    This was a great story from a book on Remington with respect to the Russian Mosin-Nagant production:
    “In order to insure that his investment was protected the Tsar sent no fewer than 1500 inspectors to the Remington factories to verify that the 5000 Russian rifles that were coming off the assembly line met critical standards. The most irritating of these was a Cossack captain who became known as ‘Alexander the Great.’ His particular worry was that the rifles might fire accidently. He would take a gun off the assembly line, load and cock it and then bang the butt on the concrete floor with all his might. Of course the rifles were too well made to accidently discharge even when subjected to this kind of punishment, but as many as a dozen rifle stocks per day were cracked in this manner. Officials of the company could do nothing to stop this waste but the gunsmiths could. They filed down the locking mechanism on a particular rifle until the trigger literally hung by a hair of steel. They maneuvered this specimen into Alexander’s hands. When the Cossack slammed the butt into the floor, the rifle naturally went off, and the projectile pierced a four inch water pipe above Alexander’s head sending a steam of water under high pressure into his upturned face, knocking him flat on his back!”

      Смешно читать версию от "Ремингтон", когда знаком с историей и оружием
      Во-первых, русские заказали "ремингтону" не 5000, в 1915 году они заказали у него 1500000 по $30 и у "Вестингауз" ещё 1800000 по $25,75
      Во-вторых, "Ремингтон" заказ провалил - за весь год он изготовил только 33000 винтовок, причем большинство деталей подгонялись под каждую винтовку отдельно, это никак не соответствовало русским стандартам
      В-третьих, отмечалось низкое качество изготовления и отделки, при заряжании можно было прорезаться об острую грань ствольной коробки
      В-четвертых, эти винтовки применялись в рукопашном бою, а значит должны были быть крепкими Но качество лож никуда не годилось, они ломались при простом падении на заводской пол
      Русским пришлось уже принятые и доставленные в Россию винтовки снова разбраковывать и часть ремонтировать
      За весь 1916 год "Ремингтон" изготовил только 100000 винтовок
      И тогда русские прислали своих специалистов, которые буквально заставляли рабочих изготавливать качественную продукцию Это дало свой эффект: в 1917 году "Ремингтон" смог отправить в Россию около 700000 винтовок
      Таким образом эта известная фирма за 3 года смогла выполнить контракт только на 55% с опозданием на 20 месяцев против установленных сроков
      Выводы делайте сами

    If anyone is interested in learning more about the extraordinarily grim events of the Russian Civil War, I would recommend "Russia" by Anthony Beevor, which is the most recent and best English book on the Civil War. The great tragedy of the 4 million odd Moisin Nagants ever made was most of them were used to kill other Russians. It's not an easy read but it explains a lot about why Russia is the way it is.

    Another use of US Mosins was in the Pedersen Device tests. Apparently at least one of them was converted to use the Device and survived into the 1950s. It's unknown if it survives today, but if it does that would be a fascinating piece of history.

      The Non-Springfield Pedersen Devices were what inspired Ian to make Forgotten Weapons back when it was just a website and not on RUclips. He had heard about a set of Documents detailing how such devices would be made for Mosins, Lebels, and Enfields, but the last copy of said documents were lost in a fire. Ian decided that day that he would find all the documents of such rare weapons and archive them digitally, so that copies can be made and nothing of that importance would be lost ever again.

To put it another way, can you imagine the US still using Krags in WWII? The only thing the Mosin has over the Krag is stripper clip loading.

    the thing about rimmed cartridge is that it is easier to produce these on a older machinery.
    and, btw, each time (2 in particular) then we tried to get rid of this rimmed case, we got a shake-up, so we're really do not want to do it third time, tbh.

    if you bought a Mosin in America in 1913, you would be paying $27.50
    If you consider the inflation over the years, you would be paying the 2019 price of $713.22

      m44 is not finnish mosin,
      Finnish mosin are: M/24, M/27, M/27rv, M/28, M28-30, M/39, M/30, M/28-57, M/28-76 and 7.62 TKIV 85 (7.62 sniper rifle 85).
      M44 is either hungary, polish or romanias post product or originally soviet made.

    @Ulani101 6 лет назад +8

    While many people do slate the Mosin, Sergei well understood the Russian soldier of the period. The average Ruski was an ill educated, illiterate, peasant conscript, and for an 1891 design, the Mosin Nagant was excellent for what it was intended to be. Too many people compare it to far newer designs, and that`s not really fair to the por old Mosin.

    • @betaich
      @betaich 6 лет назад +2

      The German design is older, as are the French and British.

    • @simplymadness8849
      @simplymadness8849 6 лет назад +3

      David Young What does the education level of the conscript have to do with the handling of a bolt action rifle? Does one need significantly more education and training to operate a Gewehr 98, Lee Enfield, Steyr M95 etc?

    • @Ulani101
      @Ulani101 6 лет назад +2

      The Mosin is simpler than either the G98 or the Lee. No tools needed. Disassembly needs just the bayonet tip.

    • @Ulani101
      @Ulani101 6 лет назад

      The G98, Springfield, Ross, Berthier, MAS 36, Carcano, are all more modern guns. Remember that the gun the Mosin was inspired by, the Lebel, was basically a modernised Gras.

    • @simplymadness8849
      @simplymadness8849 6 лет назад +3

      David Young How is it simpler to operate than any of those rifles? Functionally the Gewehr 98 handles identically to the Mosin, except for the safety which if anything is simpler to use on the Mauser. The end of the bayonet may technically be able to turn a screw but soldiers were issued proper screw drivers with their cleaning kits.

  • @lewismaker895
    @lewismaker895 2 года назад +1

    I've owned 2 Mosins in the past. One was marked as having been made in 1941. The other had the octagon reciever and was made in 1913. And that model had a shorter barrel . It was also fitted with some mounting incursions that specified it was capable of being a sniper's rifle. I just know that it was really accurate.

    The first gun I bought after I turned 18 was a 91/30 Tula Arsenal Hex Reciever rifle... It wasn't the first gun I ever fired though so even though it was special in some ways that didn't stop me from selling it when I fell on some hard times. I know I'm probably never gonna find another one like it though at the price I originally bought it at, that's for damn sure.

    As well, a small number of US mosins (as well as Russian) ended up in the hands of the Japanese. They were used along side Type 38 & Type 99 training rifles in Universities and Schools. Generally with a specially made trigger guards that turned it into a single shot rifle.
