Gun Passed Down From My Pops
Posted on 7/1/13 at 12:03 pm
Posted on 7/1/13 at 12:03 pm
Wanted to share one of the guns my Pops gave me over the weekend. I'm no aficionado by any means but I know there are a few on this site who might be able to share a little knowledge on it.

The little bit I have read on it is that it's an early 1900's Russian military rifle. It has 7.62x54 stamped on it and is in great shape. I could care less if it's worth a dollar or 10,000 because it was handed down from my Pops. And one day, my son will have it but that's still a ways off because he's only 7.
Speaking of that, sometime around his birth Dad bought him a Henry Golden Boy. I brought it back too and will give it to my son next week for his birthday as a gift from his Pa-Paw (read: Pow Pow)...lol. Of course it's NIB and unfired.
Anyway, your thoughts on the Mosin Nagant are appreciated.

If that is a hex receiver, some people consider that more collectible.
A very long internet classic:
AR15: You can pick off prairie dogs at 300 meters all day long
AK47: You can pick off a deer pretty easy at 300 meters
Mosin-Nagant: You get out of your truck, see an elk on top of a hill, and realize you really can use iron sights that far.
AR15: You measure your misses by sub MOA measurements
AK47: You miss and, and aim a bit lower this time.
Mosin-Nagant: Even if you miss the shockwave of the bullet will kill the animal.
AR15: You are careful to keep in clean in the field.
AK47: You don’t worry so much about some dirt getting in it.
Mosin-Nagant: It still has gritty grease inside it from when the Finnish army put it into storage.
AR15: Your bayonet will do an alright job of butchering your kill if needed.
AK47: The bayonet doubles as a decent hunting knife.
Mosin-Nagant: Your bayonet can be used to spit roast an entire pig.
AR15: Nice and light for carrying over obstructions.
AK47: Handy package for carrying over obstructions.
Mosin-Nagant: You can pole vault over obstructions.
AR15: Can’t run dry or you get seizure.
AK47: Can run dry, but may cause laquered ammo to stick in chamber.
Mosin-Nagant: Just handling the bolt gives it enough oil to operate smoothly.

I bought mine for 90 bucks just cause it was a gun for 90 bucks. 
It actually shoots really good and is kinda cool.
I got mine from a place that bought a whole crate. It also had those big tuna cans of ammo and the little key that you are supposed to used to open said tuna can. Yea I don't see how in the world anyone in freezing temps was able to use that key to open it. We started using a big knife after about two minutes.

One gun I sort of want but do not have.
Posted on 7/1/13 at 1:34 pm to GeauxTigers0107
I have several and they shoot just fine. They are worth less than $200 unless it is a Finn which is better made and more accurate and would be worth $400+. Just hang on to it and shoot it some and pass it on.

Deacon....hilarious stuff. Read every one.
Teyeger
Awesome...the more I read about it, the more stuff like this I find out.
Rompus
I think I'm gonna print that chart out and hang it under the gun in my man cave....

Apparently they aren't very expensive. Check your ashtray for loose change and go buy you one
Yewkindewit
That is exactly the plan.
Thanks for the comments guys. Sorry for not getting back sooner but I got called out of the house.

Indeed, it's basically a .308.
People that talk about the kick apparently have never shot a 30-06 - much less a 300 win mag.
The thing is it has a steel buttplate and a very shot LOP. That combo will punch you good if you don't hold it properly.
I picked up one and the 440 round ammo tin and extras for $180. The pig sticker can also be used for opening the ammo can. It shoots just fine, but the beauty of the gun is its simplicity. All of the 'technology' is in the bolt. A friend of mine has the carbine, and while it seems to kick a little arder, anyone who shoots a 12 ga. won't have any problems with any of these rifles.
And BTW, OP, you've got the bayonette on upside down. You need to rotate it to clear the front sight.
Enjoy.

The Mosin was the main infantry battle rifle for the Russians in WWI and WWII. A better comparison would be to what other WWII era infantry rilfles were using, like the Garand's 30-06 (far right):
I think that's why so many complain about the recoil of the Mosins, they're used to shooting .223s or some shite.

I realized that when I went to pull it off but I didn't feel like putting it back on, taking another pic and loading it with the others. I actually thought someone would have caught that sooner.

I wanted to add one other point on shooting the Mosin - shoot it. It's fun.
BUT, a LOT of the ammo for it uses corrosive primers (in non-reloadable steel cases). That requires an extra step to clean the bore in that you want to use an ammonia soaked patch first (the legend is that Russian soldiers used to piss down the barrel to clean it) and then go to your Hoppes and clean as usual.
Check the bore often and make sure it's shiny. And don't be afraid to shoot cheap ammo - after all, that's what the Russians used.

This. I thought the Mosin was going to be tough, but it's much easier to handle than my M1 Garand.

And the Mosin weighs a ton so the recoil is not all that bad. It is a rifle, it kicks.
funny 22 shooters are funny
