@sherrykelly39 How old are they? It really isn't that hard, especially when you learn to not be delicate with it; I imagine 12+ years old should be able to handle the bolt.
everytime I was all "no! you got that wrong"... you came back with, "wait, no, I was wrong there" lolz watching this vid 4 months after you made it.... sounded like a conversation in my den.. lol! awesome. I love the mosin.
@trollprepper haha, thanks! The more I learn about guns (or anything) the more I realize I have to learn, lol. I try to learn from my mistakes and annotate when I can! Yeah the Mosin is awesome, I can't believe they are still so cheap. I need to do an update video on it; I put a rail and scope on, and shoots pretty nice. Have to shoot some more to make sure it's holding zero.
@trollprepper LOL, your right! On a good note, my rail fits over the rear iron sight so no modifications had to be made to the gun, other than remove two pins. But, at anytime i can convert gun back to stock! So the purest shouldn't complain too much. We'll see though!
Great vid. Watch the diff ammo. It will shoot diff. Make sure you site your Mosin in for the ammo you use for hunting. Love these guns. Have a few. Lol
@nadbooker thank you. Yeah I haven't shot anything through it other than the Russian surplus, which is not legal for hunting since its not a soft point. Wouldn't mind trying some hunting rounds through it. Yeah, it costs the price of 2 people eating out (maybe twice), and you have something to show for it afterwards! Awesome bang for your buck.
@basshoundusa I really like this video! Jeff Cooper said a man should learn something about himself and his firearm every time he goes to the range and you did that, can't think of a better way to spend a day. Nice review of the rifle, I have seen other reviews but yours conveys the joys of owning an economical surplus rifle and the associated considerations. Great job!
Questions:
How is the trigger? Is it as stiff as it looks? Does it effect accuracy? Can it be adjusted?
@dougcarlton Thank you! It may be a little stiff, yet it is consistent through the whole pull, and really is not that bad. I don't believe it effects accuracy at all, once you are used to it, because it is consistent and can be pulled smoothly. I don't believe there is anyway to adjust it, other than lubricating it a little bit. From what I hear, each Mosin Nagant is different, some trigger pulls are better than others, so that is one thing to check when you buy one. I'm happy with mine!
@collateral1207 what scope mount did you use for your mosin? ... been looking into them. Also, when you get a "new bolt" with the mount, you basically have to cut the old one off, and drill and tap the new one in?
@collateral1207 yeah, would have been a viral video i'm sure! I wondered how long a comment about that was gonna take, as I noticed that when I was watching the footage. In my defense I think it is physically impossible for the primer to go off smacking it against a flat table, as the primer could not be dented in enough... :) LOL
@jeffrey826 Very true. I meant the that the Mosin Nagant (in general) was used in WW1, but didn't make that clear. I added annotation to correct this error. Thanks for pointing this out!
Nice video! 9:35 The numbers are in meters. The original WWI Mosins were the longer M91. The rear sight on those were in arschins which is 1 arschin = 28 inches. The thing about Mosins are you just can't have one! My Finnish Mosins are more accurate with the M39's being the best of the bunch.
@Teleoceras Thanks for the info! Video is annotated now. Yeah they are awesome to collect. I'm sure i'll end up researching other models more, and get another one! Thanks again.
@basshoundusa That's cool. A really nice book is The Mosin Nagant Rifle by Terence W. Lapin. 7.62x54r.net is a great online source for Mosin Nagants. Good luck!
i just got 1 i havent fired it yet ,i luv old weapons hard for a girl to pull the bolt back ?

Mosin front sights are short and they all shoot between 6-10 inches high inside of 200 yards.

would have been so funny if the bullet went off when he slammed the primer on the table lol

I hate to be nit-picky but the 1891 model was used in WW1, while the 91/30 was used in WW2. Great vid though.
