"Hold your fire, patience. Sniping is just like hunting any other animal, fire at the wrong moment and your chance will be forever lost" -Viktor Reznov
@@smorgasbord9940 I'm going to create a wikipedia page about people killed by Mosins and intentionally not complete it so it says at the bottom: "This list is incomplete, you can *help by expanding it* "
There's a pretty good channel out there that does all kinds of experiments and shooting with his No4 and SMLE, as well as earlier British rifles like the Martini-Henry.
I'd also throw in a Russian contract Winchester 1895. I know it's a lever gun and it's probably rare to find today,but being used in WW1 (and to a lesser extent in WW2),it would be cool to see how it would compare to contemporary bolt guns.
I always heard that the marking denote paces rather than meters (which would be similar). Anyone else heard that? Also I would have liked Brandon to show the accuracy of the PU sniper. With good Russian ammo I can achieve sub-MOA at 100 yards.
This implies that scope just after thought, The existence of bended bolt handle are just sheer accident. And yes I will go for this theory from now on.
the reason it goes out to 2k is for massed infantry volley fire. you're aiming at the massed formation charging you from 2km(1 1/4 miles) away, not trying to send the enemy commander's Pickelhaube flying at that distance. its basically a holdover from the days of Napoleonic warfare, and hey, if the round "can" go that far, why not?
in a way that fucking terrefying, imagien your standing with your pals ready to march on the enemy city and suddenly some of your guys are falling over dead and hundreds of small dust pops apere around you and ends with a tiny sound of thunder.
@@bardedkgaming2529 Terrifying, but that's what makes it so useful. the best battles (for your side) are the ones where the enemy nopes right on out of there and routs before you take casualties.
@@bardedkgaming2529 If you look at Lee Enfield and Lee Metford rifles before and during the early years of WW1 they had the same idea with a 'volley sight' on the side of the rifle. You would use the front 'dial' to elevate the rifle to an approximate range and the rear peep sight to see through. The idea was that before belt-fed MGs you still wanted your troops to be able to lay a field of suppressing fire even if it was beyond the normal range your average rifleman might fire at. In principle it was similar to archers firing volleys of arrows in a beaten area, are all the projectiles going to find their mark? of course not, but if even a dozen out of a formation of 100+ men standing on line managed to hit their mark, that would still be perfectly acceptable at 2,000 meters.
Starving soviet worker on 20-hour shift in 1944: "It's for the cause. This gun will serve the motherland for a century!" 2021: Brandon shoots chicken nuggets with it.
i have a repro PU, and its actually one of my favorites. scope mount is a repro, but the scope itself is original, dated 1948 (rifle is '42). all things considered, its pretty damn clear. amazingly enough, its sub MOA with new 150 gr softies. it has spent the odd day here or there in the woods during hunting season
For anyone with a Mosin that has a hard to cycle bolt: sometimes it's cosmoline on the receiver lugs that you can't see. Fire a few rounds, cosmo gets hot, bolt is harder to cycle. The tip for that: take a shotgun bore brush, put it on a segment of cleaning rod without the handle on the end. Dip the bore brush in Hoppes, stick it into the receiver where the lugs are, and then chuck the cleaning rod into an electric drill and run it for 10 seconds. Clean the dried cosmoline out and the bolt won't stick nearly as bad after you fire a few rounds. Or maybe it will, wartime production stuff isn't known for high quality and your receiver and bolt lugs may not mate up well.
@@agoogleaccount2861 If your MN has rimlock you have a mechanical problem in the magazine. Take a look....there should be a little spring on the side that holds the cartridge under the one being fed so it's not pushing up hard against it which allows the top round to slide off without rimlock. When the bolt goes into battery this little spring is pushed back to release that round so it'll feed next then when the bolt is opened it grabs the next round...repeat. The cartridge rim is also angled to help prevent them binding together. I wish we had a class on how to run a bolt gun...not your fault Brandon...you're young, but in words: With open hand and palm facing up, smack bolt open with heel of hand, then cup hand around bolt and pull to rear. Turn hand around again with open hand shove bolt home and down to lock. No...'grab bolt knobbie with fingers thing. Try it...you'll like it!!
@@recoilrob324 wrong kinda rimlock. Rimlock during ejection of spent cartridge. Handle hard to lift chamber very tight. Little too new condition sometimes this happens with em especially with some of the combloc era satellite state produced surplus ammo. Maybe the rim runs .003 wider ? . Its the portion behind the chamber. You'll see some little imperfection where the rim scrapes. And rub marks. Just remove that so it doesn't rub and its good generally
i mean, its pretty hard to do much of anything when bullets are raining down upon your position. it forces the enemy to either retreat or attack, giving you the upper hand and forcing them to act on your time table, not theirs.
“I am a stone. I do not move. Very slowly, I put snow in my mouth. Then he won't see my breath. I take my time. I let him come closer. I have only one bullet. I aim at his eye. Very gently, my finger presses on the trigger. I do not tremble. I have no fear. I'm a big boy now. Ready Vassili? Now, Vassili, fire!”
Did you know; Vassili Zaitsev was a Russian Navy Pencil pusher before being moved into infantry service, also that Enemy Of The Gates is basically the Russian version of Braveheart, complete nonsense and no where near historically accurate
@@magoshighlands4074 true , was still a fckn Dancer of a movie though and the soundtrack is pretty on point too . Edit : I mean braveheart, enemy at the gates was pish
One of my Favorite WW2 sniper. I actually shot the Nagant plenty of times with friends. I love my American Rifles but the Russians knew how to make some beautiful and good rifles. Any WW2 Game that allows you to Snipe, The Mosin always is my Main Pick of a Sniper Rifle. Sniper Elite 2-4 are what I loved it in. I actually maxed mine in SE4. My Longest Shot on SE4 is carried out by one
Что довольно странно,Брэндон не стал рассказывать нам про конструкцию ствола.Ствол в снайперской версии винтовки Мосина имеет коническую форму и к дульному срезу ствол становится меньше чем у затвора.Угол сужения ствола равен 3 градуса.
@@user-ie5dm4sp1p данная особенность была внесена в конструкторскую документацию, но начало войны не позволило создать необходимую производственную линию (хотя малое количество образцов должно было поступить в РККА). После эвакуации производства отбор винтовок на роль "снайперских" в ходе отстрела валовых стволов. При разбросе не более 2-3 см на 100м винтовке переводилась в разряд высокоточных. Само же сбегание ствола к дульному срезу позволяет изменить баланс винтовки. Так же подобная конструкция ствола должна была, в теории, нивелировать влияние окружающей среды на геометрию "разгонной" части ствола.
@@user-ie5dm4sp1p "По легенде это только Тульские и только с одной опытной производственной линии. На практике такие стволы не обнаружены ещё ни кем." ссылка будет? Или байки?
Yes. Back in 1894 trench warfare and machineguns weren't a thing yet, and a platoon of riflemen volley-firing _approximately that way_ was SOP for suppressive fire.
Fun fact about the Mosin, Simo Hayha, nicknamed The White Death, actually used a variant of the Mosin for his service rifle, the M 28-30. The man racked up 259 official kills with said Mosin variant during the Winter War.
Saint Simo used only the issue iron sights, no optic, to prevent the enemy spotting a lens glare. He also kept snow in his mouth to prevent his breath from steaming.
Some companies already offer some AK's in .22lr, I've seen some German company makes them for the euro market and south America, no idea about US imports tho
No reason. .22lr is too low powered to use an AK gas system, so it’s basically just what all the others are which is a Ruger 10/22 dressed up like an AK
@@BrandonHerrera That’s the challenge, you would need to use something like a gas spring that would in essence just need a little extra pressure from the round to make it cycle. Hahaha
Brandon, there is a large sporting clays event in San Antonio Texas this weekend and I wanna see you there. It’s at the National shooting complex in your newfound homeland. I know you probably don’t check UA-cam comments but I hope this invite reaches you well. Love the videos regardless.
Russia- "We make special Sniper Mosin for the victory of Motherland!" Simo Häyhä- *Laughs in no scope* Seriously though, they're fun to shoot for sure.
I STARTED WATCHING THIS GUY AFTER WATCH AMERICAN SNIPER, shooter and the story of Handcock the sniper who was a god respect to all milliatry who serve and protect thank you for your service and all you do. love the content the videos n stuff keep it up
Read the book "Notes of a russian sniper" (Vasili Zaitsevs autobiography) to get a good idea where the movie got it right (very rarely) and where it got it wrong (which is most of the movie).
The only thing cooler than Mosin with a PU would be one of those rarer versions, like finnish Mosin with 4x38 Ajack scope, Mosin with early war PE scope, or Mosin with one of those rare 6x PU versions. Or Mosin modified by Yevgeniy Dragunov aka MS-74. 6:10 Nah, when you actually start to dig the history and true events, EatG becomes a massive turd.
@@thefiresworddragon927 yes my father immigrated From Russia almost 30 years ago. He was named Sergey after his great great grandfather the creator of the rifle. He now lives in Papua New Guinea, with his family. We still carry his the name Mosin with pride. Although we know we aren't Russians anymore, we still keep in touch back home with other Mosin relatives.
@@hardcharging nothing generic here. Mosin is a popular name in Russia but most of them are not direct descendants, we are actually descended our knowledge of this pasted down. After his death in Sestroresk one of his sons moved to the city Orel. City where my father is from.
Brandon made a big oopies by talking about “enemy at the gates” the internet is now obligated to harass you until you do gun builder reacts to enemy at the gates video
Brandon: "I have another target in mind tho, that I think might really just be necessary." Me: *"A german!"* Brandon: "We're going to use the nugget to destroy some nuggets." Me: "Awww"
Передайте Брендону что называть "Враг у ворот" хорошим фильмом - это тоже самое что назвать отряд 731 самыми добрыми людьми за всю историю человечества
Brandon, Radmir asked to let you know that to call Enemy at the Gate a good movie is about the same as calling Unit 731 the nicest people in humankind history.
Got my first one for $29.95. Hand selects were only $5 more, and you could ask for specific proof marks, years, arsenals, etc. back then. Good times. I miss the good old days.
I remember adding them to orders to get free shipping, or because the cost of the rifle to get free shipping was the same as the shipping costs. Wished I had picked up a crate of them when I could to make a coffee table out of.
"Wait until the bombers are directly overhead..." Call of Duty World at War during the "we totally aren't plagiarizing Enemy at the Gates, please don't sue us...." mission.
Y'know Vasilis Zaitsev was a Russian Navy pencil pusher before being pushed into infantry service? Also Enemy At The Gates is an utter nonsense film, kinda like the Russian Braveheart
Im sure they did shit like that in war too, is that a crime too? At least it was like paying respect to the men who died in the war rather than watching a glorified film, although call of duty is almost worse than any movie nowadays. Pretty sad they had something good and pretty much shit all over it
Why have I not seen a series of Brandon and Ian going through the history of Russian guns and AK variants? Now that you are in Texas he is basically your neighbor lol
Да, 2000м на открытом прицел, это именно для залповой (не прицельной) стрельбы подразделением с закрытых позиций, на дистанцию рубежа концентрации подразделений противника перед атакой. Все это очень чётко прописано в устава и наставления времен первой мировой.
If Camomo- the Rust Admin, can do the stuff he does to catch cheaters in real life, he would probably shove a High Velocity Rocket up these two Bot tards' rear ends.
The scope could be original to the gun. They were made in different factories and thus would have different serial numbers. I had the same thought when i bought my sniper. One way to find out if it was original or not is to look up the scopes serial number. If it was built in the same year as the rifle it will show that. And thus would technically be "Original" to the rifle.
How many times has Brandon caused gunbroker to instantly sell every model of every gun that he’s featured in a video? Who else immediately went shopping during or after a vid?
@@country928 about 450 in decent condition, I'm not sure how well they sell now but I sure as heck wouldn't pay that, you can get a pretty nice rifle for that kind of money, mosins are cool, but they'll never be worth over 150 bucks, and even that is pushing it imo
There’s a 1941 Mosin at the Commemorative Air Force museum in St. Charles County. I was there recently and they have a display of weapons from Allied and Axis forces. Next year will be the 1942 weapons and so on. The Commemorative Air Force Show Me Wing houses and flies a B25J Mitchell Army bomber and a TBM Avenger Navy torpedo bomber. They’re one of many Commemorative Air Force wings around the country that are keeping these Warbirds flying. If you have a wing in your area and are interested in learning about the history of WWII aircraft, I highly recommend visiting one.
I love the Mosin-Nagant that I have. I’ve added a scope from Ivan’s, or rather the scope mount from Ivins. I’ve added an extended magazine which the rifle now holds 10 rounds. The rifle has been completely cleaned and restored. I even added A complete leather stock wrap with cheek riser and it has a leather round holder on the side which is laced up on the bottom of the stock it looks like an old trackers set up which is really nice. And I have from the same company a real leather sling made out 1/4 inch thick cowhide. Yes I like my Mosin-Nagant.
They look so good restored, dont they? I tried my best not to sand off any proof stamps on the wood. Polished the brass and bolt. Tula 1944 You can find several M.N. ID charts online that will tell you the rarity and sometimes production numbers of your rifle
Lets Go Brandon! The Mosin was a somewhat decent gun for someone else, I have a a 1918 Mauser 8mm that's equally as bad. No scope involved or required. The iron sights were also equally as useful and I have to admit I bagged my first dear at age 12 with my dad with this gun. (He brought it home from WWII).
Well, mosin was made and brought to service in 1889. For Russian Empire at the time line formations were still a thing. Thou best part about mosin, it was so good for its time, it survived change of 5 different military doctrines. 2 under tsars, after Russo-Japanese and during WW1, and 3 under Soviets, before it was changed for an AK. I think it was officially in service until 1972, if memory serves me right.
Finnish soldier Simo Häyhä was known as "The White Death", credited with 500 kills in 100 days, 259 verified "sniper" kills and the balance with his Suomi KP/-31 sub machine gun. Häyhä didn't use a scope. Some believe that his personal claim to 500 kills is a modest underestimation while others believe the number to be far less but his "sniper" kills were verified.
@@thunderring8056 I was half-joking but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it really happened these days. Lots of our heroes aren't well known until the enemy shines a spotlight on them and directs all the NPCS to make a big fuss. Like all the statues being torn down lately.
Had a horrific nightmare that Brandon was on bathsalts, freaking out in my front yard whilst he was covered in wooden clothespins. Was relieved to see him using Soviet arms
Oh hey, Brandon. Speaking of Mosin-Nagants. You gotta get the KSA9130. Its a .22 but it's basically a micro-mosin with a Cricket action. It's a breach load. I know I know it's not Russian made per say but it's hella fun to shoot. Came out back in 2019.
as someone who "rarely" shoots... almost ever... (shot my first gun at 3 but have had years between shooting) recoil ain't that bad, like, at all... (of course depending on the caliber) recoil is more like a "thump" than a punch. of course it fucks up your sight picture, but as far as worrying for your shoulder... I wouldn't.
7.62 x 54R is around .308 win, the recoil isn't that bad at all even if you are a new shooter. Probably shouldn't be the first round you ever fire but there is worse. Even at 6'0 155 lbs and a regular (once every few months) the recoil is almost negligible on intermediate rifle cartridges like this. Youll have maybe 3 inches of muzzle rise at max if you're my size or better and have some concept of recoil control. Granted I also shoot 300 win mag and feel as though it has less recoil than most people state so i may be an exception.
Put the buttstock firmly into your shoulder, and stand firm with a forward lean. A gun's recoil just feels like a light love tap from the spirit of American freedom.
The mosin nagant is like a tool, as with any firearm; it may be suited to a particular purpose, like a wrench, but it can still hit a nail like a hammer. Long live the Mosin.
"The Enemy at the Gate" is an anti-Soviet, Russophobic propaganda film. The director of this film hates the Soviet people and the defenders of the USSR. The Council of Veterans of the USSR filed a petition to ban the rental of this film. And the wife of sniper Zaitsev (who is the main character in the film) called the film insulting and denigrating her husband. This film is an insult to the Russian people. P S: sorry for my poor English with a dictionary
PU refers to the scope " Прицел укороченный" (Short scope), it replaced the PE scope " Прицел Емельяненко" ( Emelianenko scope) which was larger and based on Zeiss designs but had problems staying sealed and was hard to focus
Instead of that pulp fiction movie, one is better off reading the first-hand memoir of Zaitsev, one of the best snipers who fought in Stalingrad. Зайцев, "За Волгой земли для нас не было". Vasili Zaitsev Notes of a Sniper
Fuck yeah Mosin, fuck yeah Brandon, fuck yeah in general. Maybe something in 5.7x28? Maybe something from the 90s? Maybe some stargate action? maybe a horizontal mag? maybp90 please do a P90 I beg you
@@GleamingJadeRabbit You must be new here. Brandon is an SOT and has a collection of automatics, SBRs and suppressed rifles (And combinations of all 3).
So fun fact about the iron sights sighting out to 2000 meters is that was done as a common practice with bolt actions as just before WW1 armies still used volley fire which the 2000 meter mark was used for to aim over your friend

Only thing I would like to point out is that it is not 2000 Meters, Russia had their own versions of yards/meter measurements and that is what it is. lokot or shag or Arshin. Depending on the weapon. on a Mosin it is probably Arshin (Which is about a yard) Which is still about 1400 Meters but hey Motherland and the optimism. Love the videos!
That reticle is essentially a German No. 4. The black posts help centre the scope in all but pitch black. A modern thin reticled scope would have been all but useless in WWII combat in Russia (snow glare etc.). I learned to shoot with a Meopta scope with exactly that reticle on a 1955 Brno Model 1. Scope was an original fit. Needless to say, I am a fan.
Got one of those scopes here in Australia it was at one point the highest quality of scope you can get the scope and the cz cost almost more than a car

in a way that fucking terrefying, imagien your standing with your pals ready to march on the enemy city and suddenly some of your guys are falling over dead and hundreds of small dust pops apere around you and ends with a tiny sound of thunder.
Thate,what I had always thought thanks for verifying.
@@bardedkgaming2529 Terrifying, but that's what makes it so useful.
the best battles (for your side) are the ones where the enemy nopes right on out of there and routs before you take casualties.
@@bardedkgaming2529 If you look at Lee Enfield and Lee Metford rifles before and during the early years of WW1 they had the same idea with a 'volley sight' on the side of the rifle.
You would use the front 'dial' to elevate the rifle to an approximate range and the rear peep sight to see through.
The idea was that before belt-fed MGs you still wanted your troops to be able to lay a field of suppressing fire even if it was beyond the normal range your average rifleman might fire at.
In principle it was similar to archers firing volleys of arrows in a beaten area, are all the projectiles going to find their mark? of course not, but if even a dozen out of a formation of 100+ men standing on line managed to hit their mark, that would still be perfectly acceptable at 2,000 meters.

For anyone with a Mosin that has a hard to cycle bolt: sometimes it's cosmoline on the receiver lugs that you can't see. Fire a few rounds, cosmo gets hot, bolt is harder to cycle. The tip for that: take a shotgun bore brush, put it on a segment of cleaning rod without the handle on the end. Dip the bore brush in Hoppes, stick it into the receiver where the lugs are, and then chuck the cleaning rod into an electric drill and run it for 10 seconds. Clean the dried cosmoline out and the bolt won't stick nearly as bad after you fire a few rounds. Or maybe it will, wartime production stuff isn't known for high quality and your receiver and bolt lugs may not mate up well.
Great tip thanks!
Rimlock also occasionally
Mine is so smooth it's unreal. Bought it like that a couple of months ago
@@agoogleaccount2861 If your MN has rimlock you have a mechanical problem in the magazine. Take a look....there should be a little spring on the side that holds the cartridge under the one being fed so it's not pushing up hard against it which allows the top round to slide off without rimlock. When the bolt goes into battery this little spring is pushed back to release that round so it'll feed next then when the bolt is opened it grabs the next round...repeat. The cartridge rim is also angled to help prevent them binding together.
I wish we had a class on how to run a bolt gun...not your fault Brandon...you're young, but in words: With open hand and palm facing up, smack bolt open with heel of hand, then cup hand around bolt and pull to rear. Turn hand around again with open hand shove bolt home and down to lock. No...'grab bolt knobbie with fingers thing. Try it...you'll like it!!
@@recoilrob324 wrong kinda rimlock. Rimlock during ejection of spent cartridge. Handle hard to lift chamber very tight. Little too new condition sometimes this happens with em especially with some of the combloc era satellite state produced surplus ammo. Maybe the rim runs
.003 wider ? . Its the portion behind the chamber. You'll see some little imperfection where the rim scrapes. And rub marks. Just remove that so it doesn't rub and its good generally

The mosin nagant is so ridiculously overpriced nowadays. Who else remembers when you used to be able to pick them up at Bass pro for $89
There was one in my local store for $1009.99. I almost threw up lol
I got mine with a spam can of ammo for $49. I miss those days.
@@HighlandLaddie I honestly don't know why people hate them so much, they work and are more accurate than the average shooter but here we are
I remember seeing them on the weekly ad at big 5 for $100 and under.
You say overpriced, but nobody in the US could make a Mosin and sell it under $300, so realistically the surplus subsidization is just going away.
The 2000m sight was kinda useful during WW1, where they literally were used for indirect fire. Pretty much every country involved did it.
i mean, its pretty hard to do much of anything when bullets are raining down upon your position. it forces the enemy to either retreat or attack, giving you the upper hand and forcing them to act on your time table, not theirs.
“I am a stone. I do not move. Very slowly, I put snow in my mouth. Then he won't see my breath. I take my time. I let him come closer. I have only one bullet. I aim at his eye. Very gently, my finger presses on the trigger. I do not tremble. I have no fear. I'm a big boy now. Ready Vassili? Now, Vassili, fire!”

The scope could be original to the gun. They were made in different factories and thus would have different serial numbers. I had the same thought when i bought my sniper. One way to find out if it was original or not is to look up the scopes serial number. If it was built in the same year as the rifle it will show that. And thus would technically be "Original" to the rifle.

Lets Go Brandon! The Mosin was a somewhat decent gun for someone else, I have a a 1918 Mauser 8mm that's equally as bad. No scope involved or required. The iron sights were also equally as useful and I have to admit I bagged my first dear at age 12 with my dad with this gun. (He brought it home from WWII).
Well, mosin was made and brought to service in 1889. For Russian Empire at the time line formations were still a thing. Thou best part about mosin, it was so good for its time, it survived change of 5 different military doctrines. 2 under tsars, after Russo-Japanese and during WW1, and 3 under Soviets, before it was changed for an AK. I think it was officially in service until 1972, if memory serves me right.
Finnish soldier Simo Häyhä was known as "The White Death", credited with 500 kills in 100 days, 259 verified "sniper" kills and the balance with his Suomi KP/-31 sub machine gun.

Oh hey, Brandon. Speaking of Mosin-Nagants. You gotta get the KSA9130. Its a .22 but it's basically a micro-mosin with a Cricket action. It's a breach load. I know I know it's not Russian made per say but it's hella fun to shoot. Came out back in 2019.
As someone who doesn't shoot for a living you need a non shooter to show that there is in fact recoil for the guns you shoot.
as someone who "rarely" shoots... almost ever... (shot my first gun at 3 but have had years between shooting) recoil ain't that bad, like, at all... (of course depending on the caliber) recoil is more like a "thump" than a punch. of course it fucks up your sight picture, but as far as worrying for your shoulder... I wouldn't.
7.62 x 54R is around .308 win, the recoil isn't that bad at all even if you are a new shooter. Probably shouldn't be the first round you ever fire but there is worse. Even at 6'0 155 lbs and a regular (once every few months) the recoil is almost negligible on intermediate rifle cartridges like this. Youll have maybe 3 inches of muzzle rise at max if you're my size or better and have some concept of recoil control. Granted I also shoot 300 win mag and feel as though it has less recoil than most people state so i may be an exception.
Put the buttstock firmly into your shoulder, and stand firm with a forward lean. A gun's recoil just feels like a light love tap from the spirit of American freedom.
BoS 🤢
The mosin nagant is like a tool, as with any firearm; it may be suited to a particular purpose, like a wrench, but it can still hit a nail like a hammer.
Long live the Mosin.
"The Enemy at the Gate" is an anti-Soviet, Russophobic propaganda film.

Its easy to get a high kill count when both sides are basically using human wave warfare.
@Paul Martin and then the other side does it the next day.....

You mentioned the legend Dugan Ashley, you should help raise awareness to the GoFundMe to able to spend more time with his family considering he's been violating with terminal MS. That guy was one of the first guys to get me really interested in guns
Mosin-Nagant is my ALL TIME favorite bolt action 😍
I love it when he shows us what the scope looks like inside. Thanks.
6:45 That was actually quite a good "до свидания" my american comrade.
may i get a translation there
@@firstnameiii7270 "до свидания"? The best way to translate it will probably be "until we meet again", in this context thou it's more like "farewell".
I came here 3 years late to say the same thing
Спасибо брат
Totally would love to see Brandon get his Hands on an SL8 and convert it to a full G36.
Hard part is finding the g36 parts.
Always wanted a Mosin, ever since I played CoD: World at War. Never actually seen one in the wild.
Got to love a channel where you can say lets go brandon and people may not be sure on your meaning
LET'S GO BRANDON!

I can already tell that this video makes me laugh and do some other things.
I bought my Brother, who was 13 years younger than m, His very first rifle when he turned 18 yrs old.
Big5 sold them for 99 Bucks +tax.
Great rifle and this made me think of him.
He unfortunately passed almost 10 years ago now, and it was an honor to have been a part of that guys life, who deployed twice with the Washington National Guard, and his final deployment was while working as a private contractor for Northrop/Grumman.
He also served his community as a volunteer firefighter EMT and held an elected position in city government in Greyland Washington.
He will be forever missed by many, and the world in general became a little less shiny, absence His Huge smile that he so generously bestowed upon every one who crossed his path...oh ya, forgot to mention he served with the Department of Corrections in Washington state as a Prison Guard for almost 20 years as well.
And Ive actually know a fella or two who did time at Stafford Creek Corrections where he worked and every single one I met , all said what a stand up guy my Brother was, who never failed to help someone out any way he could under the circumstances.
Thanks little Brother, for helping me to become a better man for having known you and I try everyday to continue to shine the light and Love of Christ as you did, and I hope you rest well for the rest of us to show up on that Great and Terrible Day of the Lord.(which my guts tell me isn't far awaym, so anyone yet to receive Christ and ask for forgiveness of their sin s...might want to at least consider giving Faith a chance while there's still time)
Well , thanks everyone for allowing me to publicly Honor my amazing younger brothers life while also offering encouragement and that through Christ's love , we can all make a difference, wherever we go.
Rest in Peace
Jeremiah James Marsh
Best Brother ever!!!

Only thing I would like to point out is that it is not 2000 Meters, Russia had their own versions of yards/meter measurements and that is what it is. lokot or shag or Arshin. Depending on the weapon. on a Mosin it is probably Arshin (Which is about a yard) Which is still about 1400 Meters but hey Motherland and the optimism.
Love the videos!
That reticle is essentially a German No. 4. The black posts help centre the scope in all but pitch black. A modern thin reticled scope would have been all but useless in WWII combat in Russia (snow glare etc.). I learned to shoot with a Meopta scope with exactly that reticle on a 1955 Brno Model 1. Scope was an original fit. Needless to say, I am a fan.
Got one of those scopes here in Australia it was at one point the highest quality of scope you can get the scope and the cz cost almost more than a car

@@alfaholic3 And, if the firing pin breaks - use the tool in the small pouch in your pocket... And like the man said - screw it in further a couple turns and take sight! (the tool also has a guage for the pin length to avoid slam fire if the pin is too far out).

A Lee-Enfield Number 4 sniper accurised by Holland and Holland in 0.303 would be a great gun to review and for your collection Brandon. Used by the British Army up to the mid 1960s when 7.62 was introduced!
