Why a Mosin Nagant ex sniper is the best investment you will make this year!

[@pathogen21]

I'm glad you made this video. I just recently picked up a 1944 Izhevsk ex PU sniper rifle for cheap. It was listed as a basic M91/30 and no one was bidding on it. The photos weren't great, but I could see the lined out scope serial number and see a barely visible plugged scope mount hole inside the receiver. It's in excellent shape with a bright bore.

I would love to see a full video on all signs that a rifle might be an ex-sniper. Some small town gun shops and mosy pawn shops still just throw all Mosins into the same category as a junky Russian rifle so they end up valued significantly less than what they should be.

I would like to see a video of how to identify an ex sniper rifle

[@brasstard7.627]

My free exsniper was sporterized before I got it. The bore is way offcenter at the muzzle but it shoots great. Has a .315 groove diameter and an ATI stock that spells it MOISIN. I got a video on it

Subbed to your channel you seem to find cool stuff laying around.

I have ex PU sniper made at Tula dated 1942...ive had it for about thirteen years...with the sniper markings on the receiver

[@thegreenman2030]

I have come across several ex snipers on the used rack at Cabelas\bass Pro shops. They were priced no differently then a standard MN, so always five that receiver wall a check.

I was at a machine gun day for Father’s Day. Got to shoot a saw, mp40, m1a1, then as a bonus a .50, lee enfield, and a Mosin m44. And of them all, I enjoyed the mosin the most. (mp40 was pretty epic) so I went to the next gun show and found me a model 44. There was a nice 91-30 also, but I value my life and knew my wife would not been happy if I got both. But I am keeping my eye open for one of these. For what they are, they are great guns. I enjoy shooting it more than my 1000+ colt m4.

[@kellscorner1130]

You idiot, you tell her that it was BOGO day at the gun show. lol

[@lonniesullivan7821]

Just picked up a 1944 Izhevsk ex-sniper in 2024 for 399. It has its issues though lol: someone stripped the stock and left it bare and blotchy colored, its been counterbored and isnt a shiny bore, and it has some visible pitting above the woodline. But she's still matching numbered and definitely getting converted back to sniper configuration. One thing he doesmt mention is that these have the improved trigger (mine has no grittiness and breaks decently) and idk about all of them, but my bolt is smooth to operate. Definitely a much more enjoyable rifle than the standard 91/30 refurb.

Thanks Sam👍🏻

Leaving mine an ex sniper. Only thing I did was strip off the runny red shellac and put linseed oil on the wood. It’s a nice honey blond color now.

[@jasonlittle118]

No one ever talks about the stock on the mount side. Mine is filled in. The receiver is flat but I’m not sure if the holes are drilled or filled. It’s a transfer so I will see in a few weeks.

[@comptongoldminer]

Great video. How accurate is the converted sniper rifle?

[@PraticalFinancial]

I’ve known “about” Mosins for years. I didn’t become interested in them as an “owner” until I started reading and watching videos about their “history”. Now I go to gun shows in hopes of finding a Mosin with true historical value 😎😎

[@SticksAndBlicks]

I love my beat up old mosin but god damn that gun nice and clean is another type of beauty

[@eddiecard]

I thought they would at least keep the bent bolt handle on the snipers ex or not. 🤔

[@elgringo808]

Mine is currently at the shop right now getting re-drilled and original base/mount and PU scope installed. I also replaced the trigger with a Timney trigger, Archangel stock and threaded barrel for my Omega 300 suppressor. This gun is very accurate and a nice kick to it :)

[@BigSamMosinMuseum]

That's a neat build, let us know how she shoots! Thanks for watching!

[@elgringo808]

@@BigSamMosinMuseum Will do. I recently becaame a member of a gun club that has access to 1000 yard range. Looking forward to testing the gun at longer distances.

[@СабриТаиров-ф5ы]

Сколько. Она стоит ????

[@StevenLowrance]

I paid about $50.00 for it

[@AnnoDominiMCMXCV]

What’s a good price for one of these right now?

[@kellscorner1130]

$4-500 for average nagant. $5-900 for snipers, $1000+ for finnish.

I will resniper my ex sniper... I am not sorry

[@improvisedsurvival5967]

They didn’t have suitable solvent to clean the copper fouling. This eventually affected accuracy. Cleaned the copper fouling out of my ex with hoppes 9. Bore is like new It’s dead accurate

So much misinformation

Please give me 3 examples of his "misinformation".

[@traven9063]

Ew a round receiver

[@edwardkanieski6342]

Can you give my a number so I can send you pictures of my 1939 Mosin. It was drilled and tapped and has guide pin holes. There are alot of marketing on the barrel and stock
