 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in. Certain rifle rounds can be very popular and then they sort of fade off And then there are others that have stood the test of time. This one is still around. It was once extremely popular Nobody talks about it anymore. It is a round that was used in the world wars. Even before that it was produced in the 1800s like 1891 181 grain bullet and the firearms were cheap Military surplus they were like $69 and Some of the the larger ones that had a hex barrel and so forth was a little bit more But the Mohsen the gun Was very inexpensive and this is the round I am talking about right there 762 by 54 are now one of the reasons why it was so popular is because the Mohsen itself Was interchangeable and and they would do that on the battlefield They would have a part that was damaged. They could just pull it out and switch it up with another one Now this is a Mohsen with a Monte Carlo stock Primarily they are wood stocks a little bit beat up when you would purchase them They would be just caked with Cosmoline and you had to take a couple hours to clean it all off and Including the internal parts they use that they put them in in cases and they're there for years and years But they would put them on the shelf or in the back of the gun store for 69 70 79 dollars and people would eat them up and better yet the ammo itself was cheap Very cheap. I'm going to show you that but this here's a Franken rifle And that's one of the things you could do with the Mohsen is switch it all out Whether it is American made Winchester or Russian or Finnish and a couple others out there the parts were interchangeable of five round internal magazine bolt action Rifle these were made for shooting at people a thousand yards away and it is extremely a powerful round 181 grains now the 762 by 54 are Used to be inexpensive and I would pick this. I'm gonna show you right now. This is what they call a spam can All right, there it is And it has 440 rounds now. I don't know if that'll pick up, but I will tell you this costed $119 For 440 rounds, can you imagine that you can't find anything for $119 these days let alone a huge 181 grain bullet like this now This is a corrosive round corrosive sounds bad. It's gonna ruin my barrel Well, you have to clean your barrel each time you fire these depending on the round count, but It'll last forever this sealed up in this spam can will last forever It comes with the little wrench you would you know pry off the top and it is loaded with these Russian rounds 762 by 54 are it used to be so popular people loved Mosin Nagant We still love bolt action rifles But the the Mosin had a special place in many people's hearts at one point I owned six or seven I thought I wanted to be a collector of Mosin's many years ago, and then I realized that The amount of energy and time and education that would be required would be was more than I could handle at that time I was like I like them. I I not I'm not sure I'm in love with them, but I always had a Mosin Primarily because it was cheap the ammo was cheap and it was so much fun and people say that thing kicks like a mule Well, it kind of does but it's awesome. I don't think it's too bad But I don't think I'm very recoil-sensitive some people are if you are you won't like it But this thing is extremely powerful round. It'll take a A standard patio block and punch it in the sand is what it'll do It's it's very very strong round You feel it when you shoot it, but it was cheap and people loved it now now if you go to buy 762 by 54 are you looking at 300 bucks perhaps for a 500 round case hard to find the spam cans here okay These are paper wrap stapled together Kind of cheaply made, but they worked and it is a rimmed cartridge And you don't see many rimmed cartridge They actually had these four machine guns at a time and it was one of the few rimmed cartridge rounds that would actually Eject pretty Consistently from a machine gun. You've seen these in certain VEPR models that are so cool You know, I still love the round. I don't shoot it anymore. It's no longer a popular round From what I could tell because the ammo has skyrocketed the price of the firearms the rifles have skyrocketed and You know the $69 rifle is now $269 more likely into the three hundreds and it was once not a novelty But something that people chased after they wanted it they wanted one or two or three like I did and then Everything went up and if you want to see a a round die a die out Just go ahead and jack up the price to a point where nobody wants to fire it anymore And and then it's gonna die out and that's what happened to the 762 by 54 are from what I could tell What I want to know is are you a fan? Do you love most in the guns? Do you love the the bolt action the five rounds the the various stocks you could put on it? Do you like the fact that the parts are interchangeable with each other and that the round is so powerful that it could take down any Game in the United States like any any not even close, you know, they actually have the sniper rifles which are Loaded with a an optic on there very minimal powered optic It was suiting for the time back in the early 1900s and so forth, but it was popular and no longer is popular. Nobody talks about it I still want to talk about it. That's why I'm making this video I want to bring up this conversation and see what you guys think do you still love the Mosin Do you have a Mosin do you cherish it or did you let it go because you said I'm not paying that much for a Once very inexpensive ammo if you like videos like this, please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button Thanks for watching and you guys be safe
