    Thanks for this series of 3 videos. As a complete newbie I thought they were very informative and well-presented without any BS.

    although I've always seen the mosin as a pretty average fire arm, but after watching this, I can see it has some very good features.It could be said that this is the rifle that won the second world war since Germany broke its back against Russia...that alone should earn this rifle respect.

    Thank you for the kind comments! I recommend a local gun shop where you can see the rifle before you buy it. You want to inspect it yourself and make sure for certain if it's the best you can get. That's what I did.

    Wonderful substantive information. Did you take the entire trigger mechanism apart for initial cosmoline cleaning?

  • @darrensaltiel440
    @darrensaltiel440 10 лет назад

    Just a note on dissassembly of the bolt . They cut the fork on the guide bar so it fits onto the firing pin then twist and out pops the pin under spring pressure , there is as you will notice on the cocking piece a horizontal cut corresponding to the firing pin alignment this way when you put it back in you can't get the pin in the wrong depth works every time

    • @Tallerico500
      @Tallerico500 10 лет назад +1

      Hmmm. I didn't know this about the guide bar. I'll have too try this because it's got me curious now.

  • @TheRedneckGamer1979
    @TheRedneckGamer1979 11 лет назад

    When first buying one it can be advisable in my experience to completely disassemble the bold so make sure there is no packing grease within its workings, I believe it is called cormaline or some such name. Mineral oil is safe for the bolt and excelent for cleaning the grease out of the workings. If you get a Mosin with "sticky bolt syndrome" you can almost be more or less certain that either the breach or part of the bolt has packing grease that has melted and then hardened inside it.

  • @mg344268
    @mg344268 5 лет назад

    when you dismantle the bolt you can completely dismantle the firingpin from the hammer bu using the split end of the guiding rail as a wrench, that`s the way they used to do that back in the day. you don\t need any wood, book or anything.

    @lasseriks they cost usually from 79.99-139.99 depending on how lucky the deal or if the stamping is Tula or a hex receiver or both Tula+hex receiver. M44 variants are a different story.

    but can you also compare these awesome weapons with each other ? like is Kar 98 better or mosin nagat?
    thanks please answer me

    @ScreamingSturmovik 12 лет назад

    thx for the vid ive had my mosin for awhile but i haven't shot it at all, this makes me feel more confident in myself with my rifle, i love guns but i wasn't raised in a gun environment and ive only had my licence alittle longer than the gun so it's intimidating to be around them and handle them feels so good :)

  • @NormanMatchem
    @NormanMatchem 11 лет назад

    You can actually just push the bolt back in the reciever without touching the trigger. If memory serves, the Carcano required the trigger to be depressed to put the bolt back. The M91/30, M44, Kar98k, and M1917 bolts can simply be pushed back in.

  • @Acehalo2

  • @Bluessole
    @Bluessole 11 лет назад

    I just bought that same kit today for around 175. ( I have a soft spot for world war modles -^_^-) I was wondering how durable the gun is and how easy is it to find replacement parts? Also how easy is it to find the ammunition for the firearm?

  • @gunther482

  • @LifeofCharles
    @LifeofCharles  13 лет назад

    @FoodFolksandGuns The ones I prefer are Polish, I got them from a local gun store while they had them in stock, you should be able to find them on line. Avoid the stainless steel ones, those are a PIA to use, at least in my case.

  • @45calibermedic
    @45calibermedic 12 лет назад

    I never said that it WAS a K98k I said it was very close. Clone IS going too far in everyday terms but for a reenactor it WOULD function more or less as a clone. And fussy with ammo? How long are the 8mm rounds that you are using :0? PS: I have an m24/47 and it's a honey. PSS: Great video series! I learned a few nuances about the guns!

    @cwbyfan223 13 лет назад

    This is one of the highest quality reviews on the Mosin Nagant 91/30 I have seen. Just a few things to note though. Single loading is safe, however it can cause problems with the extractor engaging the rim. Also mass production ended in 1945, however there are examples of 91/30's that were produced in 1946, 1947, and 1950 at the Izhevsk arsenal. What year and arsenal is your 91/30? Thanks for posting.

  • @LifeofCharles
    @LifeofCharles  12 лет назад

    @1971Chevelle502 Not in particular. I think it might be pre-war as most that I see are blued steel.

  • @LifeofCharles
    @LifeofCharles  13 лет назад

    @theTNoutdoorsman98 Depends entirely on your body. To me, they all feel the same. Recoil is the last thing I think of when I'm about to pull the trigger, exceptions to .500 S&W, .44 Magnum, etc.

  • @cwbyfan223
    @cwbyfan223 13 лет назад

    @something01992 That seems to be the most common year and arsenal here in the states even though 1942 production numbers were larger than 1943 at Izhevsk. Oh and by the way, when I said single loading I meant when you load a round without using the magazine, i.e. just placing it into the receiver, sometimes the bolt either won't close or is much more difficult to close. Happy shooting.

  • @Rudynicolas

    @TheMetalHeaD256 11 лет назад

    mine shoots slightly low too. i haven't tried it with the bayonet. apparently they all have different behaviors without the bayonet... some shoot high without it, some shoot low without it. but all seem to shoot to the right without it. at least i know where THAT behavior comes from.

  • @bigchunk1

  • @MrJamesGtv
    @MrJamesGtv 12 лет назад

    I'd say mosin, if you don't mind a bit of work and fiddling, you can improve the trigger to be more responsive and quicker then the k98k, it is generally sturdier, easier to clean from my experience, and the ammo is generally less expensive.
    Not to mention it costs about 10% of the k98k!

    Thank you! I'm glad you found it useful and congratulations on getting a Mosin Nagant!

  • @45calibermedic
    @45calibermedic 12 лет назад

    Better idea: buy a Yugoslavian model 24/47 or 48. Both are very high quality Mauser rifles and BOTH are easily found UNFIRED for about 200-300 dollars. I considered a Mosin myself, then I realized that an extra 100 or so bucks could get me a real Mauser in mint condition. The m24/47s will be a used rifle that was taken out of storage after WWII, checked for function, and had any necessary parts replacements performed. The M48 was a new production rifle and was often stored without seeing service

  • @LifeofCharles
    @LifeofCharles  12 лет назад

    Mosin Nagants are $80-$130, Kar98k rifles can be anywhere from $250-$2000 depending on a number of factors. Your profile says you're from Ireland, so the prices there are different than here in the US. Thanks for watching and commenting!

  • @shuntachi
    @shuntachi 13 лет назад

    Amazing quality, I mean not just visual but the contents the most. I wish I could do like this.

  • @LifeofCharles
    @LifeofCharles  12 лет назад

    No that's not correct. The M48 and 24/47 have intermediate length actions derived from a Belgian 98 model, whereas the Kar98k has a full length one. The intermediate length action's a bit shorter and might be more fussy with ammo, because you have less room for error and you might get issues with rounds getting hung up on the feed ramp. The rear sights on a 98k start at 100 meters with the 24/47 and m48 start at 200. Additionally the handguard on the 24/47 and m48 extends behind the rear sight.

  • @LifeofCharles
    @LifeofCharles  13 лет назад

    @theTNoutdoorsman98 Thanks, I'm taking a summer semester right now, but I'll be back to finish this series ins August. I have part 2 almost done, but I still need about 5-10 minutes of footage covering cleaning accessories.

  • @clangerbasher
    @clangerbasher 11 лет назад

    If I cock it can I rotate the cocking piece to take pressure of the firing pin? I believe the Russians liked to leave the bolt open to allow air throw the barrel to prevent corrosion. This is a super video by the way. I have seen lots of shooting and customising videos but none that cover the basics. I don't know anybody with one of these rifles, though we do have them here in the UK, and videos like this help plug the gaps.

  • @45calibermedic
    @45calibermedic 12 лет назад

    I use Sellier and Bellot 196 grain FMJ's. A perfect match for these guns!

  • @45calibermedic
    @45calibermedic 12 лет назад

    PS: The M48 is almost an exact clone of the K98k (the Yugoslavians had the tooling after the German occupation of their country) while the m24/47 is an earlier version of the Mauser 98. If you wanted to, you could blue the m48's bolt and make it look exactly like a K98k.

  • @LifeofCharles
    @LifeofCharles  13 лет назад

    @Thatevilmidget Well, seeing as I've never shot a Finnish Mosin Nagant before, I'll have to take your word for it. But there's not doubt in my mind that the M39 is the best looking of all the Mosin Nagants out there. I especially like the semi-pistol grip on those honeys and the wood they use (tikka? Or something like that) is easy on the eyes.

  • @LifeofCharles
    @LifeofCharles  13 лет назад

    @FoodFolksandGuns Finnish Mosin Nagants have a reputation for excellence. The M39 rifles are supposedly the best. And I'm glad to hear that my videos are helpful, it means that I've done my job.

  • @LifeofCharles
    @LifeofCharles  12 лет назад

    @1971Chevelle502 A Kar98k of course. 8mm ammo is easier to find, and I'm just a biased SOB that loves Mausers more than Enfields. Both are good choices though.

    @TheRedneckGamer1979 11 лет назад

    If you don't have to pull the trigger to to get the bolt in then your trigger assembly is probably very worn. SLAMMING one in place might work but you run the risk of sheering metal off of part of the trigger catch and damaging an otherwise rugged, dependable, accurate, and inexpensive little gem. Treat your weapons with care if you wish for them to do the same to you.

    @cwbyfan223 I got what you meant. I personally never single load at the range, I was just doing it for demonstration purposes on video.

    There is a video you can watch here ruclips.net/video/SPGUBnEHlTE/видео.html --and there is an old footage of what I believe to be a Soviet officer or possibly an NCO demonstrating reloading the Mosin with stripper clips. You'll find in that footage, he doesn't tilt the top round and lever it in. He actually hooks his thumb on top of the rounds and pushes them down like that.
    I time stamped it at the 3:11 mark in the comments.

    • @maverickpaladin4155
      @maverickpaladin4155 8 лет назад

      Check Iraqveteran8888's channel regarding sticky bolt. As long as you clean your rifle properly once you get home after shooting, you should have no issues. "Sticky bolt" is most often a function of a dirty, cosmoline filled chamber area or possibly a burr or other debris in the chamber.

    Isn't this the same model of bolt action rifle used in Red Dead Redemption? If it is, that kinda makes me want this rifle even more. I love the modern stuff as much as anyone, but I hold so much respect for older models like this. I know they're technically "obsolete" but they still work perfectly after SO MANY years. I guess I'm a boring traditionalist. I see the necessity in eventually investing in an $800 AR-15, but I prefer the old reliables that are cheap to own and shot and also force you to make every shot count. Remember you can't spell "manure" without "newer."

    All that extra engineering into the loading mechanism of a bolt-action, and the issues that come with it, just because the Russians use rimmed casings for their ammunition. That interrupter seems like it's more trouble than it's worth.
