Yet Another Response to "Mosin-Nagant 91/30 Bayonet Question"

This is a second video in response to two of Gungeek's videos: "Mosin-Nagant 91/30 Bayonet Question" and "91/30 Question".

This time the ammo used is different - Czech Steel Core Light Ball, 148 grains

The same M91/30 rifle was used in this test at 100 yards, with and without the bayonet to see where the point of impact is with the sights set to 100 meters.

Where dd you buy that ammo?

@EquipaPatriot I think that stuff came from Frontier Firearms in Saskatchewan.

Apparently Red Army soldiers of the Mosin Nagant era were trained to aim at the belt buckle of their enemies. This may have something to do with it. I could be completely wrong though. Who knows.

[314299]

@NoVAFlood That might be a good method if you faced troops who were exposed, but they would end up shooting over a lot of the enemy if they had taken to prone or had only minimal exposure such as operating out of foxholes or trench.

Another good test.

If you'd like to get your rifle zeroed, I do have adjustable sights for it.

@Wabatuckian That's an interesting option but I'm forever messing with different factory ammo, surplus, jacketed and cast bullet reloads. For the most part I'm OK with the rifle if I can get the group somewhere on paper.

@SuperTelecom tehy did sue different sights. the fins used a doubble stack sight, but tehy changed from machined to stapmed later in the war (in that 43 44 range). its possible, but i dont think so. they would have to retrain everyone!

My Tula M91/30 (1934) shoots 8 inches high at 100 Meters, i fixed this by putting some 2.5mm Electrical wire insulation over the post and shortend it until it hit dead on at 100 meters and since i made the top of it a point it works quite well. Strangely my Izhevsk ex sniper hits perfectly at 100 meters. Does anyone know if they changed the sights during the war to make the bullets hit at the poa? ir is it just a sniper thing?

[twogun1969]

just proves that a bayo and ammo type change everything....great vid!!!!!!

@314299 Yeah, but I've reloading everything already...now I need to shoot it!
