These types of videos help me more than you can imagine living in the UK makes you Eric my main source of gun smithing, reloading and just general knowledge I went from knowing nothing about reloading to now reloading a few hundred rounds a week. Thank you very much and keep up the amazing work!!

I went out to a gun show and bought my first Mosen nagant this weekend ive had a blast shooting it so far and have been looking for ways to improve accuracy. i found this video informative entertaining and overall helpful, thank you.

The Brownells glass bedding stuff is really great. You can get a "kit" from them which includes a dye that you can mix into the slow cure epoxy to darken it to deep dark walnut depending on how much you want to put in it, also included is a packet of fiberglass tiny bristles which you can add to he mixture, this stuff interlocks in all directions and makes a large-fill, much stronger, this epoxy remains slightly elastic, hence will not crack from recoil by design. I repaired a stock in the pistol grip completely broken on a Browning O/U (an inherently weak area) more than 20 years ago I've shot skeet with it for thousands of rounds over the years, it's just fine. really good stuff. Also, blue tape off any areas outside you don't want this stuff on, when it partially dries/no longer runny, remove the tape, other wise this stuff soaks into the wood and you might as well refinish the whole outside of the stock with it! Talk about waterproof! I smeared some trying to wipe it off and went ahead and used the palm of my hand rubbing it in and refinished the whole stock with it, awesome finish, in one coat, just have a but plate screw or something you can tie a string to and hang until dry, you can't have it touching anything and make sure the screw is in DEEP enough, or it can spin around in the wind outside and....ooh no! I learned the hard way.

In SHTF Eric will run a side business in dentistry.

Some extra tips: Mask the stock with masking tape and paper in the areas where you're going to glass so that any spillage or overflow doesn't end up on the stock. A single layer of masking tape on the back surface of the tang will help prevent any future splitting of the wood. When the tape is removed it provides a micro gap so that when under recoil the tang isn't putting pressure on the stock. All recoil should be absorbed by the recoil lug. Petroleum Jelly on the bolts works great.

Thanks for spending so much time on the Mosin Nagant! I just bought one at a gun show a couple of weeks ago after watching one of your zombie apocalypse videos. I'm very pleased with rifle, and this whole series you're doing on the gun has been very informative and has given me a lot of ideas.

How are you enjoying the zombies?

Absolutely can't wait for the trigger job video. Bedding the stock and polishing the trigger in key places can really help make the nagant a great project rifle.

If you bed the rear of your rifle, ensure you add a thin amount of electrical tape on the tang so that there is an intentional gap. The Russians left a generous amount of space behind the tang is so that it doesn't become a 2nd recoil lug. It was inletted that way to direct the recoil to the bolt that goes behind the recoil lug, instead of directing the force to the grip, which is usually the weakest part of the stock that cracks/splits. If you've already done what this video shows, you can still grind the bedding out the rear area and re-do it correctly.

That's correct if the bolts loosen even a turn the recoil will push the whole action back and crack the grip just behind the tang when the back edge of the tang comes in contact with wood. That's why its exposed on original wood, so it moves back freely during failure. The rifle survives and a few stitches teach the soldier to check his weapon properly. My M53 was set in a modified savage stock and had this happen. It didn't crack luckily. Just took a chip out. I left the damage rather than refinish it to remind me to check the screws before shooting.

Can I bed my mosin with guerrilla wood glue?

Thanks for the video! Bought my first mosin last week after seeing your videos for the last few months. I'll give the glassing a try soon!

Eric, I enjoyed this video and as a result was able to do my first bedding. Thanks!!

I have been using jb weld and shoe polish as a release agent I have done two rifles in the last year and it works great.

The magic of a new lens. Beautiful!

Glass bedding and free floating the barrel on a mosin makes it shoot SOOOOO much better!

It's Project time!!!!! Thanks for the videos! I know these might not get the most views, but these types of videos mean a lot to the community. It's really appreciated! Thanks, Brian

Very well made! I just got a Mosin M44 and I will be doing this project.

Sweet Jeebus - another gunsmithing video!!! Can't wait to try this on my own Mosin. Thanks IV8888 and crew!

Great Video! Just like the old days!! This is how i found you way back when, doing mosin how to videos!!!

So happy you did this video and are making this series.

Don't let the 'lack of views' think these video's are not well liked by the dedicated few who are new to shooting and like to pick up a few things here and there! Cheers from Australia and keep it up!

Wow, It took about 3 seconds to notice the exceptional lighting/video quality! Great Vid.

It's so relaxing to watch this for some reason.

Love the finish on the barrel and mag

Really cool! Thanks Eric! I got to do this to mine to get ready for deer season!

This is an amazingly well done video. Not only informative, I love the camera work as well!

Nice. I've heard that basic bedding is fairly simple if u follow the accepted procedure. Been wanting to try it, and the Mosin is a good place to start. U are stoking the fire

huge fan man...thanks for tutorial....from the east coast of canada

MOAR MOSIN!! Great video. Love this particular series you are starting.

Great video brother. I've been debating doing this to one of my laminate M44s; looks like I'll be doing it for sure now.

Thanks for the gunsmithing video. I really like these especially on old C&R rifles!

Absolutely does. Each rifle is different of course but all of the things you've listed are proven accuracy enhancers on the Mosin-Nagant's

Awesome that you would share this knowledge and experience with us.

Thank you guys for doing these how-to vids. Very few professionals that I trust as much as you guys. I take all your advice to heart. Wish you guys were in Arkansas lol.

These videos are always the best. Thanks!

I'm so glad you made this video. I was apprehensive about attempting to bed my M38 until I saw this video. I might attempt this.

I have bedded some of my guns and used jb weld instead of class and found it easy and seems to stand up well . just something you might want to check out thanks david

great video I sent this to my 2 buddies who own a nagant again greets from vienna/austria

Awesome, thanks for posting this. I'm at the point of beding my 10/22 project & wasn't sure how to do it.

If your newly bedded action doers not want to pop loose from the stock, try putting it in the freezer over night. Then try it. I run a flat screw driver in from the front, between the barrel and stock. This always pops a frozen barrel loose.

Love this vid! I'm getting in to mosins. Thanks Eric!

I recently bought my first Mosin 91/30 and either I got very lucky and got a really good one or the minor modifications I did to it worked like a charm. I took some very thin self adhesive cork and bedded the barrel top and bottom to dampen any vibration definitely giving the rifle a more solid feel. I inserted a very thin metal shim behind the recoil lug to make sure the action stays in place.. Another very thin washer under the seer spring reduced the trigger pull from around 8 to about 5 pounds. I also made a slight adjustment to the front sight post by sliding a piece of white electrical wire insulation over the post to lengthen it. It definitely brought the groups down to center target. I was shocked at how accurate and solid the rifle feels. I shot 3-5 inch groups at 100 yds. using 147, 174, 182, and 203 grain bullets and they all performed extremely well. It instantly became my favorite rifle after 1 day at the range with it. Almost makes me want to try to find another one. Great videos Eric. I've definitely learned a lot from you.

You actually killed your groups bedding the top and bottom of the barrel.. You want the barrel to be independent of everything really. Shouldn't mess with the harmonics of a barrel

I also got a mosin I got mine for Christmas when I was 16/17? I have only two guns (with plans to get more) my marlin papoose takedown 22lr which was my first and the one I paid for myself and it's worth roughly $100-$200 the mosin I have (m91/30) my parents paid $130 it included the bayonet (they didn't know that but none the less were happy about it) two ammo pouches tool kit oil can and strap. even if someone offered me a thousand dollars for my mosin i would flat out refuse theirs no chance of me selling it anytime soon (if ever) I'll keep it as long as I'm alive my dad still has a 380 lorcin he bought and just plane wore it out the frame cracked and it became inoperable he still has it to this day and I plan on keeping mine till the day I die even if it becomes inoperable I love this rifle my parents didn't have a clue what it was when they bought it and are still talking about getting another/more mine had a terrible stock but I sanded it down stained it and coated it in polyurethane and it looks gorgeous and it's very accurate and I have done no other modification other then re coating the stock for a long time I've wanted to buy a reproduction PU scope I've been nervous about doing so as I wanted a more powerful scope I recently learned if I don't like the scope that comes with it I can replace it with another 1" diameter scope while still using the same mount so that's what I'm going to do all the same I love my rifle as a T-shirt i saw said "7.62x54, because sometimes the bad guys hide behind things" trust me it's a understatement I still want to try tracer rounds in it though

Thanks Eric, I love these how to videos.

I am really enjoying these How To Episodes.

Love these how-to videos!

Really appreciate the high quality camera!

Love what you do iraqvet. You have inspired me to pretty up my mosin.

Thank you my friend that was a excellent How to video. I am going to find your other videos and then bed my Mosin Nagant.

Great video Eric. Please keep making this video series.

Looking forward to the DIY Mosin trigger job!

Another good one Eric. Keep 'em coming!

awesome video ive actually been wanting to do this! glad you made a video on it i cant wait to see the trigger job!

This is great. Thanks for sharing.

I like the finish on the metalwork, very nice. Good vid.

Thanks for the video. Very informative.

awesome vid eric!! can't wait for the trigger job vid.

The 760 is capable of a high level of accuracy without modification. If you desire to get the most out of the gun you should focus on buying a high quality optic with good solid rings, finding the right factory ammunition or loading your own and practicing as often as possible.

great video Eric. very informative. thanks.

Thanks eric looking forward to doing this to my mosin!

Nice! Thanks Eric..keep the how-to videos coming!!

Great vid sir i love watchin your how 2 vids the coating on the metal looks class 2 goes really well with the stock

Eric, the recoil lug area is THE most important area of bedding! The rear is not all that critical except it must have some gap behind the tang. The recoil lug should only be bedded on the rear face of the rifle/front face of the stock. Bottom, front and sides should not be a glove fit. Adding electrical tape to these areas on the metal will insure there is a slight gap when the bedding is done. Be sure to use release agent on the electrical tape!!!! Also...the guard screw holes in the stock should be larger than the diameter of the screws so as not to disrupt the harmonics of the gun.

I am just finished my Mosin project, but this will be great for next time.

Cool vid man. Makes me want to dig the old Mosin out of the back of the safe now....come to think of it I miss shooting it.

Big thumbs up from Iceland! Keep up the good work!

Love your videos guys! Keep up the good work

Excellent. Thank you, Eric.

great vid cant wait for more

great how to video! Keep up the good work.

Still in pretty good shape. From the looks of it I got one of the unfired or at least seldom fired ones. Only some very minor rust on the crown, nothing that couldn't be removed with a jag brush (I think I just got a little lazy with the cleaning one day after shooting some cheap surplus)

The gun smithing vids are great

Great tutorial Eric!

You're a great teacher!

Outstanding work Brother!

Oh man the suspense is killing me! I can't wait!

aside from all the other off topic comments, yes we are all ticked off at the price gouging, I just wanted to say Thank You for the Gunsmithing tips and please keep them coming!

As always, Eric, great video!

Great video series Erick. I don't usually comment on your vids, but this was a great how to. I would like to do this with my Mosin. I think everyone should own a Mosin or two. TC

I loved this video on how to glass bed a Moisin Nagant. What else can I do to accurize, make it shoot better?

haha I was just talking to him on facebook about it, showed him the new rifle i got from you guys a few weeks ago (savage axis). He's pretty happy with the work you guys did.

Love these gun smithing vids! Keep em comin you guys rock! Also love the mosins:)

The Mosin's recoil lug is freaking huge 0-0

i love mosin nagants. i'd love to buy one as soon as i can...

that Dodge sticker on your workbench is sick!

Nice vids. Love gun gripes and how to's

Thats one awesome camera you are using there.

Can't wait for the trigger job vid.

This must be on the new Nikon. Video quality is outstanding.

Ha ERIC, I will be doing the glass bedding to my mosin thank's for the post on this matter.

Another great video, thank you. If you go to a pharmacy they will sell you disposable syringes of different gauges if you tell them what you are doing. ie injecting resin for woodworking projects,these are cheap, disposable, accurate and disposable. Try it once and I don't think you will ever do it any other way!

advice well taken. i haven't fired it yet due to the stock being damaged, which is why i only payed $80 for it at a pawn shop. id love to convert it back to a sniper if i have the time.

Awesome brother!! I love these Mosin Rifles. I just finished shooting a friend of mines. Awesome surplus rifle!!
