History in Firearms
США
Добавлен 3 ноя 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
Просмотров 38014 дней назад
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.

Shooting a M1903 with Unertl USMC-SNIPER Scope
Thanks, switched my extractor hoping it'd fix my sticky bolt but it's still pretty sticky...
Glad to be of assistance in replacing the extractor. Sorry it's still sticky 🫤
That was excellent, just found your channel and shared this with my buddies. I have never thought about trying drills with these old rifles just shooting them for fun/accuracy but this looks like a lot of fun.
what gunsmith build do you have it looks like zero recoil
It's not mine, but I believe it is original.
Thanx for making the video. I did not know about this sling for the SMLE.
So you Mauser neophytes, I recommend you not remove the extract of you can at all avoid it. The extractor collar can be kind of fragile and may be impossible to replace.
I believe that Egyptian soldiers would smash the stocks just prior to surrender. That is why many rifles in the US have to marks have no disic ,plastic buttplates.Importer had enough. To order replacement stocks.
👍
interesting to see, the design is identical to some made back in the 1750s!
Yep, just thinner to fit in the sling swivels.
A.........Like Assassin...........Go one troop, A squadron!.
Get 'em!
On the FN FAL rifle we were taught to put the oil bottle in "cap towards the muzzle" since the rifles are stored muzzle up (so the bottle has less chance to leak).
Oh yeah, that makes sense!
Shame it missed the whole show
Agreed
Agreed
You said it was 1 R 3, but did a 3 R 1.
Yep, I wasn't thinking that day and mixed it up. 🤷♂️ I thought I noted that in the description but guess I forgot. Good catch. 👍
@@HistoryinFirearms Great channel. Your content blends great with Forgotten Weapons and other history based gun channels. I love seeing a modern shooting perspective of historic weapons.
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.

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😅
@@tntvsouy Ah, that what I was thinking. Is there a marking on the rifle that indicates use by the Airborne Corps?
@@HistoryinFirearms In your video of the Type 99 rifle, the sling of the gun has the kanji ``Daiichi Teishindan'' written on it. This is the name of Japan's airborne forces. This unit primarily fought in Indonesia and the Philippines
I never even knew about these before. I thought they were all canvas! Great video, as always!
Yeah, I initially thought the leather slings were just holdovers from previous rifles. It is the same design as older rifle slings, just shorter though.
@@HistoryinFirearms do they make repros of the leather ones? Or do you need to track down an original?
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 think you would be hard pressed to find someone to put up an argument that the Mosin in better than the Mauser.
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.
There are definitely some variations in the slings that are out there and available.
@@HistoryinFirearms I was finally able to get it somewhat right, I had to take the hooks on the long strap passed the keeper and into the last two available holes, just after the sling swivel near the front of the rifle. Then the short strap hooks into the last two available holes on the long strap. It’s not quite as tight as I’d like it, but it’s the best I can do with what I have. For a 1943 rifle, do you know if this leather M1907 sling is correct for the time period? Or wouldn’t webbing sling be correct.
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.
Always good to take the Mosin out for an appreciation shoot every once in a while. You get to appreciate it and all you other rifles at the same time :)
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.
