My father did the amphibious landing at Inchon. He brought back a Mosin from that beach. I was given the rifle as a kid ( I am 72, now) and have fired hundreds of rounds through it. It has a built in folding bayonet. As a very young kid I pushed crayons through it pretending they were bullets, which may have helped preserve the rifling. An interesting and beloved souvenir of war.
If its anything like mine: It will be sighted in for when the bayonet is attached. Without it the shots will be off in a diagonal direction (I forget which) due to how the barrel shakes from the shock of firing and that being different with/without the bayonet. I remember it being off by 4-8 inches or so at 100 yards. The vertical can be adjusted already with the built in sights, but in order to change the horizontal point of aim you gotta physically knock the front sight by smacking it. If you don't have a brass hammer then take some other (not steel) object as a guide and use that to drift the front sight post. Other than the obvious point of aim issue you may have a bolt that becomes incredibly difficult to open after a few shots. The first thing is to make sure it's entirely clean (when I bought mine it was coated in cosmoline), other than that check for manufacturing defects along the surface of the bolt that turn when you open it. If it's any consolation then there are films of WW2 soldiers having to smack their Mosin bolts open so you're in good company @@noname-lc3ms
+xLADIES MANx13 There was no need for this comment other than the fact you wanted to stir up trouble on the internet. On he other hand I want one of the these rifles, it would look nice sitting next to my Kar98.
Very nice, I bought myself one for my birthday a couple years ago and boy did I get a gem. I think the gentlemen at the shop noticed it was my birthday and actually offered to get one from their warehouse instead of the ones that they had on hand. I almost said no, but I decided to take a chance. I ended up getting a VERY good condition 1927 Izhevsk. I mean this thing is in GREAT condition. All numbers match except the magazine, and that's including the bayonet. The bore looks almost like it has never been shot or maybe had only a few magazines through it. I definitely scored with this purchase. I actually purchased the rifle to do a sporter project. But when I seen what I got, there was no way I could tear it up. It is way too clean to destroy.
Years ago Big5 sporting goods was selling them for $95. They had gotten in a nice '27 hex receiver in great shape and I grabbed it. Told My boss who went down and got a hex for himself. Seems that store got a batch of early ones in really nice shape, should have gotten a couple more! Later I picked up a '37 in really nice shape and well made, so that's fine.
.mlh My father in law bought me one 2 years ago for my birthday. He ended up buying himself one as well. We both ended up with ones that hadn't been fired. Cleaned them up, swapped out the stock, and added eye-relief scopes...ours are extremely accurate. I just put a green light on mine for hog hunting here in Texas. I noticed several people complaining about the bolt-action....little side note to them would be to clean the gun and add a little gun oil to the slide.
Izhevsk models are great. Some complain that the finish from later years of production isn’t the best, but that’s about it; they work perfectly. By the sounds of it, this one seems both beautiful and functional :)
The best feature about the mosin nagant is that it takes glock mags and ak47 mags and ar15 mags. Its fully semi automatic. Tends to jam up with drum mags though. Not a bad shotgun.
I'm so proud that Mosin was born 25 miles northern city I live. It is village Ramon, Suburban area of Voronezh. Do you know he was from peasant family? Very-low class origin he had. Despite it, he successfuly graduated artillery school. So pity that there is no any museum of Mosin in the place where he lived. And there even his house has not been preserved. I hope you've got a lot of pleasure shooting from Mosin rifle
@@kbutcher357 My Finn Capture 1925 Tula M91 really loves the Bayonet from my 1943 Izshevek 91/30 snaps on and off smooth like butter. just can't say the same about the 91/30 as it won't fit at least I bought another bayonet maybe I'll try to fit that one to it.
I love the sound of the receiver chambering another round, especially during reloading. It's got a wonderfully whole firing sound and it's a pretty stable rifle.
I had a Mauser and now I have a 1926 hex Mosin. The Mosin is a lot more accurate, probably due to the better sights and longer 28" barrel. These things can drive 7.62 tacks at nearly 5.56 velocity.

Nothing comes near kar98 (German iconic engineering marble) in terms of accuracy. Lee Enfield comes second in my list. But mosin is one of the best looking Snifer rifle.
@@janmejaypanda5414 I love the SMLE Enfield I have. 600 yards no scope is the farthest I can hit target 2ft by 2ft. M1 Garand I can’t hit anything past 150 yards. Mosin is the next one I buy. Kar 98 is pricey but on my list, along with Carcano and Springfield.
most mosins aren't accurate compared to other rifles of the same action. they weren't usually meant to be. Unlike the British, German, and American rifles, Russia just made most of their guns fast and cheap. then selected better performing ones from the lines as "accuracy rifles". the exception was a line that was produces in smaller amounts with a reduced bore.
@@DoraTheMFDestroyaAccuracy is greatly overrated in a general infantry context. When these rifles were being produced in the late 19th / early 20th century, they were overwhelmingly being used with iron sights. The Mosin is about a 3 MOA rifle, so even at 300 yards the radius by which it will miss is up to about 4.5 inches. If aimed center mass, a gun with that accuracy will always hit a human target. With iron sights, it’s difficult to aim at a person from beyond 300 meter anyways, especially if they are in cover. In other words, a 1 or 2 MOA accuracy found on Western bolt-action rifles of the same period would have been wasted without a scope, and infantrymen were not issued scopes. Heck, even the scopes that did exist were much worse than ones we have today. On the other hand, the cost savings which were obtained by the less stringent manufacturing standards allowed Russia to produce more rifles and equip more soldiers for the same amount of money spent, which definitely has a greater impact on the war effort than a marginally more accurate infantry rifle. That’s the reason the USA today is using $600 3 MOA M-16s rather than $2,000 0.5 MOA M-16s with AR-15 parts.
How you liking the sights? I've been hesitating looking at Mausers or Mosins because the sights kinda looked hard to find compared to LE apature sights which 1903 also has.
@@ashfox7498 not the easiest to adjust to. I don't shoot it too frequently, so I choose to shoot shorter range to stay within the target area. The bigger problem has been with the consistency of ammo. Doesn't matter which brand, I find 1 in 20 sometimes more like 3 in 20 fail to spark by the firing pin. Of course each time, have to carefully diagnose to make sure they don't ignite while removing the round.
Germany: *invades France* French People: 00:00 Edit: Guys, take a joke. I wouldn't assume a crowd such as y'all would be so sensitive. Bonus Edit: "comment thief." Bruh shup up. Its an easy joke to make. No one owns it.
I do have to say, with what they had they put up a pretty good fight. And don't forget, they were the ones keeping the germans at bay at dunkirk long enough for the british to escape.
You've barely found Hickok45? Man, you've been missing out! Many of us have been following this man for years haha! You should see him with a glock at 200+ yards. Hitting his steel gong over and over once he finds his hold. Very knowledgeable and a GREAT shot.
I just had a Mosin given to me for Father's day, it is my first rifle and I absolutely love it. I did some research and found out that mine was made in 1898 in the Tula Ordnance Factory. Super cool rifle.
does it have a hex shaped receiver? You got a really nice one, the ones made before the revolution, the ones made when Russia was still under a monarchy, are really high build quality.
I always say it "Moy-sin knee-gant" I have one made in 1943, I love it, it holds up, it's well crafted and there is vertually no kick at all, and the kicker, it comes with a bayonet and 4 ammo pouches and disasymbly kit. Thanks for reading!
This was my first gun, paid $100 for a brand new cosmoline coated beauty and it was a surprisingly soft shooting, accurate firearm. Couldn’t have been happier. Get that steel case surplus and it was a very economical range day.
@@jioshu22 - "Decently cheap ammo" would be handloads. Military surplus ammo often has Berdan primers and cannot be reloaded. They also tend to be corrosive.
Just a few days ago I picked up a VERY clean numbers matching Izhevsk M44 and 410 rounds of ammo for $400. Considering everything else I'd seen up to that point was bare minimum $300 for not being in very good shape, I feel good about this purchase as long as I don't let myself think about what the price would have been 10 years ago
Have had my 1942' of this model since 2002' Still have some boxes of soft tip, we used to do firing squad lines to race & split 4"x4"s Albanian ammo was easiest to procure.
My dad has a Mosin Nagant and I'll tell you one thing, unlike how it seems in the video here, it has a pretty unforgiving kick when you shoot it with a plain stock. We put a rubber pad on it so now the recoil is less painful, and it's actually fun to shoot. :) Also, unlike the cameras sharp microphone quality in the video, the shot from a Mosin Nagant is more of a thudding *BOOM*, really majestic sounding rifle. Gotta love 7.62x54! ~ but seriously, if you're getting a Mosin Nagant, get a rubber pad for the stock, your shoulder will thank you.
ColdWarWarriors except those buyers weren't exactly happy, they needed a lot more than just millions of them. Russia thought "one rifle for each man" which really fucked them over. The rifles were usually in terrible condition by the time they saw actual combat, so Russia had to rely on America
Steven Joyner No... Many people refer to this thing as the garbage rod. It was designed cheap, and it is cheap. Don't get me wrong, the Mosin is great, but not because it's *great*. It's because its CHEAP... The Mosin's were not very accurate a lot of the time. Some were relatively accurate, and some were horribly inaccurate... (But most being generally innacurate). Because there were manufacturing variances, can you tell me why? Oh, because it was mass produced to be cheap you say? Sounds about right.
Smugg Papa learn some history. Americans produced them for Russian because they couldn't make that many rifles they needed. And also this is before the communism so US and Russia weren't enemies yet, but rather a good friends. Russians sold Alaska to the US, remember?
ShaDOWDoG667 But on the other hand, legitimately defending yourself with a bolt-action is even ballsier and doing so successfully makes you a boss. Hands down.
FenceDaGreat well, you can defend yourself with a bolt action against some dude trying to rob you pretty easily, actually. It is long, very hard, and can probably break somebody's face into splinters when swung hard.
Commander KaMPFSuPPe superior firepower comes as a result of having more vodka-drinking fellas with “good enough” rifles against a lesser number of beer chugging dudes with kickass Mausers. I.e stalingrad, kursk etc
For those who don’t read Russian. “I love this rifle, everything is great in it! Nice sound, shooting, reloading, cleaning. Very good rifle, I advise everyone!”
I don't understand the logic of "if there's a lot of them, then it's not good." If they made a lot of them, then doesn't that mean it was REALLY freaking good?
BurgerFred1 high production numbers is not equal to good quality, they made a lot of them out of necessity and after ww2 occupied Eastern European countries and communist China would only produce the mosin (until they got the technical package for the SKS and AK)
Church Owl precisely- I’ve also found that it matters about time of manufacturing and factory of origin. My mosin is an early model from a good factory so it’s very accurate and works amazingly. I’ve also seen mosins made 10 years later that suck.
That is exactly the case. Russian designs and production is typical rugged, simple, durable, easy to manufacture, requires least maintenance possible. Numbers made is simply due to needing to keep people employed, so they kept cranking them out, then went to sks, then ak - all same thing. People need jobs.
I dont know how accurate he is, but Brandon Herrera who has a youtube channel focused on klashnikov products explains that at least with the AK many of the soviet models hold up better than american made versions. Simply because the sheer volume the made them in allowed them to cut billet parts instead of stamped or cast, whereas smaller more modern companies often are working with thinner tolerances for production and profit and need to cut corners and used stamped parts to bring price down and make profit on manufacturing.
Hails to you Hickok45.I was raised by anti-gun parents, so only at age 26 have I been able to begin teaching myself about guns via first hand experience. I have had help along the way, but I have watched your videos a lot and have learned a lot. Keep up the informative videos, for it helps a guy like me a lot.
He’s the luckiest man in the world as far as I’m concerned. The Islamic world here in the Middle East love watching all of your videos ! Love from Karachi Pakistan 🇵🇰
about 10 years ago these rifles were available by the crate load. They were only $69.95 and came with bayonet, cleaning kit, and a sling. I have both the round and hexigonal receiver types. Outstanding rifle a lot of fun to shoot.
In 2019 now if you’re watching this or later these start at 300 now, they are rare now, including sks and most mil surplus guns. This gun is very accurate at almost all ranges from my field testing
hate to burst your bubble but a gun that was produced in the millions 4.5 to be exact isn't rare now some of the variants are. Go watch iraqveteran8888 video titled what makes a mosin rare
M4: Used by elite forces to fight dirty terrorists. Ak: Used by dirty terrorists to fight elite forces. Mosin-Nagant: Used by armies and poor farmers to fight armies and poor farmers.
I was so glad to see someone who was honest about the rifle. It is a fun, little thing to shoot. It is not intended to change the battlefield, no, but it served its purpose. I hear people call others fanboys and such, then saying that the Mauser is so much better. Yes, it is, it has a better design and function, but when comparing a rifle to the Mauser, it says little about the other rifle. Thank you for the video, keep it up, sir!
I have a mosin nagant that saw action in WW2 and my grandfather ended up with it. It now has a Monte Carlo stock that is engraved and the barrel is engraved from back to front. Thanks for the video and preserving a little history.
With my Mosin (91/30) the tight bolt was due to the cosmoline they used to store the gun. Takes only a small amount and as soon as the gun heats up the bolt sticks requiring you to use the "mosin slap" technique. Took just a thorough tear down and cleaning of the bolt to fix the issue. Now it runs great.
@ODST 4 Life if you hear of anyone that has one that is not accurate tell them to try surplus ammo. New factory ammo is sometimes not as accurate. The bores vary quite a bit. The surplus ammo uses an open base bullet that will expand to the bore and help quite a bit with accuracy.
Great rifles. My very first rifle was a Mosin m44 I purchased from big 5 sporting goods for 79$ or something like that, with the Ammo cases, grease container, field tool kit and it still had grease packed inside everywhere, never fired as far as I could tell. I took it to an old timer to help me adjust the front sight and it was dead on accurate till I finally sold it a few years later thinking I could just go get another for 100$ any time I wanted lol 😆. Here we are Thursday March 10th 2022 in what may be the beginning of ww3. Im getting ready to order another mosin just to have. I'm looking at paying around 800$ for one of the finnish modified varieties.
What a beautiful rifle , i dont know why people call it a not so beautiful rifle , its literally the most beautiful rifle i have ever seen You Americans are so lucky that you can possess firearms
I have a mozin myself and I love it. The front sits we're good for left or right but I had to move the rear sits up to the 200yard range to hit the 100 yard range, and it's accurate! I can hit a gulf ball at 100 yards most of the time. I would like to find another one to modify it for a scope, but I want to keep the one I now have original
I have been an avid collector of these rifles and I was told by experts that all of the 91/30's were sighted with the bayonet on because the the Russian military says the bayonet is to be kept attached at all times when you shoot it without the bayonet the harmonics change the point of impact of the bullets this also applies with the m-44's as well
The Mosin is great for a collection, but if you want to sporterize it, there is a little more work required than many other rifles. One of the issues involves fitting a new sporter stock. To prevent damaging the screw heads from multiple screwing and unscrewing them while fitting the stock, it is best to have a set of stockmakers screws. I could not find any available, nor could I find threading dies for that strange metric thread. Little Machine Shop came to the rescue. On their website they have free software that lets you calculate what change gears are needed for any mini lathe for any thread that is not too big for the lathe. The business end of the stockmakers screws is patterned after the existing screws and the handle portion can be copied from Mauser or other easy to find stockmakers screws. Have fun!
91/30s shoot a bit off because they are made to be shot with the bayonet on. The way the bayonet mounts on the tip of the barrel actually changes the point of impact. So sight in with or without and be aware that where you aim will be different with it on or off.
Because in the late 1800's when this firearm was designed, trench warfare was the norm. You shot your rounds then charged in. It was more efficient to design the firearm and train the soldiers to operate with the bayonet in place.
I have had the bolt get real tight when firing these a lot in one session. burnt through a spam can of ammo, bruised my palm slamming the bolt around. no misfires and accurate shooting. my hand gave out first
You really shouldn't be doing any extensive shooting any centerfire rifle bigger than .223 unless you have a recoil shield, such as the PAST, strapped to your shoulder. It's not about being tough or manly, it's about soft tissue damage, torn rotator cuffs, and with very heavy calibers, even detached retinas. Anything more than 20 rounds at one sitting, and you are exposing your body to surprising amount of risk that WILL catch up with you as you age.
Yep. I bought 2 with round receivers about 10 years ago for about $90 apiece. A couple years later I found a hex receiver for about $160. You don't even get a smell of one for that now. I wish I had more money at the time to buy them but I am glad I at least got what I did. I ended up giving one of the round receivers to my friend for his birthday.
I have one that I've never fired. My dad gave it to me a couple of years ago, right before he tossed it into the dumpster. It's a Chinese model that my dad brought back from the Vietnam war. It's a carbine with a folding bayonet. I'm hoping to get it checked out and to the range in the near future. I will add that he was about to trash it because he knew nothing about it. The Military Arms Channel actually posted an article that involved building a budget precision rifle base upon a Mosin.
Rorbert Williamson I think my wasr 10 has more recoil than my m44. Picked it up for $50 from a friend, bore's all shot out and I've never been able to get it to group but it's loads of fun. I'm probably going to check out the next gunshow in my area and see if I can't find a hex receiver 91/30.

With iron sights, it’s difficult to aim at a person from beyond 300 meter anyways, especially if they are in cover. In other words, a 1 or 2 MOA accuracy found on Western bolt-action rifles of the same period would have been wasted without a scope, and infantrymen were not issued scopes. Heck, even the scopes that did exist were much worse than ones we have today.
On the other hand, the cost savings which were obtained by the less stringent manufacturing standards allowed Russia to produce more rifles and equip more soldiers for the same amount of money spent, which definitely has a greater impact on the war effort than a marginally more accurate infantry rifle.
That’s the reason the USA today is using $600 3 MOA M-16s rather than $2,000 0.5 MOA M-16s with AR-15 parts.
Nothing wrong with these guns, have seen 2 major wars and some smaller conflicts, VERY reliable! EASY to load up too...
Depending on the individual rifle maker and country they can actually be very hard to load
also currently in use by the russian army in ukraine - in small numbers, mostly given to the cannon fodder.
@@sweetcellvids YES I have heard this as well, handed to mostly untrained volunteers!!

How you liking the sights? I've been hesitating looking at Mausers or Mosins because the sights kinda looked hard to find compared to LE apature sights which 1903 also has.
@@ashfox7498 not the easiest to adjust to. I don't shoot it too frequently, so I choose to shoot shorter range to stay within the target area. The bigger problem has been with the consistency of ammo. Doesn't matter which brand, I find 1 in 20 sometimes more like 3 in 20 fail to spark by the firing pin. Of course each time, have to carefully diagnose to make sure they don't ignite while removing the round.

The first rifle I ever bought. Will always keep.
I just had a Mosin given to me for Father's day, it is my first rifle and I absolutely love it. I did some research and found out that mine was made in 1898 in the Tula Ordnance Factory. Super cool rifle.
I was in Tula Small Arms Museum and they had first production Mosins 1891-1899, which are very valuable. You have a collector's dream. 😮
does it have a hex shaped receiver?
You got a really nice one, the ones made before the revolution, the ones made when Russia was still under a monarchy, are really high build quality.
I always say it "Moy-sin knee-gant"
I have one made in 1943, I love it, it holds up, it's well crafted and there is vertually no kick at all, and the kicker, it comes with a bayonet and 4 ammo pouches and disasymbly kit. Thanks for reading!

"Relatively inexpensive" - fast forward 10 years and ones in good condition are now 700+
I got one for 340 with taxes included. We get 8.5%. Its in mint condition, 1941, with bayonet,all numbers matching
Just got a carbine variant mint for $500. With the gun shortage, 7.62x54r is some of the only decently cheap ammo out there.
@@jioshu22 - "Decently cheap ammo" would be handloads. Military surplus ammo often has Berdan primers and cannot be reloaded. They also tend to be corrosive.

Ten years later and they have more than tripled in price :(
That’s just the pandemic producing more hobbyists
When I was 18 years old in like 2012 I bought one for 185 bucks...still my favorite buy of all time.
Just a few days ago I picked up a VERY clean numbers matching Izhevsk M44 and 410 rounds of ammo for $400. Considering everything else I'd seen up to that point was bare minimum $300 for not being in very good shape, I feel good about this purchase as long as I don't let myself think about what the price would have been 10 years ago

My dad has a Mosin Nagant and I'll tell you one thing, unlike how it seems in the video here, it has a pretty unforgiving kick when you shoot it with a plain stock. We put a rubber pad on it so now the recoil is less painful, and it's actually fun to shoot. :)
Also, unlike the cameras sharp microphone quality in the video, the shot from a Mosin Nagant is more of a thudding *BOOM*, really majestic sounding rifle. Gotta love 7.62x54!

One of the all time greats, a legend. 37 million made, 37 million happy customers.
ColdWarWarriors except those buyers weren't exactly happy, they needed a lot more than just millions of them. Russia thought "one rifle for each man" which really fucked them over. The rifles were usually in terrible condition by the time they saw actual combat, so Russia had to rely on America
Smugg Neo except for the fact that these are reliable rifles. Some war captured rifles still hitting targets at 800m off iron sights.
Steven Joyner No... Many people refer to this thing as the garbage rod. It was designed cheap, and it is cheap. Don't get me wrong, the Mosin is great, but not because it's *great*. It's because its CHEAP...
The Mosin's were not very accurate a lot of the time. Some were relatively accurate, and some were horribly inaccurate... (But most being generally innacurate). Because there were manufacturing variances, can you tell me why? Oh, because it was mass produced to be cheap you say? Sounds about right.
Partly that and Priority was given to who they were assigned too.
Smugg Papa learn some history. Americans produced them for Russian because they couldn't make that many rifles they needed. And also this is before the communism so US and Russia weren't enemies yet, but rather a good friends. Russians sold Alaska to the US, remember?

I don't understand the logic of "if there's a lot of them, then it's not good."
If they made a lot of them, then doesn't that mean it was REALLY freaking good?
BurgerFred1 high production numbers is not equal to good quality, they made a lot of them out of necessity and after ww2 occupied Eastern European countries and communist China would only produce the mosin (until they got the technical package for the SKS and AK)
More like “they were made/used for a long time”
Church Owl precisely- I’ve also found that it matters about time of manufacturing and factory of origin. My mosin is an early model from a good factory so it’s very accurate and works amazingly. I’ve also seen mosins made 10 years later that suck.
That is exactly the case. Russian designs and production is typical rugged, simple, durable, easy to manufacture, requires least maintenance possible. Numbers made is simply due to needing to keep people employed, so they kept cranking them out, then went to sks, then ak - all same thing. People need jobs.
I dont know how accurate he is, but Brandon Herrera who has a youtube channel focused on klashnikov products explains that at least with the AK many of the soviet models hold up better than american made versions. Simply because the sheer volume the made them in allowed them to cut billet parts instead of stamped or cast, whereas smaller more modern companies often are working with thinner tolerances for production and profit and need to cut corners and used stamped parts to bring price down and make profit on manufacturing.

I was so glad to see someone who was honest about the rifle. It is a fun, little thing to shoot. It is not intended to change the battlefield, no, but it served its purpose. I hear people call others fanboys and such, then saying that the Mauser is so much better. Yes, it is, it has a better design and function, but when comparing a rifle to the Mauser, it says little about the other rifle. Thank you for the video, keep it up, sir!
It definitely was intended to charge the battle field, just way back 1891, that's what the bayonet was for.

With my Mosin (91/30) the tight bolt was due to the cosmoline they used to store the gun. Takes only a small amount and as soon as the gun heats up the bolt sticks requiring you to use the "mosin slap" technique. Took just a thorough tear down and cleaning of the bolt to fix the issue. Now it runs great.

@ODST 4 Life if you hear of anyone that has one that is not accurate tell them to try surplus ammo. New factory ammo is sometimes not as accurate. The bores vary quite a bit. The surplus ammo uses an open base bullet that will expand to the bore and help quite a bit with accuracy.

Just like any other bolt-action infantry rifle of that era.
That was so refreshing to watch. Back when everyone didn't do mil-surp and it was still reasonably priced.
This was the first rifle I ever shot. My dad had one. Such a beautiful gun.
I have been an avid collector of these rifles and I was told by experts that all of the 91/30's were sighted with the bayonet on because the the Russian military says the bayonet is to be kept attached at all times when you shoot it without the bayonet the harmonics change the point of impact of the bullets this also applies with the m-44's as well
Wow didn’t know that
Captain Mosin, Leon Nagant, learned something new today.
The Mosin is great for a collection, but if you want to sporterize it, there is a little more work required than many other rifles. One of the issues involves fitting a new sporter stock. To prevent damaging the screw heads from multiple screwing and unscrewing them while fitting the stock, it is best to have a set of stockmakers screws. I could not find any available, nor could I find threading dies for that strange metric thread. Little Machine Shop came to the rescue. On their website they have free software that lets you calculate what change gears are needed for any mini lathe for any thread that is not too big for the lathe. The business end of the stockmakers screws is patterned after the existing screws and the handle portion can be copied from Mauser or other easy to find stockmakers screws. Have fun!
91/30s shoot a bit off because they are made to be shot with the bayonet on. The way the bayonet mounts on the tip of the barrel actually changes the point of impact. So sight in with or without and be aware that where you aim will be different with it on or off.
Why would the Russians do a crazy thing like that?
Because in the late 1800's when this firearm was designed, trench warfare was the norm. You shot your rounds then charged in. It was more efficient to design the firearm and train the soldiers to operate with the bayonet in place.

You really shouldn't be doing any extensive shooting any centerfire rifle bigger than .223 unless you have a recoil shield, such as the PAST, strapped to your shoulder. It's not about being tough or manly, it's about soft tissue damage, torn rotator cuffs, and with very heavy calibers, even detached retinas. Anything more than 20 rounds at one sitting, and you are exposing your body to surprising amount of risk that WILL catch up with you as you age.

Yep. I bought 2 with round receivers about 10 years ago for about $90 apiece. A couple years later I found a hex receiver for about $160. You don't even get a smell of one for that now. I wish I had more money at the time to buy them but I am glad I at least got what I did. I ended up giving one of the round receivers to my friend for his birthday.
I really want one! I think it might be my next purchase.
I have one that I've never fired. My dad gave it to me a couple of years ago, right before he tossed it into the dumpster.
It's a Chinese model that my dad brought back from the Vietnam war. It's a carbine with a folding bayonet. I'm hoping to get it checked out and to the range in the near future.
I will add that he was about to trash it because he knew nothing about it. The Military Arms Channel actually posted an article that involved building a budget precision rifle base upon a Mosin.
this one looks brand new and unfired. a really good find.
Thanks Rorbert Williamson. Even if it doesn't function, it's sentimental nonetheless.
