Good.
Pretty funny stuff!
Educational ping.
(AR)Your rifle is used by elite forces worldwide to fight two bit nations' most illiterate conscripts.
(Mosin Nagant)Your rifle has fought against itself and won every time.
ROFL!
Holy Sh*t that was funny! Thanks for the laugh just before ending another wonderful day in Iraq.
“(Mosin Nagant)What’s a safety?”
#9 on the top ten list of the manliest guns!

#9: Mosin-Nagant M44
Speaking of guns without safeties, here’s the Mosin-Nagant M44 Carbine from Russia. The Mosin was used by the Russians against the Finns, the Finns against the Russians, the Estonians against the Russians, the Russians against the Russians, and the Russians against the Germans. It does, in fact, have a safety, but it’s quite hard to engage. But this is not a complaint one would ever voice in the Red Army. Your officer would reply, “Safety? Safety? Is gun! Meant to kill! No warrior should know he has safety on gun, because he should be killing enemies of homeland! Safety make loud click to aid enemy in locating warriors! No safety!” while pounding his fist on the table.
And the Mosin can kill enemies of homeland. The muzzle blast will vaporize green growth within a few feet of the muzzle, and even if you miss, the enemy will be reduced to shouting “WHAT?” to communicate. You’ll need a recoil pad or shooting jacket. Ordinarily, this might be considered unmanly, but this rifle has a short stock for using while wearing several layers of wool for a Russian winter. It is acceptable to wear padding to fire a Mosin.
Of course, there are also M38, 91/30 and other variations of Mosin-Nagant and all are cool. All, also (except the M38), come with a bayonet. Russian doctrine held that the bayonet was mounted except while traveling in a vehicle, because the Russians understood that an empty rifle could still be a pointy stick—a Viking spear. The Russians loved to spear Turks. So, coincidentally, did the Vikings. This rifle sounds better all the time, doesn’t it? The Finns used the Mosin as a sniper rifle during the Winter War, and their greatest Sniper was Simo Häyhä, who had 500 confirmed kills in 100 days. This is a man the Finns describe as “modest” and “self-effacing.” It’s a good thing the Russians didn’t run into a Finn who was proud and arrogant. They’d have been wiped out.
It fires a 7.62X54R (for “Rimmed”) cartridge, about as powerful as .30-06, and holds the distinction of being in service from 1891 to the present, longer than any other military cartridge. It is still used in Dragunovs, PKMs and other Russian weapons. It’s cheap in quantity. So are the rifles, because they were built for (all variations) over 70 years, by Russia, Finland, Poland, Romania, even the US. As I write this, arsenal-new M44s are $55 to $200. At that price, you should have several, so any guests you have during the Collapse can be outfitted as they receive Enlightenment. Then they can rape, kill, sack and loot with the rest of the men who secure a new Dark Ages to hasten the new renaissance. It will be a manly duty.
Very funny, but watch the movie “Enemy at the Gates” and see how effective my Mosin Nagant is.
“(Mosin Nagant)You dig your ammo out of a farmer’s field in Ukraine and it works just fine.”
I’ve got some that goes off half a second after the trigger is pulled. It’s great for learning not to flinch.
Good stuff!
Actually the sight adjustment only goes out to 1.24 miles (2000 meters). But I have trouble shooting a consistent 6" group at that range.
Good stuff here!
funny as hell. great post thanks.
Bwahahahaaaaa....
Moisin Nagant!
I bought two plus ammo for $80.
Took the best parts to make one.
Took it out the the range and wrapped a heavy towel around the bolt and held it away from my face for the first couple rounds cuz I didn’t yet trust it.
Each time it fires the entire firing line stops shooting and looks over due to the blast.
I’m good for about half dozen rounds then it aint fun no more.
Since the election, I think the price on the Mosin Nagant has gone up to $69.95
Seriously, as to the Moisin Nagant, I have two of them and they are as different as night and day.
The old M44 carbine has a shot-out barrel and is only good for the thrill of the fireball that comes out of it and the recoil, and for the incredible surgical trocar bayonet that also comes out of it. You could defend yourself at short range with it, much like a 38 snubby revolver.
OTOH the Finnish M39 is like a Swiss watch that was carved out of a Soviet boat anchor. It is very accurate and pleasant to shoot, if somewhat long and heavy.
The moral of the story is that the Moisin Nagant is the sort of timeless weapon that is handed down from dead troop to live troop, then from surplus armory to surplus plinker. It is eternal. Only rust and Democrats can ever destroy it. Zero percent plastic, and only requires the occasional cleaning with piss and lubrication with lard. The 1000 meter position of the sight means exactly that.

It may have once been Olga's rifle, which she killed Two Majors, (one SS), 5 Captains, 10 Lieutenants, and scores of Sergeants and Corporals. She left the privates alone, because they were "Kinda cute".
Mosin Nagant)Recoil is often used to relocated shoulders thrown out by the previous shot.
I've fire one, from a bench, and while the recoil is stiffer than that of the SVT firing the same catridge (and I fired at the same session) , it's not that bad.
I think the rifle I fired did belong Olga, or maybe it was once used by Lyudmila Pavlichenko to make some of her 309 confirmed kills, including 36 confirmed German sniper kills.
