Mosin Nagant in Urban Dictionary


Recommended Posts

This line made me laugh so much it brought tears to my eyes:

 

"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."

I took mine out for my first test fire last summer. Sent two rounds downrange and looked over at my friend to smile. Over his shoulder I realized there were 5-6 guys looking at me with that "wth was that?" look. Gotta love that chest pounding "thump" when everyone else is shooting .223.

I gave my son a Mosin 91/30 for Christmas last year. He loved shooting mine, so he wanted one for himself.

He got to fully experience the hassle of resurrecting one from its arsenal-soaked-in-cosmoline state-- I thought that would make him appreciate it a wee bit more. I walked him through the complete tear-down, clean-up and reassembly process so that he would have a better understanding of the rifle.

 

Anyway, first time at the range with his new baby, there are 2 guys there shooting ARs and one kid with a .22 rifle. My son selects a shooting bay a few benches away from them, nonchalantly unpacks his Mosin, loads it with a stripper clip, actuates the bolt, takes aim, and BOOOM!-- just like a Mosin.  The two AR guys whip their heads around, and one of 'em says "Wow! I know that sound--nothing else sounds quite like a Mosin Nagant!" You should have seen the grin on my son's face.

 

Here's a picture taken that afternoon (I'm the good-looking one on the right):

Awesome photo. My son is 7 and i've had him out shooting once. I can't wait until he's old enough to join me on projects like that. I've been lazy and haven't completely finished it but i bought a decent shape Type-53, sanded it down, restained it, stripped off all the blue and refinished it. It was a lot of work but it looks great. Whenever i can finally get the clear coat on the stock i'll post it up. Back to my original point, It'd be awesome to do some restoration with my son.

We play noise wars with my cousins next door in the evenings sometimes. About a quarter mile down the road. They will pop off some 22lr. I answer back with 22. Then they go to 9 mm I go to 40 or 45. Whatever I have on usually. They break out the ar's and then I break out the mosin. Then silence. It is so much fun.
