@fuckujutub Sorry, but the rifles and machineguns are legal, grenades are not. I wish we could have grenades but they are quite dangerous even on a private range.
the thing I hate most about the SVTs is that after shooting the surplus you have to clean the thing in case the ammo is corrosive. I am lazy and prefer to put off cleaning my guns as long as possible. :P
How much did you get your Gewehr 43 for? I'm planning on saving up for one and their is currently one on GunBroker with a Apfeltor Shooters kit already installed. The guy wants $1,900 and that seems like a pretty good price.
@CRH114 $1900 is a good price, as long as the stock is original and not heavily sanded. Using Apfeltor's kit will allow you to shoot it occasionally safely.
How much do you like the SVT? I have a ton of 7.62x54r lying around from before it got so expensive, and was looking for a semi-automatic rifle to help get rid of some of it.
Excellant video! 5/5! Loving the SVT-40, and the Gewehr 43! How much did you pay for your Mosin Nagant M91/30 with the PU scope!? And, is it a WWII or post war version!? Been thinking about buying one, i've seen them for about $450, but it's got a post war mount and scope on it.
Seeing as your are young and money is not easy to get, save your pennies and spend about $300.00 on a German k98 rifle which has been captured by the Russian. None of the parts match, since they were mixed those of hundreds of other rifles, but they shoot VERY well. Those rifles are historical classics. I still have the first k98 I bought, made in Steyr, Austria in 1941, and it is STILL my favorite rifle for shooting.
Thanks for the reply I have saved up about 500 dollars and plan to go to a gun show in October and find a nice one... My mosin nagant has all matching serial numbers except for the bayonet
If you are an experienced shooter, then the choice in rifle may make a difference. A scoped bolt action is usually better than any semi-auto rifle, all other variables being the same. I personally liked the SVT-40 a lot because it was semi-auto.
It costs around $1200 US, and I can't think if any reason why it should not be available in Canada. It's a Swiss design but made in the US. It is modelled after the Swiss SIG 552. In the US, you can hunt with it like any 5.56 AR-15.
The Karabiner 43 and Gewehr 43 are the SAME rifle. The name G43 was changed to k43 in 1943. Since the rifle is truly a carbine (short rifle), the name Karabiner is actually more correct. The best sniper rifle for accuracy for the Germans was the scoped bolt action k98. Self loading rifles are slightly less accurate than bolt action rifles at extreme range.
That rifle has a PU scope, used by sharpshooters. True Russian snipers used a hand picked Mosin Nagain 91/30 with a PE scope, not a PU scope. The movie got it wrong. PE scopes are rare. PU scopes are hard to get, but REALLY nice postwar reproductions are available, like the one in the video.
I play COD2 in winter when it's too cold to go to the range. Try red Orchestra if you want to see game guns that act closer to real ones though. They did a great job with that game.
I used to have a very nice vet bringback Gewehr 98, but to help raise money for an MP-44, I sold it to a good friend who had his eye on it for a long time, so it went to a good home. I've been trying to concentrate on collecting German WWII weapons, one example of all the major ones, to keep the collection coordinated as a whole.
Much better scopes by the Russians then the standard German Mausers, where you needed a tool to adjust the settings. With this all you did is turn the wheel type device to zero the weapon.
I would not say MUCH BETTER scope than German, just simpler. The quality of a scope usually depends on two major things, the quality of the glass and the strength and precision of the internals. Generally speaking, the better scopes cost more money. Complexity DOES factor in depending on the training of the user and or course the need for special tools. Russian scopes are simple and fairly rugged, but the glass is not so great.
Thanks for the heads up. I recalled watching a documentry also on Stalingrad, and comparison of advantages.This is where I picked it up. They also mentioned the differences between dependability of weapons under the weather conditions.The Germans used oil as lubricants, but this led to jamming in severe weather conditions. The Russians got by the problem by mixing gasoline with the oil to lubricate there weapons. Interesting doc showed in video also the results. Basic.Russians could zero faster.
We worked our butts off to save money, then bought them from other collectors. They are hard to find, and expensive, but if you want something bad enough, you work it off.
That was my brother shooting a Russian Mosin Nagant 91/30 with a sharpshooter's PU scope. He is wearing a WWII Russian uniform in that scene. The same rifle appears earlier in the video also.
They are sometimes for sale by other collectors. Google "G43 forum" and look there. Every once in a long while, a G43 or k43 is for sale. But they are not cheap. They start around $2500 and go up from there depending on condition.
um, not really. If you looked at both up close, they really have nothing in common internally or externally... except for maybe the golden color of varnished wood and crudely machined blackened metal.
Nope! The internal mechanism is ACTUALLY similar to the MP-44! The AK-47 may LOOK like an MP-44 by way of it's shape, but the method the AK-47 uses to lock the bolt to the rear end of the barrel is fairly unique, and NOT EVEN CLOSE to the SKS or MP-44 design. If I took my brother's SKS bolt and bolt carrier, and held it next to those from the MP-44, you'd swear that the Russians copied the lock mechanism from the MP-44. The AK-47 round is much more powerful than the MP-44.
I use Romanian 1970's 8mm in the k43 because the powder charge is not too high and the ammo is reliable and consistent for military surplus. Some of the early Yugoslavian ammo would not extract in my k43 because the neck was too nigh on the case, causing the cases to stick hard in the chamber. Later Yugo ammo may be better, buut I haven't tried it. Romanian works perfectly.
Excellent video! Your SVT40, or who evers it was is gorgeous. Very lucky to have a piece like that, I would love to get one being a Surplus collector, but it's far out of my budget. How much did you pick yours up for?
That was my brother, Mark, with his SVT-40. He got it for $1100. It was about $200 abover average price because of its condition, and because it was made at Kovlov arsenal, which only made SVT's for 2 years, so it's less common.
Well then, Mark is a lucky fellow to have been able to buy such a piece. They are beautiful rifles but just so expensive. One question if you know or not, how come he was using the stripper clips to load, instead of the removable 10 round magazine?
He does not have a spare magazine, and the gun was designed to be loaded from top as well as changing the mag. The stripper clips are very convenient too.
Ah, well considering I saw magazine priced from 70-90 dollars, I do not blame him. I actually did not know the weapon could be loaded with stripper clips until the video. It's nice to learn something new..Very similar to the SKS... I guess that's why they call the SKS the little brother. Keep on exersising your 2nd Amendment right!
It will be great. A lot of people think the ak47 functions exactly like an mp44, which is not, the mp44 influenced the sks if we really wanna find something similar. And info on the 7,92x33 caliber would be really appreciated as it was the first real assault rifle caliber! take care!ps: here where I live, Italy, you can find original mp44 turned in semiauto for a ton of money,like 4000 euros, found 4 in fantastic conditions, probably have hidden on some kind of loft or something for 50 years!
I intend to make such a video, with LOTS of details on the MP-44, as soon as I GET my MP-44. Paperwork is in progress. There isn't enough info on the MP-44 regarding how it works internally. I intend to change that.
There are some people who research resistance groups and collect info on improvised German grenades to blow railroad rails, secret and hidden radios, etc. I just sold my Sten Mk II to a friend. It was fairly reliable and lots of fun to shoot at the range. I decided to get an MP-44 to complete my German WWII collection.
That SIG ACOG+Docter set-up must have cost as much as a good secondhand car. It looks great and I bet it shoots as well. I wish we could still own stuff like that here.
I got it used for $2000 US. It it very accurate, but if you shoot too much too quickly through it, the thin barrel heats up and you get a few slightly stray shots at long range. It's not designed for really long ranges, and does well at medium range.
After shooting 25 rounds in quick succession, you start to get an occasional shot that is about 2" off at 100 yards. The barrel on this carbine is designed to be light, and not accurate after hard use when shooting at EXTREME ranges. It's a carbine, not a sniper rifle. For medium ranges, it is EXCELLENT, and since the bolt is the same as an AK-47, it's also VERY reliable.
I think hyperventilating panic pussies are more dangerous than loaded rifles which are safely pointed downrange. Care to add something more intelligent ?
