History in Firearms
United States
Приєднався 3 лис 2013
Firearms have a rich history and my hope is to share some of that history with viewers. This history can be found both in characteristics of or markings on firearms, along with how the firearms functioned and were used. Shooting military surplus firearms gives you a brief glimpse in to the past through a tangible piece of history. I think about what it would have been like to use these tools and what challenges there might have been or how they compare to subsequent military arms.

Shooting a M91/30 Mosin-Nagant
The 3-Line rifle Model 1891, commonly referred to as the Mosin-Nagant, was adopted by the Russian Empire in 1891. In 1930 a new variant was standardized and adopted as the M1891/30. It is a turn bolt rifle chambered for the 7.62x54R cartridge and saw service through WWII and well beyond. This is the most prolific variant of the M1891 and millions were produced.

Recently was given a sporterized smle I'm in the process of rebuilding and man this video is showing me parts I didn't even know about
I had to delay releasing this video because when I was researching it, I found that my rifle was missing piece and had to find replacements. 😁 Godspeed on your project, it's a noble one.
Steyr M95 für die Patrone 8x56R M30 ungarisch. Standardwaffe der K&K Armee im 1.WK.
Yep 👍
空挺隊の保有していた99式小銃ですね とても珍しい
Which Type 99?
@@HistoryinFirearms ごめんなさい 間違えました 私は99式小銃の動画にコメントしたつもりでした😅
People say not to dry fire it, what are your thoughts?
Or you can just hit the mag well button and drop all the rounds at the bottom
That is also an option.
this is the best video on how to do this thsnk you
Thank you and you're welcome!
It's actually called Kar98k and not K98k, because the Great K alone stands in the Wehrmacht for Kanone (Canon), The Problem had the MKB 42, firstly it was called MP 42 but duo to the Caliber it was renamed to Karabiner 42 and make the mistake to use K42, so they renamed it again to Maschinenkarabiner 42, firstly as MK42 and than MKB42.
The Garbage Root. The Mauser 98 System is better, The Saftey, the Strip ejector, The bolt that consists of only one piece, the faster repeating, the quality (especially the pre-war models before the 2nd World War), the magazine which is smaller than the Mosin, this is due to the miserable rim cartridge that the Mosin fires. The only thing the Mosin is good for is the low price. Try to change my Mind.
I feel like my sling is a little longer than some. I followed this video and a few others to the exact details, and I still can’t tighten mine all the way like that. The only way I can get it right is if I take the short strap forks and extend them over and passed the long strap forks and into some of the further holes, which in my case seems to be the ones that are literally on the loop of strap coming out of the front sling swivel.
ज्ञानवर्धक बहुत अच्छा video
Thanks!
Good video
Thank you!
Or just change out the magazine for a full one. Right... Well you could. I have.
That is also an option. 👍
Look a that thing vibrate, I can't believe they built this decades after the MP5
With all the plastic, it looks like a toy compared to an MP5, which I would take over this any day.
I took one of my Mosins out this Summer. It had been a while. Good video. Great slo-mo. That looked like copper-washed cased ammunition.
This inspires me to clean my Type 99 this weekend.
Glad to provide some motivation. 👍
Judging by the muzzle wear I've seen on Mosins, the muzzle cap mustve been the first thing lost when handing out cleaning kits
Haha that could be 😁
Cool. You can tell how much more effort is required running this bolt with its weird ergonomics and design compared to the superior Mauser/Springfields.
Yes, it's definitely no Mauser. Clunky and not smooth.
Children, now tell me what’s in the threleine from Nagan. The funny thing is that Fedorov discussed this nuance in his popular science book “The History of the Rifle.”
I suppose the Nagant revolver was also "three-line".
@@HistoryinFirearms What does this have to do with a revolver?
Дети, а теперь расскажите мне что в трехлинейке от Нагана. Самое забавное, что ещё Фёдоров в своей научно-популярной книге "История винтовки" сей нюанс разобрал. В 1938...
I suppose the Nagant revolver was also "three-line". (In Russian)
@@HistoryinFirearms But Mosin did not design the revolver. And a rifle is a slightly different weapon from a revolver. So what's in a Model 1891 rifle from Leon Nagant?
@@paracart_vyacheslav The revolver was from Nagant and was 7.62 which is "three-line" if I'm not mistaken. So I figured, one could say that it is in the three-line series from Nagnat.
@@HistoryinFirearms For the third time I ask: what exactly is in the 1891 model 3-line rifle from Nagant? There is no point in trying to play around with a Model 1895 revolver; it will only affect your reputation.
@@paracart_vyacheslav Sorry, Unfortunately I do not understand the question.
Turned 18 a few months ago and just got my PAL I’m about to go buy a MkIII tomorrow it will be my first gun so thanks for the guide
Congrats! A MkIII is a good first choice. Glad I could help on your journey!
👍
🤙
Nice job on the video overall. However, you said that "The ATF did not require import marks until 1986". This is incorrect, the addition of import marks was required by the Gun Control Act (GCA) of 1968, the idea being that the ATF could go to a manufacturer with a serial number and trace the gun down through sales to the end purchaser. So that is 18 years earlier. This is specified in Section 923(i) of the GCA 1968. There is a readable summary here: www.federalregister.gov/documents/2001/08/03/01-19418/identification-markings-placed-on-firearms-98r-341p
Nice review. Not good enough for me but the price is sure right.
Thanks! As they say, you get what you pay for.
Seven rounds ejected.
Yep. The manual says you can do that, but I wouldn't recommend it.
Well done.
Thank you!
Thanks
You are welcome!
All of that short strap looping through the buckles is ridiculous. LOL What a fiddly design. They actually expect soldiers to do that to make a loop sling😂😂😂
Yeah, I agree, it's a bit much. I think this is why you essentially never hear about this sling.
I purchased one recently I want to see if it will fit the M1903 as the launcher for that one is extremely rare.
Yeah those are a bit pricey. Unfortunately the M7 will not fit on a 1903.
Jesus, no wonder it was called the Last Ditch
This one has all the bells and whistles and is early production, so not 'last ditch'.
@@HistoryinFirearms still, seeing the brass casings not always eject properly is hard to watch.
@@blon-della9355 Ah yes, I need a new ejector spring.
@@HistoryinFirearms I thought that was just a problem that all type 99 Arisakas had.
Disassembly the m1 garand affect POI and accuracy with this methode?
That is a good question! I don't believe so, but I have not tried it. That may be a good video. 🤔
Thank you.
You are welcome!
That sling looks like cardboard… c’mon! 😂
Yeah, it's not one of the higher quality reproduction. 🤷♂️
Thank you so much, this video was extremely helpful, just attached the sling on my SMLE right now
Glad to help!
I got one donated from Ethiopia and I cleaned it up. It's been saved from Bubba for the next century and a half if I have anything to say about it
Nice! If that rifle could talk!
Great video!!
Thanks!
In terms of ease of installation and usability, how does the M1923 compare to the Kerr No-Buckl Sling?
I think the Kerr sling is better.
How did you make it so the follower doesn't come up too high for the bolt to close
I didn't close the bolt with the empty magazine.
Some rifles also have the followers ground away at an angle which allows the bolt to ride over on an empty magazine. Seems like a pretty common modification on M1917s
@@noahqiu8016 yeah I've got another rifle that has something like that but on my 1917 Winchester it doesn't seem to have one
@@noahqiu8016 When I got this M1917 it had the back of the follower ground down as you mentioned. I have since replaced that follower and the one in the video does have the hold open.
👍
🤙
So it is like working the bolt as usual but don't pull the trigger? Ok
@@Clancy192 You push the bolt forward and back, but do not lock and close it. This allows the extractor to grab the case but does not cock the weapon.
@@HistoryinFirearms some people require further explanation. You said it and demonstrated it in the short; In an orderly, proficient, military manner.
@@Squib1911 Thanks!
An American-made reproduction of the sling is available. This is good for collectors and reenactors. Do you know if the sling was ever used on the Garand?
I used one of those reproductions for the video. They are well made. The sling was approved for the Garand and can be found in the TM. I do not know how much it was actually used on them though.
Lots of work to install the sling.
Very much so. This is probably why its use was limited.
Thank you for the instruction!
You are welcome!
My safn doesn’t have marking on the receiver. Do you know why?
Is it .30-06? Does the SN on the reciever start with GL?
@@HistoryinFirearms Yes it's 30-06, I don't see any GL, only a series number.
@@HistoryinFirearms I've got some new info about it. Looks like mine was ex-machine gun FN49 which the importer brought in the states back in 60s. They took off selector switch leaving two emptied holes on the trigger guard.
@@NgJackal1990 Ok, so based on that it is possibly a Luxembourg Gendarmerie AFN. There were only 100 of these made and only the first 50 did not have a receiver crest. These should have GL prefix to the serial number though. I highly recommend the book "The FN-49 - The Last Elegant Old World Military Rifle" by Wayne Johnson for information on the FN-49. There is a ton of interesting information in there. Its not a cheap book but its well worth the money if you want to learn about you rifle. Its on sale on Amazon now. Here is a link. amzn.to/4dnE2jX
@@HistoryinFirearms Thanks for your info. I've got told by people from the military surplus community that it could be a belgian made ex machine gun. I also got the previous info from Forgotten weapon's youtube.
Nice explanation of all points. The most useful description I've seen anywhere of how to use a patch in the chamber with the M3. Thanks!
Thank you and you are welcome!
Great info provided you know how to cock the weapon! 😊
Thanks! There is lots of good info in manuals :)
People don’t understand that there’s a reason why they were going to pick this carbine as the main service rifle. It’s reliable and accurate. It all comes down to training. Don’t spend 2 grand on an AR that’s just gonna sit in ur closet just to get wiped out by a peasant rifle(which is like 80% of the gun community I know)
The SKS is a quality carbine and underappreciated by the uninformed.
Carcano is a mark of quality in a rifle.
They are quality rifles. My biggest complaint is the safety.
I have yet to get my hands on one of these but it looks like an improvement over the m1907.
It's an improvement in material. I think it's more complicated to set for the loop sling if you are changing configurations.
@HistoryinFirearms yes. It definitely looks more complicated. I always prefer web to leather though, I think it's much better for military applications. A lot of my old leather slings haven't stood up well to harsh use.
@@KilljoyS60 Yes, leather takes a while to brake in and, especially in wet environments, it will not last as long.
I got 1 of these its a reproduction but the green bag has awful sewing job
The originals were made by the lowest bidder and don't have designer sewing either. 😁
@HistoryinFirearms I just got m1 garand 1943 for receiver and barrel and I just got done replacing all the springs, the brand new ejector spring was a pain in the ass worst then the hammer spring
@@TorryGood Congrats on your piece of history! Those can be tricky springs. I haven't taken a trigger group apart before.
@HistoryinFirearms receiver is november 1943 and barrel is December 1943 still has most its ww2 parts with danish stock, bolt is march 1942.
@@TorryGood Very nice!
Now. If I could just get the right sling off Ebay….😤
Can't find an M1 sling on there?
@@HistoryinFirearms have bought two. Both are supposed to be for Garand on 03A3. One too short and the other is missing a piece. Cost of returning them is not worth it. The short one I think is for a Grease Gun. Which I can only wish I had.
@@martinswiney2192 Oh man, yeah that is frustrating.
