What a great starter gun. With your mosin you can learn so much that will help you as you progress. That's really cool and this video was pretty well done
Something I have only occasionally seen mentioned is that the "keyhole" in the screwdriver fits over a bayonet socket to give more leverage when dealing with a tight fit. I had to use it with my unused-since-refurb mixmaster M91-30 because it shot well and to zero with the bayonet fixed and I decided to leave it that way. The bayonet has since loosened up enough that I can usually (except in serious cold) get it to turn by pounding with the heel of my hand if I don't want to get the cleaning kit out. p.s. without the bayonet fixed, it shifts several MOA at 2:00+/-.
Congrats on your new piece of history! Glad you enjoyed, if you haven't checked them out already, there are several other mosin videos on the channel you may also like.
@@HistoryinFirearms just finished cleaning my Mosin with my cleaning kit, shot 80 rounds of 1975 ammo thru her today, Because of you and your video! Thank YOU!
I have a dual throated oiler for a Mosin Nagant and it was used to clean a rigle in World War 2 and I know this because it was picked up off a soviet soldier
First video I see from your channel and Iam very impressed 😊 Can I ask you? Is there any information about right size of patch for cleaning? Or have anyone of you figure it out? Thanks! 😊
Welcome to the Channel! Glad you liked the video. The manual does not give a specific size. It does say that the jag with patch should pass into the barrel with modest effort. I have seen 2in x 2in patches labeled for 7.62mm. So long as it takes a little effort and you don't force the cleaning rod, you should be good. Hope that helps.
There is a reason that the cleaning flask contains water AND oil. Using the water first dissolves the salts left behind by the corrosive primers and then a thin coat of oil in the bore prevents rust. Though not specifically mentioned, and generally not misunderstood, that is the purpose of the water portion of the flask. I have also hears that good vodka was also often stored on the water side of the flask for a shot of "liquid courage" when necessary but that has not yet been scientfically substantiated.
Great guide! I'm sure many people will appreciate your hard work on all your videos.
Thank you!
As I person new to the gun hobby, and my first gun is a mosin nagant. This really helped me a lot! 😊
Well welcome! Glad the video helped! The Mosin is a cool gun and the guns only get better 😊

Had this kit for years with out knowing how to properly use it. Thanks
Always new things to learn! Glad to share!
Nicely and simply presented. No nonsense.
Thanks! Trying to keep it simple. 👍

Awesome, thanks!

Oh interesting! I plan on doing a training film on the bayonet so I will include the use of the tool for the bayonet in that!

Is that video out yet? Thanks
@goodcitizen3780 It is not yet. Scheduled for early November. I was not able to get my tool over the bayonet as mentioned above though.
@@HistoryinFirearms
I think November is right on time. I'll be checking back.
Thank you for the quick response.
Great demonstration video.
Thanks!
So cool, just bought a mosin and cleaning kit. Very helpful.

Thanks for the answer!
And greetings from Czech Republic 🇨🇿
@@user-zk8tg8ko1u You are welcome!
Interestingly, no special cleaning was recommended for corrosive ammo
I'm curious as to when they started using non-corrosive ammo. I'm thinking after this manual was published.
