Urban Dictionary: Mosin-Nagant (definition)

mosin-nagant

The Mosin-nagant is an old school bolt action rifle from Russia. Originally designed by a drunk Russian engineer and an even more drunk Belgian gunsmith, who drew up blueprints on napkins in the back of a pub somewhere in Siberia in a vodka-induced stupor. The Mosin-nagant fires the 7.62x54r cartridge, which can kill a polar bear at a thousand yards and keep going right through the tree he was standing in front of. The Mosin-nagant was used by the Russians in both world wars, so it's killed more Germans than collisions on the autobahn and under-cooked sauerkraut combined. Surplus Mosins can be found at gunshops in the States for like a hundred bucks on sale, and ammo is cheap surplus, so this is what real men shoot who don't want to drop $1299.99 on an AR-15 which fires a .22 round and that's made out of recycled milk jugs and Legos. Many of them come with a bayonet that's roughly the size of the sword William Wallace used in Braveheart. In the absence of gun oil, you can clean a Mosin by pissing down the barrel and wiping the bolt off with a dirty rag that you found on the floor in a Grease Monkey. Try that with a rifle that was designed less than 50 years ago.

Joe: " I need a rifle that is ten feet long and fires anti-tank rounds, but Ive only got 200 dollars!"

Ivan: "Amerikan comrade, you need mosin-nagant . Spend 100 on the rifle, fifty on case of ammo, use rest for vodka!"

In Soviet Russia, rifle fire you!!!

...and the MN is the rifle my son most wants to buy. I’m not sure if I should be proud of his appreciation for old-school bolt actions, or question his sanity. I think I’m going with the old school. His other favorite rifle is my grand dad’s old lever action, short barrelled 30-30 “saddle gun.” Which oddly enough saw a lot of time in a scabbard on horseback.

So basically it’s the round not the rifle that fires it. Same round different rifle should produce the same result, yes?

Cabelas has had a pretty good selection of 91/30s lately. Sale prices have ranged from $130 to $170. otherwise $200.

(picked up a 1947 ex-sniper last month.)

Where are the polar bears going to get shade if you kill all the trees”

The author forgot to mention that this rifle kicks like a mule. I love mine. My friends call it the elephant gun.

The best lever action I have ever owned was a 94 Winchester. It was a post 64 model and was sold under the name of J.C. Higgins.The action was made of iron and had lost most of it’s blueing. The iron must have been OK as I shot it a lot and there were no problems of any kind as far as functioning.

Someone had installed a very good Redfield receiver sight. They just left the front bead alone. It is the only lever action of the 30/30 or any other cartridge originally made for lever actions which was really accurate.

I shot around 1to 2 inch groups at 100 yards. most of my other 30/30 lever rifles have been half that good or even worse.

Like every other really good gun I have ever bought, I ended up trading it or selling it. Usually because I needed money.

Local gun shop typically has 8 or 10 on the wall in the 100 to 200 range. Seem to be in decent shape. If/when he gets more serious about buying one we’ll start looking closer. Anything in particular we should be looking for? Known wear spots or places where hidden ccorrosion likes to lurk?

I’ve owned a couple M-Ns, Yesm they look likr fugitives from a blacksmith shop but they can surprise you, The key is decent ammo, much of the surplus Eastern block stuff being crap. There is non-corrosive commercial ammo available. While a bit pricey, it can be a big difference. Friend of mibe has one of the snioer rifles and, with Dellers-Beloit ammunition, that ugly old clunker was printing 1#1/2 inches at 200 yards.

Damn skippy, every time I go shooting with mine I come home with a very sore shoulder. The only thing I don’t like is not being able to find any non-corrosive ammo.

Finland reworked Mosins in their armories and used them in the 2 wars against the Soviets in WWII. Most have hexagonal receivers instead of the usual round ones.
