"Arctic Ops: Mosin-Nagant 91/30" by Nutnfancy

Practical cold weather testing of the Mosin-Nagan 91/30. With friend Cr0cket20, we launch out into the snow for engagements on Actiontarget.com steel plates to see what this rifle can do in these conditions. Temps ranged from 20ºF down to 15ºF later on. This particular Mosin-Nagant 1927 model wears my DuraCoat job in "Tactical Grey Green" (perfect color for the gun) and a Millet 1" red dot sight in a S&K brand scope base mounting in the rear sight area. In low light and overall speed this is a superior set up to the iron sights of the Mosin as proven in testing. The S&K mount has proven 100% stable in extensive testing as well (install carefully with blue Loc-Tite). In this outing, this Mosin 91/30 excels in the cold and the snow and shows that its battle-born pedigree still holds up. But be careful how you load those shells: it can experience rim lock if the cartridges are not loaded in forward stacking fashion, despite the "interrupter" in the magazine. This has happened at every stage of TNP testing. Firing the Mosin fast and accurately takes commitment and the user needs to cycle the bolt with authority and conviction. Short stroking the bolt can cause hangups as well. The trigger is pretty much awful but a good shooter can work through it and achieve remarkable accuracy. Our targets here range out to 175 yards, an approximately man-sized IPSC plate. The Mosin is not however a modern bolt action design and more modern offerings from Marlin, Savage, Ruger, and Remington will offer greater speed, ergonomics, optics versatility, and perhaps even accuracy. But for the money spent, around $100, you won't be able to touch it for overall effectiveness and range. And with its ammo currently very affordable, it offers tremendous recreation and training to the military rifle enthusiast. Expect a sore shoulder and a big grin after running the Mosin like this. In terms of value and fun, the Mosin-Nagant is a homerun even when the temperature plummets and snow falls. ////////////////////Nutnfancy Likability Scale as outfitted: 8 out of 10///////////////////////Music: Licensed from Nijdef

Mosin Nagant is like the Honey Badger, it doesn't give a shit. Pour some snow on it? It says "Fuck you" and keeps shooting.

[rkarulkar94]

Performance of the mosin in cold weather should never be questioned. battle of stalingrad testifies for that.

[burnerk]

How much, modded just like his run?

[klesmer]

@7xrepiv Ihave jet to find anything that is "bad" for a Mosin.

[klesmer]

@silverballer95 Good comparison.

[garrett0hunter]

What's the furthest shot with the mosion will you attempt an 800 yard shot with iron sights

[shootload1911]

what type of red dot is that?

[7xrepiv]

Is it bad for the mosin if you shoot like 50-60 rounds with little rest?

[xXspectre170Xx]

one of my favorite videoes on youtube..

@nutnfancy-------------- got a question? on the mods to the dura-coated MN( or mosin#1, as you call it) have you used , or thought of using a decent-cost high powered scope in the same front reciever alignment to see how far you can really take a shot down range from the mosin?

@50TNCSA well this is a small american winter try Alaska this winter they have had insane amounts of snow this year up to 15 feet in one storm
