Finnish M91 Mosin Nagant... Why They Chose the Garbage Rod!

[@witchywoman165]

Great narration,great vid. I do not consider them garbage. Their simplicity and robustness later on would be copied in all soviet guns. I have a mint Tula 91/30, M38, m44, Finn capture 91/30, and a 91/59. They are great rifles and ammo has always been cheap. But its always a good habit to run sweets 7.62 or ammonia through the barrel right after shooting because most surplus ammo is corrosive. A friend of mine years ago who passed away who went by the online name REDSTAR, literally had a collection of 100's of different types of Nagants. The mans collection of C&R was museum size. I don't know how he stored so many rifles in a walk in closet but he was a pro on everything "Mosin Nagant". He would love these videos. RIP Rick Peterburs...

The whole "garbage rod" thing is kind of a meme at this point, and I say it on these Finn Mosins in jest to the author of the book I used (he is a friend). Sounds like your friend was one hell of a pattern collector.... I bet you probably lost a good source of knowledge when he passed.

Best mosin😊

Well.... that will come toward the end of this series ;).

I bought that book also and have a Finnish M91 I acquired at an estate sale. I don't believe they knew what they had and got it at a decent price.

[@MilsurpMikeChannel]

It is an awesome book, and the author is a good guy. Congrats on the acquisition!

Great job on the video

[@MilsurpMikeChannel]

Thank you!

To be perfectly clear, there is nothing garbage about a Mosin Nagant. The action is about as strong as they get, and they will persist under the worst conditions. The Finns got a hold of them and made them even better. Good vid otherwise.

[@GarandGuy2553]

The Finns would’ve made it all the way to Moscow if they had fully adopted the M38 Carcano.

[@sixgunsymphony7408]

I read that they liked the M91 more than the M38.

[@GarandGuy2553]

@@sixgunsymphony7408Idk about the M91 or if many were actually used by the Finns but they absolutely hated the 38’s.

[@MilsurpMikeChannel]

Take a guess at what I have coming in this week :) (and I also ordered the oversized pocket knife as well which actually cost more than the rifle).

[@sixgunsymphony7408]

@@GarandGuy2553 I knew that, M38 had a fixed sight for what might have been 200 meters. OK for a carbine, but the Finns were riflemen and wanted adjustable sights for greater distance.

[@sirboomsalot4902]

The Finns weren’t trying to go to Moscow though, and they hated the Carcanos they had (mostly due to ammunition issues iirc)
