Those who say bad things about the Mosin Nagant have never settled into shooting one. They are crude, loud, but effective and more accurate than most realize.

yeah, it's always annoying when someone says " mosin is trash" just because they can't handle the minimalistic design and strong recoil.

91-30 Mosin sights are in Meters. Arshins were on the old Kovalev sights on M91's. Mosins do have issues, but accuracy is not one of them. And c'mon, the recoil aint THAT bad. 30-06 is worse. Oh and I do find myself working the bolt lefty. Believe the Finns did that too.

Try shooting the same round out of the Mosin carbine. Then I could understand the recoil complaint. The 91/30's recoil pales in comparison.

@@TheOutdoorGeneralist I have a 1946 matching numbers Russian made M44 carbine that I seized in 1969 during my 2nd medevac duty tour in Vietnam. Awesome rifle and I love it. Despite it's age, it still functions perfectly. I can easily take out a 1/2 gallon milk jug at 1000' with the iron sights.

600 yards?! Where I'm from the longest range is 100 yards. Lucky bastard.

Enjoyed watching . Mosin is a legend , despite some mock this gun , it came out in 1891 when some european aarmies still had muskets lol . And even the germans never thought that some peasant with his mosin would get 400 kills

Thanks for watching! It’s a pretty neat relic, and the story that goes with it is even cooler.

Great job....and a lotta fun!

That’s great shooting!

Great video and fun to watch! Had the rifle been re-zeroed since being imported? If not, they were factory zeroed at their arsenal with bayonet on. This could be what is throwing off the settings on your slider. As you have discovered, it is in meters, but you must affix bayonet to maintain barrel harmonics. Impressive shooting though and fun to watch you having fun. (Edit) In addition, you were using correct grain weight that was use by the Soviet arsenal to zero.

Had fun watching Good shooting 👍😊

I gave you a sub. Good job! The ol' Mosin is a much better rifle than some give it credit. I have two, and both smack a 600yds "man target" on the regular.

outstanding!!

As far as the mosin being painful to shoot, using a rubber recoil pad can seriously help mitigate felt recoil. When I first got my mosin I could shoot 10 rounds and my arm would be bruised to shit the next day. Once I swapped to the rubber recoil pad I could shoot my mosin all day long with no issues. It’s not a permanent modification either, just unscrew the old metal plate and replace it with the rubber one. Or you can also get a padded sleeve to go over the metal plate. Anyways, good shooting. Thanks for the video 👍

Great video and shooting.

nice shooting !!!!!!!

I like that you used old surplus Russian ammo and yet you were able to hit at 600! Amazing. If you had a spotter and more time, based on what I saw you would be hitting 8/10 at 600. Amazing! I have one manufactured in 1933 that I refurbished and it looks new. I shoot it out to 200 with iron sights and it blows folks away with scoped ARs to see an old guy like me with glasses and my old Mosin consistently hitting the man-size at 200 yards.

Same here. I have a m91 Finnish 1943. Gunsmith said it was unissued. Most of the younger shooters at my range dont even know what it is. It is very accurate, 1 inch groups at 100 yds. Sgt. Jacob Wheeler 101st Airborne Div. Ret.

Very good friend. My mos is 1928.

The Mosin does indeed have a kick too it. It was the first bolt action rifle I ever fired, and trust me it kicks pretty hard

The sight ramp is set for meters and not yards, Your aim was probably spot on but being in meters is why you were shooting high, You could buy a taller front sight post and file it down and re zero at 100 yards on #1 for a more point of aim, point of impact zero.

Sam Hyde after some more research, I believe you’re right. Arshin was the unit used on the early rifles. Mine, however, was made in 1939, so it’s most likely in meters.
