My Mosin could probably do this if I had any marksmen skills. I'm just a grunt, after about 200 yards I can't hit anything. A scope would help since the iron sights are pretty bad.
Just ordered my mosin yesterday! They said it would take about 1-3 weeks to get it. It feels like I'v been waiting for weeks now! And watching this video sure doesn't help!
just bought one 2 days ago for $100. its still all greased up but cant wait to shoot it off. I had a 12 guage beretta for pheasant and needed a rifle for deer.
I have a mosin-nagant I had re-crowned, trigger-job, etc. It shoots tight with the m30-j round but do you think I can push it to 800 yards with the right optics? Right now it hovers at about 1 moa.
Behold the 2nd best bolt action rifle in human history. over 100 year old design and can still hit a target like that after being built like some 60 years ago. Imagine how awesome it would be if it were upgraded with today tech? Now that's scary. Just sayn.
VERY nice shooting. i have to ask- why do you have the hand guard off, VS free floating the front end, and hand guard? did that not work well enough? i tightened up the groups on my 91/30 by sanding out the barrel channel so the hand guard and stock dont rub the barrel at all. my best group at 100 yards, with IRON sights is 0.850"- no scope. I also glass bed mine.
i also notice you use 200gr .308 bullets- have you slugged the barrel? mine likes the Hornady .312" bullets-
Nice shooting, Very nice shooting !!!. Especially with that terrible wind. Isn't it a great feeling when you can resurrect those old warhorses, and show the world that they do shoot well. KUDOS !!!
8 people hate the fact that a $80 WWII rifle can accurately shoot as far as their $1000 rifles...well in the hands of a person that knows what they are doing. Great shooting!!!
@ENoland8 No no no... They are crazy. If you are a good enough shooter, you can hit anything with them at any range. That particular weapon was the popular choice of WWII Russian snipers.
@ENoland8 dont believe anyone who said the gun is innacurate it was the russians main arm during world war 2 and mass produced over 17 million of them. it is a sniper rifle accurate up to 600 yards with field sights and alot farther with a scope and a good shooter behind it. ive shot it plenty of times and it is impossible to miss from 100 yards with it. though some of the guns were adjusted to shoot with a bayonet so you may have to adjust the sights on it for it to shoot accurately
@rspaint94 i told them that and yet they think its bad but i got one this morning for my ww2 collection and im overjoyed i had to show them this video before they beleived me and they said theyd think about it and this video got me my mosin nagant 1942 7.62/54 91/30
@Roflskull Ernest hasn't answered so I'll jump in. We're both Mosin fans, but he has forgotten more about them than I'll ever know..
Scope is a Russian PU, fixed 3.5x power. Originals cost big bucks, but pretty darn good replicas can be had for around $200-300, same dimensions and equivalent performance. New ones have the advantage of always-centered reticle. On originals the reticle moved up, down,left, right as you adjust windage and elevation. Try Kalinka Optics and eBay
@Roflskull What palehorseone said. i just bought a damn good replica for my 91/30 and its beautiful. works like a charm. just look up PU scopes. ebay has quite a few too.
@MrROTTENJUGGALO i think he doesnt even have the top wood piece on. it might be because he doesnt want anything touching the barrel for better accuracy. just a thought though
@wasrdude i made kindof a dumb comment i was talking about the boddom part of the wood i had ti look at mine and relize it was attached to the rest of the stock. but yah it may give you better accuracy kind of a free float job
nice shots! i wonder if it would be possible to hit that target with the original ammo they used back then. what do you think, would it be possible? and i'm amazed by the good craftsmanship they had 60 years ago.
I just love to see the bullet in flight, the sound progression, and how late it is. You've hit the target and just after you've heard the sound. Too cool man, too cool.
@mag30th 1000 yards? Wait, that's 914.4 m. My God, I neber thought you might acctually hit it that far. But you do have old optics. I wonder if you can go maximum ironsight range of 2000m on K98. What's the biggest on Mosin?
@emel60 what kind of energy does the bullet have after going that far? still enough to knock you into the next county like the round usually has <400m?
@franklawl I wouldn't say that much. If it drops from super to subsonic then I guess it less than when fired. But I doubt I is not lethal, aux contrare. Still lethal I'd say.
@emel60 the 2000m iron sight was for volley shots in large formations basically lobbing them over into the opposing trenches... my mosin has a 2000m sight
i am gettn a mosin but i want the sniper with original scope ..how much will it cost? i hear gun shows are best to buy from. but at shows they cost 100-200. online there like 900$ am i missing somethin here? why such a diff price range?
I love this video. I hit a brake disc at about 200 yards with my Mosin with open sights. Yes it was on the ninth shot but still... none were very far off. Yeah you can shoot a mile and a half with a 50cal or 416 but you can't buy one for $89
I just started shooting steel targets, a question if you would- How do have that steel fixed to that board? I've got a 45 pound 14"x1" plate that I just rest up against a boulder or something of the like- It seems that the way you have it set up gongs a whole lot louder than my plate. So you angle the steel so it doesn't get so beat up? If you'd watch my video, my 7.62x54r chews a good 1/4 inch into the steel (or is it that I'm using steel core?) Thanks!
The U.S. Army and the U.S. Marine Corps spend millions developing snipers "systems"...rifles, ammunition, scopes, etc. With a hundred dollar bill at Big Five sporting goods stores they can get equipment the equal of anything purchased at taxpayer's expense. The "Nagant" is sometimes on sale at $79.95.
where do you get the bent sniper bolt with out drilling through the stock to make it fit.PLZ HELP ME! i bought a mosin bent bolt but you need to drill a notch for it to fit. my mosin is a 1942 m44 with a bayonet. I DONT WANT TOO DRILL THROUGH THE STOCK. i cant stress that enough. I DONT CARE IF THE BOLT IS A REPO. IF YOU SEE A PU SCOPE OR A BENT BOLT FOR THE MOSIN PLZ EMAIL ME AT trevor123pie@yahoo.com THK YOU
@trevor123pie you just buy one of the sniper models. makes life a lot easier. don't mess up a perfectly good mosin, sell it to someone who will take care of it and use the money (plus some extra) to get a real one.
the ak74's are a personal favorite of mine,[as opposed to my other favorite, the ak47,] the 5.54x39mm cartrige is just as accurate as the 5.56 but has more penatration, and at longer ranges, the 5.54 has more of a cruch factor, leading to greater stopping power, if you put the 5.54 round in a rifle with a barrel as long as the m16, this is my favorite short-to-medium range cartrige, althoe the ak47's 7.62mm ammo is much better at penetrating hard targets.
@BlackSpade72 7.62x54R ammo is very common and very cheap (money wise). I got a box of 440 rounds for $50 and ammo around where I live isn't exactly cheap with an exception of the 7.62.
@Stefano5441 you got a spam can i assume since its 440 rds but that stuff isn't the highest grade its intended for general infantry not for sharpshooting
@komuch Well the thing is is that the stuff I got was actually the higher grade stuff, not the general infantry ammo but then again Im certain it varies in price.
I know someo people arent going to like this but given all the extra care Mag has put into this rifle further cements my opinion that vasili zaitzev's accomplishments were more myth than anything, he simply got credit for other's enemy kills.
I would love to see videos of you performing the modifications to this mosin nagant, great work on all 3 variations Rifle Ammo and Operator getting that accurate with a design that is older then my grandpa, I have a 1948 Russian M44 I shot a few rounds with but nothing over 30 yards need some time at range to adjust the sights ect, love to get a 91/30 best condition i can get, and do some work on it to get tight groups, but most novice shooters liek myself the rifle out performs the operator
Will never understand why people criticize a weapon for not doing what it was never intended to do in the first place. The Ak was never meant to be a long range weaopon it was designed for close combat.
@hanzo138 depends on the year and manuf. of the rifle, depends if its an original ex sniper rifle or a regular 91/30 tapped for scope mount and bent bolt. For example, my $100 Ishevsk 1926 hex receiver m91/30, +$200-$300 for scope kit and bent bolt, +$X in labor where X = Unknown lol, so yeah $500 could be fair. Or if you can tap your receiver for mounting, and tap bolt to replace bolt handle yourself, you could save about $100 off of that rifle if you shop smart.
A very flat shooting 7.62MM with that particular load, by my reckoning AND you managed to score a hit on the first shot at 850. Not bad at all. I personally think you could push it a fair bit further.
Take notes, folks. All it took to get that kind of accuracy from a 60+-year-old rifle is a carefully selected MATCH bullet and some tedious and tricky load development. I noticed a big difference between period ammo and some carefully tuned hand-loads using today's slender pills with my Sprinfield
@jugheadkilla the m16 , m16a1 , m16a2 & the m4 are mechanical nightmares , i spent 15 years in the army and i'm a veteran of iraq . i can hit anything with them but you cant trust your life with them . if you rapid fire for an extended amount of time they will jam like hell . as far as the ak go's i can hit anything with that too , the range is a little shorter but dont belive the bull , poke your head out at with the wrong guy behind it and it will be your last !
ak is only good up to 75 yards, cut that in half for full auto. which is still great for the house to house we experienced in iraq/afghanistan.
but the m16 and its variants having mechanical problems is bull. when the rifle first came out in nam i refused to carry one and instead had a m14. but since then improvements to its design have pretty much eliminated all mechanical errors. keep your m16 clean and you will never have a jam.
@whitespear1488 um yea man, any 15 yr army vet should know maintenance is key. Priorities of work, weapons maintenance comes before anything, food,sleep, anything... of course your shits gonna jam if you don't treat it right. I did my time in iraq and the ghan and have never had my m4 fail me when the shit hit the fan... i trust them with my life due to the simple fact that im still breathing and the other guys aint... RLTW
I don't see were you could not overcome the elevation issues for 1000 yards with that round,but you sound like windage would constantly be an issue there wjen it came to making a string of hits. You look like you are very skilled at firing the rifle and creating the load. The freinds of Billy Dixon are smiling and wishing you well.
This is a VERY well done video man! 5 stars! The only other thing I'd do is put one of those muffle socks on your microphone so you dont hear so much wind noise. I hope I can shoot as well as you can someday! Stay safe man!!!
how much did you either buy it for or what was the final cost for putting the scope on cuz imlooking at buying one with a modern PU scope and its a 1938 model for 429.99 is that a good price?
just centerfire -- the cartridge has a rim on it but the firing pin hits the cartridge in the center versus on the rim like a 22 rifle. The answer is not obvious until you actually see one -- ignore the inbreds who insult people asking questions
I agree there's nothing wrong with asking questions especially when it comes to firearms. Its the ppl who think they know everything that usually either cause trouble or wind up hurting themselves or someone else. I'd have to say if your getting into guns though, the Mosin- Nagant rifle line should be seriously considered for your collection! They are such a high quality rifle that sells for bargan basement prices! And now you can customise them with tons of aftermarket stocks and scopes too!
Hey there, I was a little curious of how you made that thing so accurate. Did you float the barrel or use shims? I just floated my barrel in hopes of tightening the groups up and was curious if that is what you did to yours.
It has to do with the barrel harmonics. It basically needs to vibrate the same way every time, so the bullets goes to the same place. Floating the barrel means no part of the gun is touching the barrel other than where it is screwed onto the gun. It lets the barrel vibrate the same way without any variables, making the bullet go to just about the same place every time. It's an industry standard now for higher caliber rifles.
I didn't think u could hand load 7.62x54r ammo.

@Stefano5441 you got a spam can i assume since its 440 rds but that stuff isn't the highest grade its intended for general infantry not for sharpshooting
komuch 1 year ago
@komuch Well the thing is is that the stuff I got was actually the higher grade stuff, not the general infantry ammo but then again Im certain it varies in price.

I know someo people arent going to like this but given all the extra care Mag has put into this rifle further cements my opinion that vasili zaitzev's accomplishments were more myth than anything, he simply got credit for other's enemy kills.

I would love to see videos of you performing the modifications to this mosin nagant, great work on all 3 variations Rifle Ammo and Operator getting that accurate with a design that is older then my grandpa, I have a 1948 Russian M44 I shot a few rounds with but nothing over 30 yards need some time at range to adjust the sights ect, love to get a 91/30 best condition i can get, and do some work on it to get tight groups, but most novice shooters liek myself the rifle out performs the operator

Will never understand why people criticize a weapon for not doing what it was never intended to do in the first place. The Ak was never meant to be a long range weaopon it was designed for close combat.

My local gun shop has a scoped nagant for $500 and I want it SO bad. Is this a reasonable price?
hanzo138 2 years ago
@hanzo138 depends on the year and manuf. of the rifle, depends if its an original ex sniper rifle or a regular 91/30 tapped for scope mount and bent bolt. For example, my $100 Ishevsk 1926 hex receiver m91/30, +$200-$300 for scope kit and bent bolt, +$X in labor where X = Unknown lol, so yeah $500 could be fair. Or if you can tap your receiver for mounting, and tap bolt to replace bolt handle yourself, you could save about $100 off of that rifle if you shop smart.

sirrah060389 2 years ago
A very flat shooting 7.62MM with that particular load, by my reckoning AND you managed to score a hit on the first shot at 850. Not bad at all. I personally think you could push it a fair bit further.
Take notes, folks. All it took to get that kind of accuracy from a 60+-year-old rifle is a carefully selected MATCH bullet and some tedious and tricky load development. I noticed a big difference between period ammo and some carefully tuned hand-loads using today's slender pills with my Sprinfield

helljumper1893 2 years ago 3
@jugheadkilla the m16 , m16a1 , m16a2 & the m4 are mechanical nightmares , i spent 15 years in the army and i'm a veteran of iraq . i can hit anything with them but you cant trust your life with them . if you rapid fire for an extended amount of time they will jam like hell . as far as the ak go's i can hit anything with that too , the range is a little shorter but dont belive the bull , poke your head out at with the wrong guy behind it and it will be your last !

@whitespear1488
ak is only good up to 75 yards, cut that in half for full auto. which is still great for the house to house we experienced in iraq/afghanistan.
but the m16 and its variants having mechanical problems is bull. when the rifle first came out in nam i refused to carry one and instead had a m14. but since then improvements to its design have pretty much eliminated all mechanical errors. keep your m16 clean and you will never have a jam.

@whitespear1488 um yea man, any 15 yr army vet should know maintenance is key. Priorities of work, weapons maintenance comes before anything, food,sleep, anything... of course your shits gonna jam if you don't treat it right. I did my time in iraq and the ghan and have never had my m4 fail me when the shit hit the fan... i trust them with my life due to the simple fact that im still breathing and the other guys aint...

I don't see were you could not overcome the elevation issues for 1000 yards with that round,but you sound like windage would constantly be an issue there wjen it came to making a string of hits. You look like you are very skilled at firing the rifle and creating the load. The freinds of Billy Dixon are smiling and wishing you well.

TacticalSuperRebel 2 years ago
just centerfire -- the cartridge has a rim on it but the firing pin hits the cartridge in the center versus on the rim like a 22 rifle. The answer is not obvious until you actually see one -- ignore the inbreds who insult people asking questions
sloppyoscar 2 years ago 3
I agree there's nothing wrong with asking questions especially when it comes to firearms. Its the ppl who think they know everything that usually either cause trouble or wind up hurting themselves or someone else. I'd have to say if your getting into guns though, the Mosin- Nagant rifle line should be seriously considered for your collection! They are such a high quality rifle that sells for bargan basement prices! And now you can customise them with tons of aftermarket stocks and scopes too!
martykean1967 2 years ago
Hey there, I was a little curious of how you made that thing so accurate. Did you float the barrel or use shims? I just floated my barrel in hopes of tightening the groups up and was curious if that is what you did to yours.
ThePoisonYouth 2 years ago
how does floating and using shims make it more accurate?
rayd408 2 years ago
It has to do with the barrel harmonics. It basically needs to vibrate the same way every time, so the bullets goes to the same place. Floating the barrel means no part of the gun is touching the barrel other than where it is screwed onto the gun. It lets the barrel vibrate the same way without any variables, making the bullet go to just about the same place every time. It's an industry standard now for higher caliber rifles.
