Bolt-action rapid-fire - Mosin-Nagant M44 vs. 91/30

[caseyreavis]

it's a badge of honor when you can cycle 5 rounds from a mosin-nagant without the aid of a 2x4...

Nice...yeah, Mosins are a real pain regarding that, but I find that I can work it better than an Enfield...mainly because I tend to pinch the shit out of my palm sometimes when I work it fast.

[mark3smle]

try a mauser or an enfield next. id like to see the even faster rates of fire. i admit, i thought the Mosin was bad ass, but i did have a problem beating the bolt up to draw it rearward. i could keep the rifle to my shoulder, but too darn difficult. the mauser is good quality and strong. the enfield is meant for speed.

@mark3smle I'd love to try both of those, care to donate? :) It'll be a while before I can budget money for a new gun, and then it'll probably be another pistol (RIA 1911) for concealed and open carry.

[mark3smle]

@pcsrule my enfield is my rifle for when the shit hits the fan in the country. i must admit its damned fast. those trained brits that used it could put out fire like an automatic of todays age. with accuracy. and naturally the 303 round inspires more confidence than the 223 or ak round. i have had the privilidge of shooting a M1911, but I am a revolver man and am looking to purchase one for my concealed carry after i go through training. im a pretty good shot. so i should be alright.

Have you done the whole bolt break down and cleaning inside and out, and cleaned the chamber with a 20 gauge brush? I have a few and all my bolts work nicely without any mods at all... (Im not saying Im not just lucky)

[pcsrule]

@vetitoe362 I did break down the bolt and clean everything, but maybe I missed something - I'll break it down and clean it again one day soon. Didn't brush out the chamber with a bristle brush - I'll try that too.

only beginners take the gun off the shoulder while working the bolt

[pcsrule]

Piss off. Mosin bolts tend to stick, sometimes to the point where you need a rubber mallet to move them. If I didn't take it off my shoulder, I wouldn't be able to move the bolt, end of story. As the saying goes, "don't shoot your mouth (or fingers) off till your brain is loaded."

NEVER beat on the bolt, son..if it sticks, just pull back on the cocking piece (aka "safety" ha ha) and it will free up. Permanent fix is to tear down & soak everything in mineral spirits about half an hour.

The cosmoline will dissolve & your sticky bolt problem will dissolve with it.

[pcsrule]

@zrxdoug You don't think I tried that? When the bolt sticks on my M44, it doesn't move in any direction unless you whack it. I already cleaned all the cosmo out, it's sticky just because it's a Mosin.

Impressive, to say the least, delivering rounds down range rapidly and accurately with a bolt action rifle, awesome (5 stars)

[DieselBenz]

Who's to say they rounds were delivered accurately??? Rapidly yes... but nothing in the vid even hints at accurate shooting. Tell old boy with the sticking bold to put some elbow grease into it and quit being a puss! Watch my vid and see how I deal with a sticky Mosin-Nagant bolt!!! SLAM IT! Just as she likes it.

[pcsrule]

No, we weren't worried about accuracy, just speed. BTW I couldn't slam my bolt any harder without dropping the rifle - sometimes it just will not close no matter how hard I hit it.

[wavelength1970]

Cool vid, next time I shoot my 91/30 I'm going to try and cycle the bolt without lowering the rifle, supposedly that's how they did it in war....

[DieselBenz]

Nice Vid. Once I get my bold working in my 'new' mosin like my 'old' mosin was I will do a video response. Nothin a little dremel and Remoil can't take care of!

Rapid fire is cool, but accuracy is cooler! heh heh
