I like M17s and Springfields, but if I had to go in harm's way, I'd want an Enfield, either variant. 10 Shot mag, acceptable battle accuracy, works under any conditions (they all pretty much do that), but they are the fastest cycling rifles from that era. I was trained on and SMLE as a cadet by Korean Vets. We used to make the SMLEs sing. Others are more accurate and preetier, but they are the ones that can lay down a lot of accurate fire.
I own many World War II rifles, and I have to say I like the Mauser 98 the most. It is very accurate and smooth. However, my 1934 Mosin 91/30 is a close second and the most fun rifle I've ever owned! MAN that thing is fun to just dump ammo down range all day, and ammo is dirt cheap for it. I can't get enough of it!
I bent some scrap metal around a couple non live shells. It was extremely makeshift. My 91/30 is a 1942, and my M44 is a Romanian with the common 1955 date.
@higgininja haha ok big man.I just got a youtube profile a day ago.haha u do not have to be a big boy to me.do not give a shit.just saying it is mean ass gun.u look like u are 10 in this video.do not have to get mad and cry about it.so go put your mosin down and give it to a big boy and go play your x box.
Honestly calm down. I own an M44, and it's much more harsh than the 91/30. I'm not crying about anything, and in fact I am a big boy. I can handle all of the rifles I own. I don't know why I look young, and I don't cry about anything to anyone. I also don't own an xbox. If you aren't going to leave a constructive comment, I'd appreciate you don't leave one at all.
Considering this video was up one year ago, and I turn 19 in less than 3 months just goes to show how pointless your comment is. I looked at your channel to notice it's quite empty. So before you judge in such a way, why don't you mind your own business. If you wont contribute to the youtube community in even a semi helpful way, just know how low you've put yourself in the world of trolls and useless people.
Its simple to use and clean, bolt is easy to disassemble and operates very smoothly.
Highly accurate at range, .303 has good stopping power and moderate recoil. Magazine is detachable, follower can easily be removed or replaced if necessary. It can hold 10+1 rounds giving it the largest capacity. It has good balance and great iron sights, the trigger pull is also great.
I have a Mosin-Nagant too, both are great great rifles, but L-E wins hands down.
i have a nazi issue K98 mauser that i shoot 196gr yugo bullets through it. i can shoot less than inch groupings with it at 300yds and a 16x scope. its ancient, but its still decent for accuracy and makes my nagants (both 91/30 and m44) feel like pea shooters.
the Lee Enfield is a really good gun, i got one but the bolt is broken :/ it's fast firing and you get an adventage with the 10 round mag. I think the Lee Enfield is best
The SMLE is the fastest firing of the bolt actions with a ten round capacity. Watch the sharp edges on that stipper clip or you could put an eye out:>
Very nice, I sometimes have trouble with my stripper clips, mostly in the cut up thumb area lol. I vote for Mosin Nagant, I absolutely love mine. Not a single time have they had any kind of malfunction. How many mosins do you have out of curiosity? I can't imagine just one, cause once you get one mosin... well that mosin needs a buddy... and so on lol.
Have Mosin Nagant myself. Kindof young to own that Rifle. Well its good you take care of it. By far I am not being biased but I belive the Mosin is the best Bolt action all around. But then again the enfield would be the next.
first off im am british, but even my non biased oppinion is the 1907 short magazine lee enfield. a few reasons are because; it has a 10 round magazine, a very sturdy bolt, a smooth action, and is very reliable. Also by having my grandfathers ww2 rifle i learnt how to do the mad minute, so in about a min i can fire off probs 35 rounds. Lee Enfield FTW!
I started collecting young. My father has since signed all the transfer papers and they now officially belong to me.
When I was a minor, I saved the money, picked the right gun, took care of it, and shot it. It only legally belonged to my father. And my parents appreciate my hobby.
I would of spent my time making a Karabiner 98 Kurz or Lee Enfield, possibly just buy them yet they're not cheap so I'd make one but I'm not that intelligent so I guess I would try.. But it would probably explode in my hands.
the LEE ENFIELD 1 because i live right next to wer it was named after ( enfield), 2 it had a large magazine ,3 it was the most reliable bolt action weapon said on discovery channel ,4 it locked only at the front of the breach and not at the back not like the kar98k mauser wer it locked both ends and thats a reason why we brits use 2 win the fire fights cos we had tht split second advantage. well we dint win the fire fights ... our grandads and great grandads did.
god its too hard to choose so ill choose three, the springfield, the mosin (i own two) and the K98....dont get me wrong the Lee is great (fastest action at the time plus removable magazine)
@higgininja im working on a project with my Mosin 91/30 to hit accuratly out to 1000 yards. its hard but fun....its a test of a good friendship too...
@higgininja PU? if you mean am i using an origional scope then no. I bought an aftermarket free float stock and put a 4-16x Mil-Dot scope on top with the bent bolt.
i'd have to say the 98K (karabiner 98, Kurz; a.k.a.= carbine version) the actions are precisely machined, smooth as glass. the gun takes minimal mantainence (within reason). absolutely golden in the hands of a sniper. only problem is the 8mm cartridges are rather expensive to obtain.
I'm going with my trusty old Mosin Nagant. Its an awesome rifle and one of, if not the, best deals you can get on a high powered rifle. Once you get the cosmo out, and learn not to fire lacquered ammo as fast as you would non-lacquered, the action is quite smooth.
Though I'd like to have any of those rifles in my collection.
Mosin Nagant 91/30. This is no joke, we saw a guy out hog hunting use his to - a) drive his tent pegs, b) use it as a tent pole in a homemade "brush stacked on a tent" blind, and c) drop a 273 lb hog w/ one shot behind the front leg at just over 160 yds.
K31!!!! My straight pull bolt can destroy any other in fast accurate fire. To bad the swiss are always neutral, and the rifle was never combat provin. Or it surely would have gone down as one of the best rifles of WW2
@znignflo72 well, the K31 is rather bad assed. i own a 1943 izvehk nagnat and i even say that. they were strong enough to bash open doors and the magazine could be used as a step to get over walls.
@SchutzstaffelAnarchy nagant is another great rifle, mine is a 1942. Very accurate rifle, was shooting 5/5 on a steel plate at 100 yards. To bad thats the longest part of the range i go to, wish i could shoot it at 200 or 300 yards, that would be a blast!
@znignflo72 the best i can do is 60 rounds (steel cored bulgarian) in a 10 inch group. still working down to 3 bullets one hole. i have shot the famous "2000 meter dash" and still hit what ia was aiming at: a house.
My favorite rifle is the Mauser 1898 Gewher. I prefer it over the Mauser kar 98 kurtz because it has a longer barrell, strate bolt handle, and better sights. Also it just looks cooler to me. Oh, and it has the same 7.92 x58 mm bullet as the mk98k
Pure ingenuity! Way to go on making custom parts! I'd love to see an instructional video on this.
As for the poll, I'm torn, but I'd say the Mosin was definitely the most reliable, often outlasting their operators. The Russians had been producing the weapon since the 1890s, longer than the Springfield 1903, so the design was perfected simplicity.
Oh man, you aren't kidding. I am such a history buff and I love these old guns. I stumbled upon a family M1 Carbine, and it's been all downhill from there. Good luck!
Love my Mosin Nagant sniper rifle, but the k98k seems to be more reliable, easier to handle/load, and has a smoother action. I say more reliable because those pesky rims on the 7.62x54r sometimes get caught on one another, whereas the 8mm mauser cartridge has no such problems. So my vote goes to the Mauser 98k. Mosin Nagant a close 2nd... love the SVT40 more than both though XD but that's a semi lol
this is not about how much money you can save,this is about how much fun you can have doing your own project(along with the knowledge you can gain) just give some polish to it and stamp your initial in a circle on the back of it
i have to agree with the 2 bellow me. i like the mosin because of its dependability and the springfield for its accuracy. cool stripper clip, would get my own mosin but am worried about the recoil.
Everyone told me it would kick like a mule, but its really not that bad at all and it was the first rifle I ever shot (other than .22). It will make you a bit sore if you shoot like 30 rounds, but the kick itself isn't bad at all.
I would say either the Mosin Nagant becuase of it ruggedness, the powerful round, and If you know how to get rid of sticky bolt it's a great rifle. Just a hell of a deal ecsepcially for $79 dollars. Runners up would either be the Ariska becuase it has the strongest action a guy red did khis for .30-06 so any rifle action that can send a .308 diameter out a .264 barrel is dam good. Lee Enfield is another good choice becuase of the smooth action but I'll put up mosin with a lee enfield any day.

the mauser 98k strong action reliable good round accurate but bloody heavy kicks like a mule and whats with the ww1 sights .
so yeah theres something to love something to hate and something to mas****ate.

As for the poll, I'm torn, but I'd say the Mosin was definitely the most reliable, often outlasting their operators. The Russians had been producing the weapon since the 1890s, longer than the Springfield 1903, so the design was perfected simplicity.

Maybe I will slap together an instructional.
Nice write up of the mosin by the way, I like that "perfected simplicity" statement.

Thank you. I hope to get one in the future, being a history nut and all. It sure is a heck of a lot easier than getting a Garand!
CrystalHunter1989 2 years ago
Oh man, you aren't kidding. I am such a history buff and I love these old guns. I stumbled upon a family M1 Carbine, and it's been all downhill from there. Good luck!
higgininja 2 years ago
Lol, I know exactly how you feel. I know people are proud of their AR's and what not, but the old stuff has been to WAR!
Oh, and my grandpa left an M1 Carbine behind as well. He was a Sherman driver in the Missouri Armored Reserve.
CrystalHunter1989 2 years ago
Awesome! =] My grandpa was in Korea, drove tank too!

Did he ever go to Chosin? I can only imagine what it was like being under MacArthur.
CrystalHunter1989 2 years ago
He was fortunately stationed in Germany during the war.

Love my Mosin Nagant sniper rifle, but the k98k seems to be more reliable, easier to handle/load, and has a smoother action. I say more reliable because those pesky rims on the 7.62x54r sometimes get caught on one another, whereas the 8mm mauser cartridge has no such problems. So my vote goes to the Mauser 98k. Mosin Nagant a close 2nd... love the SVT40 more than both though XD but that's a semi lol

this is not about how much money you can save,this is about how much fun you can have doing your own project(along with the knowledge you can gain) just give some polish to it and stamp your initial in a circle on the back of it

M1 Garand, Springfield and Mosin Nagant.
The MP40 and Thomson also get an honorable mention.

i have to agree with the 2 bellow me. i like the mosin because of its dependability and the springfield for its accuracy. cool stripper clip, would get my own mosin but am worried about the recoil.
USARMYAIRBORNE101st 2 years ago
91/30s have very little recoil. M44s and M38 are the ones you have to worry about.
higgininja 2 years ago
@USARMYAIRBORNE101st
Everyone told me it would kick like a mule, but its really not that bad at all and it was the first rifle I ever shot (other than .22). It will make you a bit sore if you shoot like 30 rounds, but the kick itself isn't bad at all.
UntamedWalrus 2 years ago
I would say either the Mosin Nagant becuase of it ruggedness, the powerful round, and If you know how to get rid of sticky bolt it's a great rifle. Just a hell of a deal ecsepcially for $79 dollars. Runners up would either be the Ariska becuase it has the strongest action a guy red did khis for .30-06 so any rifle action that can send a .308 diameter out a .264 barrel is dam good. Lee Enfield is another good choice becuase of the smooth action but I'll put up mosin with a lee enfield any day.
paraman90 2 years ago
Thanks for the comment. Gotta agree. A mosin thrown down stairs would still function at least another 100 years. ;)
