[@HarryFlashmanVC]

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.

[@ronbednarczyk2497]

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!”

[@firstoptimat]

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

I have a Mosin M44 carbine & it's definitely louder than my 91/30. The M44 is the loudest rifle on the range & usually there will be one guy who will wander down to my table & ask "Alright who has the cannon down here"?

When I fire my mosin carbines...... Everyone wants to come down and see it. The girls all want to try it.

[@briang530]

As well as being unreasonably more accurate than one should expect from a Mosin, my favorite thing about my Polish M44 is that the muzzle report is not far off of the light heat and noise thrown off by a 9banger DD "grenade". "LoL, spikey polish boy go boom"

[@requiemaeternam3406]

Would totally watch a show about firearms with Mae dressed like Dora and Othais in a dino costume :) probably would be the coolest show around for decades to come!

[@HBK-6S]

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.

[@NarcassiticGamer]

The fact that there might be a Pederson-Mosin existing somewhere in some US storage depot deep in Nevada makes me excited.

[@wyatttyson7737]

The Non-Springfield Pedersen Devices were what inspired Ian to make Forgotten Weapons back when it was just a website and not on KZbin. 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.

C&Rsenal Your remark that your first gun that you shot and still owned was a Mosin carbine hit a sweet spot with me. The first gun that I shot and owned was a M44 Mosin, that I bought at Big 5 for $80 when I was a teenager, and would get me involve in gun ownership, I still own it, will never sell it, means that much to me of all my guns in my collection now. Thank you for that Othais.

[@lstevens2834]

I was in my 30s when big 5 got me hooked. Always had modern guns but when they started selling real ww2 guns at 79.99 I bought one out of curiosity. Loved the history aspect. Kind of like a dealer selling his first hit for cheep. Damn big 5. They got me addicted. Not my fault.

[@ZGryphon]

Heh, my M1944 was far from my first gun, but I'm pretty sure it _was_ the first WWII surplus rifle I bought with my own dollars. Largely because the guy only wanted 75 of them for it. :)

[@pyro4squirrel]

Love the show, but I'm sad to say my family never had any milsurp rifles so my first wasn't a Mosin. It was a Type 38. So after watching The Arisaka episodes and the Mosin episodes I'm just full of pride now lol. Thanks for the content! It's gonna be a long 4 weeks.

From what I remember, one can actually BECOME a Cossack. It was a lifestyle (and hat, of course) requirement.

[@spartan92296]

For whatever reason every time i see a bit of tugging or struggling happening when feeding a mosin i burst out into laughter. Its just the nature of the beast but its almost like when someone asks a programmer if something was a bug or a feature and the only answer is "yes".

[@silverbackseven7]

The mosin would probably be a good rifle for your mid size Dinos. Stegosaurus, triceratops, iguanadon, is be pretty confident with mine. Anything larger or more heavily armored like an ankylosaur I’d want something way bigger.... maybe something like a Boys anti tank gun?

[@ComiCBoY000]

Those carbines are such jewels. I had the pleasure of handling one from a local collector. So jelly.

[@lewismaker895]

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.

[@johnclemens5720]

Shot several Mosin carbines (1910, 1938, 1944) the Vietnamese nicked named them "Red butt specials) due to recoil, watching Mae, shes a champ still smiling after it all

[@stephenkissinger4434]

There was one other use of the American Mosin. They were issued to the United States Guards, which were Federal soldiers unfit for service overseas used to protect critical sites (shipyards and the like).

[@cdfe3388]

Mae should read “Destroyermen.” Dinosaur hunting with ‘03 Springfields and Krags.

[@TheUnhappyTroll]

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.

[@bobrees4363]

To me the Mosin Nagant rifle is the contemporary of the US Krag-Jorgenson, which seemed to be in constant upgrade and was officially replaced after shortly more than a decade. 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.

[@fuzzydunlop7928]

The krag was an excellent rifle on its own merits - something like the Mosin would NEVER be adopted by the US military due to their particular high standards.

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.

Othais quite rightly brings up the subject of Imperial Russian officials incompetence. I have also read Elmer Keith's autobiography, "Hell I Was There". The stories he relates when he was an inspector during the Second World War,are tales of spectacular incompetence in supplying a percentage of known defective firearms. The Vietnam era term, REMF, is simply a part of human nature.,like it or not. I do not have words to describe people willing to supply known defective items to the men who are to be in combat. While they remain perfectly safe.

[@TheHandgunhero]

23:00 Othias, yep, Cavalry became less prevelant in the Great War even on the Eastern Front BUT The Civil War saw a huge return of cavalry, in fact you could argue that it was a cavalry war, especially on the southern and Volga fronts. Was the Dragoon made in qualtity post 1917? Especially in the 1920s?
