  • btw i want to see one schellingrenade in action.

  • @fuckujutub So do I, but that can't happen.

  • @fuckujutub

    ok, but still thanks to/for this great videos. my english is not very good.

  • awesome videos. can i see some grenades?

  • @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

  • are you a ww2 fanatic? no insult here, just wondering why someone would dress like that shooting those wonderful guns...

  • @asdasf42 Yes, we like WWII history and collect soldier's gear from Germany and Russia.

  • @singer1198 Try Aim Surplus or Cheaper Than Dirt.

  • I didn't know that the SVT was clip fed, I only say the magazine fed rifles. Learn something new every day.

  • i hate little kids the say gewehr like its spelled , instead of ga-vair

  • 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.

  • hay is the first gun an sks or an svt ?

  • SVT-40

  • @DARIVSARCHITECTVS

    The 5.56mm cartridge was ment for a human target and nothing else . It has little stopping power, and isbalisticaly over kill for speed .

    Not a good deer rifle my friend .

  • Great Video Man!

    Five Stars My Friend!

  • yes but use soft point ammo and take neck shots the deer should drop like a stone if you neck shoot it.

  • 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.

  • The Mosin Nagant's scope is postwar, and my brother did buy it for around $450.

  • where did u get your guns from, im looking for a good cheap military rifle,but i havent found any good websites.

  • Google J&G arms.

  • thanks alot

  • Very nice rifles i am 14 years old and have a mosin nagant i collect ww2 rifles and wondering which would be another good gun to get

  • 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

  • Kurt, how accurate is the SVT 40 rifle? I'm not sure if it is enough for contest shooting. Or is the Mosin Nagant PU3,5 a better choice?

    Greetings from Germany your videos are awesome!

  • 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.

  • hey that sig 556 carbine, how much would that cost? and it aviable in canada and if so would it be good for hunting or no? (deer hunting)

  • 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.

  • thanks bud, only $1200 US not to expensive =]

  • Excellent G43, where did you find that baby? Also are the scope and mount original?

  • i was watching and i thought that the german sniper rifle would of been called gweher 43 (G43), since it's not bolt action, like the kar98k..

  • 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.

  • I assume you reenact and if so what unit are you with.

  • No particular unit. Usually Heer. Our local group is a mix of Allies & Axis.

  • its a svt

  • isnt 2:48 vasilie zaitsevs sniper?

  • no it is a version

  • 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.

  • yes offcause i got a website where you can buy scops and other military stuff

  • thats what i meant i dint mean it was literally his gun!!

  • hu thats weird on the first gun you put bullets in it but theres a clip on it?

  • Ah, the 91/30. When you have to arm 5 guys and only have $400.

  • I wont lie, this makes me want to reinstall COD2

  • 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've got it, I dont think I've ever installed it though. Guess I know what i'm doing tomorrow. Thanks!

  • i wanta mosin so bad how much are they?

  • WWII Mosin Nagant 91/30 rifles go for $95.00 and right now are pretty easily found, so get them while they are cheap and available!

  • dang it!!! i can get one in 9 ?ears i'm only 12!!!

  • you own a very impressive collection of historical guns. don´t you have a gewehr 98 of wwI?

  • 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.

  • love those wwii weapons <3

  • the guy wth the 50.cal does not know how too shoot that thing..you follow thru with your shot

  • I'm sure your are an expert. Cut him some slack. We were just messing around at the range. CHILL.

  • Great vids you have. It's fantastic to see those 'old school' weapons in action. Keep up the postings!!

  • yea, totally right!! +1 :D

  • I might have to flag this video for concrete block abuse, sorry.

  • LOL!

  • I couldn't resist!! XD

  • 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.

  • Kurt, I hope you don't run into what we have up Canada way, with the difficulty of owing certain.. well all now it seems, weapons.

  • Man, I hope to get a Gewehr 43 sometime in the future. That is, if I ever get wealthy enough to collect WWII weapons.

    Alot of those guns are probably gonna be even harder to find by the time that happens though, LoL.

  • this is really cool.

    shootin' is really fun lol

  • NICE!!!

    Where the hell do you get all the Weapons! G 43 is mint!!!

  • 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.

  • Here here.

    Took me a lot of time & effort for my collection.

  • damn! you have a k43? I have a c96 red nine.

  • the C96 is a REAL classic. I used to have one. Hang onto it! It's getting harder to find these days!

  • Yes.

  • I found 4 at a gun store around me.

  • you have got to have the coolest job in the world this kind of stuff is so freakin cool

  • I just put up a video of my firearms collection.

  • What's the gun at about 5 minutes? I can't tell because of that thing in the way.

  • 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.

  • Is the sight on the G43 a 4x or 6x?

  • It's 4x. The model of the scope is ZF4, short for Zielfernrohr 4-fach, or "sight 4-power"

  • Hey, I love your Gewehr 43. Do you know where I can get one?

  • 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.

  • Thank you, I will look this up

  • Nothing better than a day at the range!

  • The SKS is almost identicle to the SVT 40.

  • 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.

  • Bad assumption, they look alike sort of, but the SKS is more like the AK than anything else.

  • 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 see, I thought it would be the other way around! So I guess the sks ISN'T a piece of junk I thought it was!

  • The SKS is a solid rifle. Some makes are better than others. Avoid Norinco made ones. The quality is random.

  • I've mostly seen Yugoslavian versions, & most had grenade launchers attached.

  • What is the ammo you use for the 8mm?

  • 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.

  • What about Turkish & Pakistani ammo, is it reliable?

  • just having fun with our collections, that's all.

  • Where's your friend who demonstrated the K98?

  • He moved away recently to the east coast.

  • Vermont?

  • Where'd you get the old WW2 uniforms from im curios about that

  • The uniform reproductions can be bought from one of several companies. Google "WWII reenactment uniform" and it will lead you to them.

  • 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!

  • You can count on it!

  • so in ww2 the russians would use magazines? i see ok thans

  • in ww2 do the russians use clips or mags?

  • Magazine is the proper term. Clips are used only in M1 Garands and to store ammo in boxes or pouchs, such as stripper clips.

  • That is one chubby german sniper lol! jk

  • Maybe so, but I HAVE A GUN. :)

  • das nachladen der SVT-40 sieht ja mal übelst aus

  • 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!

  • please please mp44 vid with damage on targets and special stuff!

  • 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.

  • do u guys have a any french or polish stens? or like resistance group weapons?

  • 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.

  • What's too much too quick, and how much does it open up?

  • 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.

  • where did you get the stuff at?

  • We bought it from other collectors.

  • I think hyperventilating panic pussies are more dangerous than loaded rifles which are safely pointed downrange. Care to add something more intelligent ?

  • think of the dirt and rocks! oh the humanity!

  • Heh! THAT was actually more intelligent that gopferdami's remark. Congratulations.

  • lol, "hyperventilating panic pussies". That sounds like the name of an emo band or something.

  • Heh! It COULD be. Their attitudes are certainly "European" (gun fearful and wil;ling to be sheep).

  • Wow that with the sig 556 was just dangerous! Weapon safety was off when he loaded the mag!

  • Nice guns and nice shooting!

  • Thanks.. it;s great to spend a Saturday shooting ammo we spent all week earning money to pay for. :)

  • Before anyone says anything, I just wanted to point out that he SIG 556 was modified with a SIG 552 forearm and an ACE folding stock.
