seen in "Enemy at the Gates". Always thought that was a good way to sell more Mosins.

[tork'd]

i thought everybody had a Mosin or three....

 

[Moonman]

Lots of them out there, I have a friend in the business and he orders them 100 at a time. A Cheap cost to own rifle.

I enjoyed watching Enemy at the Gates, but the movie is a bit different from what really happened at the Battle of Stalingrad.

You can search: Vasily Zaitsev, or



Duel of the master snipers, by Vasily Zaitsev, page 1

I own three M91-30's...one is an original --- IZZY, 1943 PU sniper --- it has a beautiful stock. I get 1 3/4" moa at 100 yards with Russian N-10 sniper ammo. After shooting, my current cleaning solution is: 1/3 Simple Green, 1/3 hydrogen peroxide and 1/3 rubbing alcohol. Then I go with a ammonia based copper cleaner; then clean it all out with Hoppes #9.

People have to be careful not to polish the trigger group too much, so as to make a Mosin fail a decent drop test.

More or less...

Errm, I will require notice if you want a precise count.

 

[Double-O-Dave]

yeah be careful my friend and i shot through a three inch tree an inch post ten feet behind the tree and into the tree about five foot behind the post lol

"Think you used enough dynamite there, Butch?"

 

[Beauetienne]

I made a poor man's scout rifle out of this one. Only change to it was the removal of the rear sight and putting a Darrell's scope mount in it's place. It wore glass for a while, but I like the red dot better.

Thought about removing the bayo. Maybe I will, maybe not.

91/30 Mosin

I believe Westinghouse also made Mosins for the Russians
