Hello, I am from Chilean Patagonia, I have a 22 toz rifle, it is so good that yesterday I hunted a bird at 106 meters without a telescopic sight, every day it surprises me more, it must be that because of the cold the rifle still believes that it is in Russia and that's why it works too, hahaha greetings very good video

[@vinniejackson8327]

Loved this video especially, because you featured a long standing favourite of mine. . The toz .22lr, I believe maybe its model 17 or 19. My first powder charged rifle was this, in single shot, and boy did I learn to shoot with it. They are superbly accurate, more reliable and accurate than any more "modern or upper class" .22lr I have ever shot. I own 2, and will happily add more to my collection. My single shot and 6 shot cost my father 70 and 75 dollars respectively I believe. (New zealand dollars) Talk about bang for your buck.

[@huntarama9375]

The .22 looks like an early Model TOZ 17 before they had a dovetail put in the receiver. Model 16 was the single shot . I believe they come from the factory with floated barrels . They are pretty common in NZ , they were they budget rifle in their day before china was invented . A good one still commands a reasonable price on the second hand market. Its not unusual to go through 500-1000 rounds in a days hunting and a toz will do that with out a clean.

[@komradechampa348]

[@aaronwilcox6417]

USOG. Thanks for the video and production. I noticed to your left in background the very end firearm was a left hand bolt action. Im a lefty and my eye is always out for arms made for us who are the undeserved 15% of the population. Its why I love lefty ruger Hawkeyes, leverguns, and single shots.

[@TheBowhunterinNB]

Another excellent video , Thank you.

[@macchinedeltempo6469]

The older TOZ 5 round rifle you have is TOЗ -18. Single shot rifle of the same series is ТОЗ -16. They are based on a famous ТОЗ -8M model, but with some modifications. Most notable is Mosin like pull and twist safety. Both models were produced from 1953 till 1965. All of the ТОЗ line of rifles were produced with the match grade chambers, to insure extreme accuracy. Semiautomatic rifle is model ТОЗ- 99.

[@kdsowen2882]

Over here (NZ) we refer to them as Toz 17's, but there may be a no. difference between the single-shot and repeater, as someone mentioned 19. I've owned both, still have a single-shot (1972) with original sling and pull-through. Their legendary accuracy may be due to the chrome-bore which I've never noticed on other .22's. Keep up the 'rambling' , better than all the 'slick' U-Tubers out there

[@belakkale]

the old 22 is TOZ-17 ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A2%D0%9E%D0%97-17 and Medved is not an AK variant, it is based on SVD action. The first model was in 9.3x54R caliber. It`s very rear in Russia too

[@Johnnyk1995]

Don't listen to the negativity, as a younger shooter i seek out people with your amount of knowledge on firearms. What they call rambling, i call an expression of wealth of knowledge, music to my ears, keep it up love every minute of your videos.

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

Thank you Johnny - you made my day.

[@Pootycat8359]

10:09 The "Medved" (Russian for "Bear") fires the 9mm X 54R round, which is the 7.62mm X 54R necked up to accept a .35 bullet. Ballistically, it's similar to the .358 Win, and a bit less powerful than the .35 Whelen. It's much more potent than the .35 Rem. It's suitable for all thin-skinned big game, including the big bears. It was intended for bear hunting in Russia, as you might expect from the name. It's essentially the same gun as the Dragonov sniper rifle, except for the larger caliber.

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

That's an excellent rifle and cartridge.

[@KingLoopie1]

TOZ- Тульский оружейный завод- Tul'skii Oruzheynyy Zavod (Tula Arms Factory). I have a TOZ 78 bolt action. Looks just like your TOZ 99 but turn-bolt. Works great, decently accurate! One of my favorite knock around 22's!

Hey! I had one of those. I was a fool to sell. Also had the same in 7.62x54R - same spirals on the outside of the barrel. I liked the 39 better - the 54R smacked me - so light.

[@stephensmith4480]

Hi Mike. The only Russian guns I have experience with is Shotguns, namely the Baikal . I used to shoot a Baikal 12 Bore O&U. It was a superbly well made gun, it was my friends and he told me that if it had the name Webley or Winchester on it, it would be double the price. It was very well made and was my favourite shotgun for sporting clays. Alas, in the UK we are one of those country`s that has very restrictive legislation, when it comes to firearms. Keep safe Mike.👍

[@ironfelixfromkuban2580]

One of the big problems in Russia was the revolution and the civil war, and later also the Soviet administration. After 1917 and until the 1950s, there was virtually no civilian weapon in Russia - yes, the production of shotguns and hunting rifles continued, but much less than during the tsar's time. In addition, after 1917, the population in Russia became quite impoverished (in fact, the USSR began to "live well" only from the mid-60s), the Soviet arms legislation was very strict. All this did not contribute to the development of the production of civilian weapons. We will never see, for example, Frolov M1912 auto carbine in 7.62x38R Nagant, 20-rd magazine - it was something in between SMG and Winchester SL carbines. The cartridges developed by Vladimir Fedorov - 6, 6.5 and 7 mm, with 3.66, 4.33 and 5.66 cm3 capacity, were really very good magnums, the Russian army had to arm itself with new rifles, and, later, of course, civilian versions of this weapon would be created. The Russians once developed the .20 caliber cartridge in 7.62x38R Nagant case. There was a mass production of powerful hunting rifles such as the .577 Black powder express, but also the .80 black powder, I saw a photo of a hunting rifle chambered for this cartridge - a real Elephant gun. It is said that there was a large double-barreled .80 caliber rifle. Also, from the "semi-legendary" Russian weapons of that era - revolver, "like a big Nagant M1895", and, pistol, "Like a big Mauser C96", in 7.62x54R. In the 1930s, many new systems appeared in the USSR. The gunsmith Yevgeny Gurevich developed a system of the simplest double-barreled gun, for the production of which iron scrap was used - yes, it was in fact, and, GES shotguns were much more reliable and cheaper than TOZ, but, due to the Soviet bureaucracy, not in the 30s, they were never put into production in the 50s. It is known about the development of a semi-automatic shotgun and a revolving shotgun in 1937-1941, but, in the end, only after 1956 in the USSR they launched a semi-automatic shotgun into a series. The development of powerful sniper rifles in the USSR in the 1930s also ended in nothing, only because of the war with Germany. Yes, the Russians then had different powerful rifles, in 7.62x64SR, x80, x93, x122, 8.2x66SR, 10 mm, but the Soviets never adopted sniper rifles more powerful than the 7.62x54R. Later, there were many good weapons, potentially for civilians. For example, Nesterov LA-2 in 7.62x39, only 2.15 kg, in fact it was marksman rifle with full-auto: ic.pics.livejournal.com/raigap/40496274/1400040/1400040_original.jpg Despite the similarities to the AK, there is a lot of Dragunov SVD here. The main thing here is accurate single fire and the lightness of the weapon, in contrast to the AK, where the main thing is automatic fire and insensitivity to pollution. It was created in 1961, but has remained in the museum. Although I think it could be a really interesting weapon for civilians (you can change the butt, remove the full-auto and change the magazine). However, even many military developments in the "militaristic" USSR did not see the light of day due to bureaucracy or lack of money. For example, the picatinny rail analogue, developed in the 70s, or the plastic analogue of the Glock, developed in the 60s, have never been produced. Against this background, the possibility of releasing new civilian weapons was virtually zero. Now in Russia, the production of weapons has been mainly restored, although very often there are problems with the quality of products. In addition, magazines more than 10 rounds, full-auto, as well as any pistols and revolvers except traumatic ones are still banned in Russia. And, despite all these problems, the Russians have produced and continue to produce good civilian weapons.

My first deer rifle was an old Russian hex receiver with the Czarist mark on it. I bought it through the mail from some outdoors shop. This was back before the US allowed the importation of USSR stuff. I was so happy when I got it because I would not have to use the shotgun anymore. Then I found out a box of ammo (Norma) cost more than I paid for the gun. Oh well. It was so long I had to put it on a log or tree branch to shoot it. It was well made and very accurate, not like the war production and later scrap that is imported now. I did get a deer the first year. It was so far out I could barely tell it was a buck. Knocked it down with one shot. Back then lots of guys used old military rifles to hunt. Up your way probably the .303 more than the Russian stuff.

The TOZ 17 is one of the most durable and reliable.22lr bolt actions ever sold in NZ. There are still people looking to buy spare magazines. The breech bolt appears to have designed to mimic the the Moisin function, possibly for use in a Soviet school cadet capacity. The newer TOZ .22lr bolt action was imported for a while but supplies seemed to dry up when it was being supplied to Winchester as the Winchester Wildcat. The current trade restrictions over the Ukraine issues obviously do not help. I have used the Vostok CM2 target rifle from Izhevsk and recently purchased an IZH rifle. It is a Bars 1 bolt-action rifle chambered in 7.62x39, with a 22”, 1-12” twist barrel. Break-action IZH rifles are popular here, partly because they will never let you down and also because they are proper stalking ‘extractor’ guns. The cheap Yank farmer’s guns are fitted with ejectors. Good for farmers but not for bush hunting safety. This encourages some shooters to leave the action closed with a round up the spout because they are afraid of accidentally ejecting a round.

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

We like the so called 'rambling'!...ramble away!!

And a Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to you too. Tell your producer to lighten up. I very much enjoy what you have to say. You have good information. However I tend to sometimes cut videos short by a couple seconds if I think there might be another commercial coming. I don’t think KZbin understands just how much I hate commercials. Keep the videos coming

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

Thank you - and a fine looking gentleman you must be : ) I'll keep going; sorry about the ads. As for Thanksgiving - yes indeed - my favorite celebration day of the year; I guess it was something I was born with - gratitude I mean; that we're here. All the best my friend.

Two years late to the show, go ahead ramble all you like, you have a pleasant and joyful way of conversating with us .

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

Thank you Tom

[@mdub1955]

Ha, tell your producer that I enjoy and learn from your rambling. Keep up the good work and simply be real as the person you are at your core.

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

Will do : ) ...and thank you!

10:58 That muzzle is no doubt threaded for a reason. Suppressors are sold in Russia without any legal restrictions.

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

I had no idea. No wonder so many are moving to Russia. : )

[@tbjtbj4786]

Don't worry about the talking. It's interesting. I have slowed down watching anything but I still watch your videos we i have the chance. Its just a bunch of stuff comes up this time of year. Cutting hay around the rain. Keeping hogs out of the hay and getting ready for dove and deer season.

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

All the best for the hay harvest; hope you get the hogs and good luck for the dove and deer season. : )

[@tbjtbj4786]

@@UnitedStatesOfGuns thank you. It looks like its going to be dry enough for the hay and planting next week. The deer may be ok. But I tore a rotator cuff I think the doves are safe from me. I can't shoot my 12. I am trying to use a 410. Well at least its fun. Lol

I think Russia is the master of the KISS METHOD OF ENGINEERING (keep it super simple). Reminds me of the old line .Nasa spent millions developing a pen that would wright in zero gravity. The Russians sent a box of pencils to space.

Very enjoyable video (as normal), thank you.

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

Thank you! And all the best to you.

Probably the most popular shotgun trough the times here in Norway is the Russian Star Baikal O/U shotguns. My first shot gun wasa Star Baikal, and the ones we could get our hands on 30 years ago where excellent. The poularity came from being cheap, rugged and could handle whatever we threw at them. A shotgun you would actually dare to use as intended. I also had a Toz 17 .22lr, it had the worst trigger in rifle history :-D

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

Thanks for the note - more things I didn't know! I wonder if Finland got a lot of Baikals as well. "worst trigger in rifle history" 😂...at least it was memorable.

[@BumblingBushcraft]

@@UnitedStatesOfGuns I fixed it witha piece of metal from a tin-can.....at least it was not ratling anymore....lol
