What's the Freeper consensus on pronunciation? This FAQ claims it's "mo-SEEN na-GOHN".

[JoeProBono]

According to the ex commie who lives in the neighborhood behind me, and grew up in Russia, it’s pronounced Moe-seen Nahgahn
The T is silent in Nagant.

[JoeProBono]

MO-seen Nah-GON. Russia uses the Cyrillic alphabet, while we use the Latin alphabet.
To get from one to the other, you have to transliterate, which is always open to interpretation.

[ozzymandus]

I pronounce it Mosin Nagant, ‘cause I’m an American and no commie tells me how to talk.

[MHGinTN]

At six-eight, the mosie is about the right length for Hickok.

[Squantos]

Sounds like ....”Mose’in naw gaunt”.... Was how I was taught in the service.

[hadaclueonce]

I guess it is just me, but I see some irony that we will use a lot of soviet weapons to defend our freedom.

I love watching hickok45 videos.

He looks like he really has a lot of fun doing them and getting to play with all of those different guns.

According to the ex commie who lives in the neighborhood behind me, and grew up in Russia, it’s pronounced Moe-seen Nahgahn. The T is silent in Nagant.

That's how Hickok pronounces it initially and is probably correct. Then for the rest of the video he pronounces it phonetically as MOE-sin Na-GAHNT, which I'm guessing is the most common way you'll hear it.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

I love his range.

[SampleMan]

Mosin was Russian. (MO-seen)

Nagant was Belgian. (Na-gau)

The Russians never called the rifle the Mosin-Nagant.

Although Nagant sued, and was paid hush money, the fact remained that no appreciable part of his design was incorporated in the final rifle, and that Mosin’s design won the competition. As that wasn’t well known at the time, the Western media just called it the Mosin-Nagant.

[Sasparilla]

As a strictly personal preference, I prefer my 1944 M44.
Don’t like to carry a long club.

[riverrunner]

Like all the ARs, M14s, Mini 14s, M1 carbines, Garand’s are just going to disappear if it comes to defending are freedoms.

[Vermont Lt]

I am going to a gun show tomorrow and was thinking of picking one of the up. Is the ammo available? It’s not a common American caliber is it?

Any insight on what I should look for?

Personally, I just call her Tatiyana.
