I am actually impressed that the carbine length Mosin is hitting that well at that distance. The energy it was hitting the gong with was crazy. Great video.
my type 53. accurizzzed with trigger and bolt work set into monte carlo, utg tri rail and vortex glass. sub MOA. no joke. was a bout to order a custom barrel and i decided to acid wash the barrel. blue and grey ran out and i saw shine. did it a couple more times till clean. ran a brush. swabbed like 1000times. and was like chrome. so much copper and lead. sub moa 100yd with monarch academy ammo. RESULTS MAY VARY GREATLY... Can shoot all day. love the kick in the syn stock
Amazing. 600 yards from a 75 year old gun. How did Eric put it a Beaver and a Raccoon had its way with the stock? lol. Thanks for sharing the fun. Small bore ... lol
Happy 4th of July everybody. I brought home my first mosin last weekend and shot it Saturday. That gun shot beautifully. I was impressed at 300 yards how accurate it was. I expected to have a little more tenderness in my shoulder. But, it was pleasant to shoot. Thanks for all the education and videos.
Get yourself an M44 or one of these and ur shoulder will hurt. I've only ever shot my M44 n then my buddy let me shoot his full length Mosin n it's like shooting a .22 rifle.
I’ve been shooting a bunch of old mil surp lately. So my shoulder has been used to the punch. My .300 wsm takedown has the worst shoulder punch of all my rifles. I really dislike shooting that one.
I own 3 t53's. I would like to own 3 more. They are extremely well built guns. The bores are wrong out quite a bit but the steel and bluing and everything else is as good as it gets. Also the chu wood is awesome for a jungle rifle. I still love my 91/30s.
Fail cast game welcome to the club friend! Quick tip for ya: Don't be afraid to play around with ammo. I started with feeding it tul 148gr and it shot way high. Tried some 174 and still shot high. Then I tried 203gr Brown Bear... shoots like a laser now.
Love my T53. Compact and indestructible but hits like a truck. I’m surprised you can keep on target at 600 yards with iron sights. Well done. Thanks for sharing. Not enough appreciation for the lil T53 on TH-cam.
My T53 is weird as hell. The stock is absolutely beautiful, the trigger is insanely light, the receiver ring has 19542 as the manufacture date, the receiver has the two holes where the PU scope mount goes, the bolt is very smooth and probably some more things.
Happy 4th, in my experience with this rifle, I have the 1954 edition of this T53 and mine hates bear claw brass and steel case ammo. I've had the same issue at 600 yards as Eric. Granted given my crap eye sight, I cheated and took off the rear sight for the drop in pictany rail and put a Tasco optic on it. Now it holds zero and if your using the steel lacquered, Yugoslavian silver tips, you can hit target 9 times out of 10 all day long. My rifle was used rather well, had to redo the wood stock and fix old age to make it snug again, but it's very reliable and almost perfect bore. It keeps great accuracy with Milsurp ammo, but with hot loads above that, accuracy at 600 plus yards, good luck. At 850 yards, Milsurp ammo is your best chance, again in my experience with said rifle. Great show guys. Also check under the steel buttplate and see if your stock has swastikas in it, mine has 2 under the buttplate and 2 under the top hand rail.
Happy Independence Day!!!!! Let Freedom Ring. Freedom Isn't Free. Welcome back Chad...missed you in the recent vids. Looks like you guys had another fun day at the range.
Holy Crap that's a beat up T53!! I have one in Excellent condition and I use it as one of my main hunting rifles. It is insanely accurate. I do use high power hand loads with good quality projectiles either Hornady or Sierra!! I also have an M44 in Mint condition. I put 20 rounds through it to test it actually worked and was sighted in then mothballed it!! Sacrilege to shoot a rifle in the kind of condition as it would have been coming off the production line but I did have to make sure it worked!!
I grabbed 4 of these bad boys back when Bud's had them for $110 bucks. One was all matching. All had nice bores and one even had a decent stock. I wish we knew the history of these.... I think they came from Albania along with the military Chinese SKS's. What they did there and where they were before Albania, nobody seems to know. Brown Bear....I always wonder how these different 54r rifles would do with some handloads but I know Eric is probably so busy these days he doesn't have a lot of time to reload. I've never been impressed with ANY commercial 54r ammo, even match PPU and 600 yards is realllly pressing something like Brown Bear. Best loaded ammo I've shot in 54r is the old corrosive surplus match in the white and blue boxes, unobtanium these days but Grafs sold it up until about 2 years ago. Amazing stuff. Usually I shoot .312 Hornady 174gr match bullets with 4064 or 185gr .312 cast and Reloader 7. Sierra .311 MK's are good but most of my large fleet of Mosins like the .312 Hornady better.
A Type53 was the first big rifle my stepdad got me. As a 16th birthday present. 2,200 rounds of surplus later I can make her sing and hit the notes just right.
My type 53 looks like it was drug through a mud pit and then used as a boat oar. I swapped the rear sight with a mojo sight and it shoots 3-4 moa with 204 grain Barnaul when I do my part. I can smack a 12 inch gong at 300 yards dang near every time from the bench. The type 53 is the most accurate mosin I own. Mine has strong rifling and it’s nice and shiny. I love that that little chicom rifle.
I have had 12 of these I bought in one lot many years ago, and kept 2, the best one and broken stocked one that is now in a Boyds stock and the other very nice Military issue. After watching this I need to actually shoot one of these rifles for the first time........ ever...
Great video as always. many years ago had the privilege of shooting next to a young marine with a Romanian M44 and he was getting a 50% hit rate against an 18" diameter steel plate at 600-yards. he said he was on leave but was on his way to fallujah 2 very soon.
That Mosin is good to 750 yards all day long, with the right ammunition. Cheap, inconsistent loads will give you exactly that; one shot high, next low right etc. load some Sierra 200 Gr with decent bench rest primers and you'll see very improved consistency.
I'm really thinking about getting one. It'll compliment my 1937 Tkika since I don't have a carbine length mosin yet. In fact I bought the Tikka for 150 bucks about 9 years ago and didn't know how great of a deal I got. I even have a Fiskars bayonet/scabbard for it. I really want to expand my mosin collection now
You can clearly see the excitement in Eric when he hits. He racks the bolt w authority. Hahah. I have one of these and im considering a precision barrel. With scout scope.
The M44 was used in Korea and after the Chinse built them calling them the Type 53. I have a 1946 M44 that was used in China (with the production of the SKS and the AK that's the only logical war zone it could have gone to... It has battle scars)
IV8888, you need to seriously do a No.1 MkIII, a No.4 Mk1, and Mk2 at 600 yards one of these days. You already made the video of the No.5 Mk1 at 300, now time to test its older cousins at 600 yards please!
I've shot a sporterized Springfield M1894 30-40 Krag out to 750 yards with 180gr Remington pointed soft point high velocity ammunition with great consistency. Id love to see your take on that oddball rifle at 600 yards with the original 220gr round nose loads.
Good shooting! I have one of these Chinease type 53. I have killed several deer with them.The type 53 is a good target and hunting rifle.The type 53 in the Korean War was used be the Chinease and North Korean s.David Back from Menifee county Kentucky. God bless.
Chad's 3rd shot visibly hit where the 10 would be on a clock on the target plate, the First contact shot I could see. And this is at 600 yards? Wow. Chad's second shot hit it at an inch below 3 o'clock.
Were these sighted in with the bayonet extended as well as the other Mosin? I have an M44 but I usually don't shoot it with the bayonet extended. It's a tack driver out to 250yd for me.
My 41 izzy loves 148 grain Czech surplus. Dead on as long as I have the bayonet on. Have only shot it out to 300 with iron because I can't see much beyond that
A bad day at the range brats a good day at work! And BTW don't ever stop making these kind of videos! These are what I call blue collar videos. Just take a new or new to you gun out and see how it performs! LOVE THEM!
This demonstrates how the skill level of the shooter is far more important than any subjective measure of the quality of a firearm. Oh, and never under estimate the viciousness of an angry beaver.
How ironic can you get? Shooting a Russian design, Chinese made gun on a range in the state of Georgia in the United States on Independence day.
lol
didnt think abut that till now
Jeff, amen brother!
That’s not too ironic.
Between the loose bore, shifting winds & extremely heavy for purpose bullet, you did VERY well.
Happy 4th of july y'all
Leave it to Eric and Chad to use a Chinese gun
Gotta love this channel, Happy 4th of July!
Next do a Yugo SKS at 600 yards
UVB 76 yes
this please!
kevin3224 both
Yes Yes Yes 😊😊😊
UVB 76 can't go much past 450 with an sks your aiming over 6in high at 400...fuck 600 more like a howitzer lob than a gun shot
Love my M44. Call her my little thumper for the sound, fire ball, and kick!
I am actually impressed that the carbine length Mosin is hitting that well at that distance. The energy it was hitting the gong with was crazy. Great video.
Lee Enfield at 600yd please.
I qualified as a marksman in the royal navy with a Lee Enfield no.4 MK1 300 yards 3ft target with a 9 inch bull scored 94
And that was with iron sights
How did it work? Did you shoot 100 shots and missed 6 or what? I'm just curious.
SmokyMountainOutdoorsman no that was with 10 shots on a windless day.
I concur. Has to be a beat up mk3
Love my Type 53!
Getting a job would also knock off poverty peasant.
I love my AUG more than my Type 95
+felix gauthier How about getting an actual fucking job? Whats up with all these fuckers asking for handouts?
Type 53 FOR LIFE!!!

Glad to see that Chad is back. Happy Independence Day to you guys, and thanks for everything you do!
Amazing. 600 yards from a 75 year old gun. How did Eric put it a Beaver and a Raccoon had its way with the stock? lol. Thanks for sharing the fun. Small bore ... lol
Beaver and a Wolverine I believe. LOL
That was it Wolverine ! I knew the Beaver had help, just blaming the raccoon because of his appearance. Thanks
I don't math so good, but if this bad boy was built in '56 it's not quite 75. American education at its finest.
62 years. Sorry didn't stop to do the math. I knew some one else would come along and correct me anyway.
M44's in general are 75 years old at least
Happy 4th of July everybody. I brought home my first mosin last weekend and shot it Saturday. That gun shot beautifully. I was impressed at 300 yards how accurate it was.

Ace 2099 they really are dragons
Got mine in November. Don't hate me for this but I kinda like it better than my Garand. (46 Izzy and a 53 H&R)
Fail cast game welcome to the club friend! Quick tip for ya: Don't be afraid to play around with ammo. I started with feeding it tul 148gr and it shot way high. Tried some 174 and still shot high. Then I tried 203gr Brown Bear... shoots like a laser now.
I’m happy for you. I just shot mine last Saturday.
Would really like to see what a m44 or type 53 thats in really good condition could do at 600. Maybe even a slightly thinner front sight too.
Scientific proof Mosins shoot better with the bayonet on
I happen to know M44 mosins were factory zeroed to fire with the bayonet forward.
Rembrandt Tip someone told me that once but I thought he was pulling my leg. Anybody know why?
@@MrRolyat98 they were infantryman rifles
@@rembrandttip4861 Okay but the bayonet being forward is still going to mess with the bullets rotation.
@@FUNKOfilms Maybe. In any case that's the way they did it in the USSR.
Love my T53. Compact and indestructible but hits like a truck. I’m surprised you can keep on target at 600 yards with iron sights. Well done. Thanks for sharing. Not enough appreciation for the lil T53 on TH-cam.
I love my Type 53. It's the ugliest gun I've ever handled, but also has the smoothest action under $2,000!
My T53 is weird as hell.
The stock is absolutely beautiful, the trigger is insanely light, the receiver ring has 19542 as the manufacture date, the receiver has the two holes where the PU scope mount goes, the bolt is very smooth and probably some more things.
Can you bring a k98 out at 600
maybe a g98 would do better
Alfred von Schlieffen Already a G98 video on this.

Welcome back Chad...missed you in the recent vids.
Looks like you guys had another fun day at the range.
I love those Type 53s but they are hard to find a normal price. I’m glad I have my M44.
You guys are awseome!!! Don't stop doing what you do and being yourselves!!!! Thank you!!!!
Great vid as usual guys! Glad you're back Chad :-) Thanks Eric & Happy 4th to both y'all & your families.

Baffles me how this only has 2k likes and not more views. Love watching these, never gets old seeing you take old milsurps and test them
My uncle brought one of those back from Vietnam.
I shoot it on new years eve, and i wont get rid of it.
Happy Birthday "MERICA"!!!! 130.00 5 Yrs ago, 360.00 now, Thanks IV8888 & C&R
A Type53 was the first big rifle my stepdad got me. As a 16th birthday present. 2,200 rounds of surplus later I can make her sing and hit the notes just right.

Living the dream guys. Respect and love to all shooters in the US from us downtrodden shooters in the UK.
One thing the Chinese have always been good at is producing Soviet stuff. If it is Soviet, they can build it.
These were built with Soviet tooling and under Soviet supervision.
I have had 12 of these I bought in one lot many years ago, and kept 2, the best one and broken stocked one that is now in a Boyds stock and the other very nice Military issue. After watching this I need to actually shoot one of these rifles for the first time........ ever...

Nice vid bro I own a 1955 one of these with all the markings minus the front wood on the barrel and the bayonet,Happy 4th!!!!!
Got a couple of those from buds several years back. Probably the same batch. They’re fun.
I'm really thinking about getting one. It'll compliment my 1937 Tkika since I don't have a carbine length mosin yet.

Man I should've bought a Chinese type 53 mosin when it was less than $100 5 years ago.
Bought mine online for 150.00 a couple years ago
@@Curtis69213 $189 and restored it.
I love my M44 carbine. I wonder if retracting the bayonet would have affected it at 600 yards? It would have been interesting to compare.
I bought three of these for $99 back in the early 90's and all three were in better shape then the one you shot. Great cheap Deer gun.
Ive been deer hunting with one of these for the last 20 years . never missed or lost a deer with it, shots up to 200 yards.
It’s the 4th, y’all should have done a Garand at 600!
Happy Independence Day y’all! 🇺🇸
Impressive results for iron sights and a worn bore.
"Building Air Castles" HAHAHA thats awesome.
Erics confidence increases with each gongggggg. lol
I love my 1942 Mosin except my front sight blade is bent inside the protector ring so the scope I added has made all the difference
Happy FOURTH "Merica". 130.00 5yrs ago, Now 360.00. Thanks IV8888 & C&R.
The M44 was used in Korea and after the Chinse built them calling them the Type 53. I have a 1946 M44 that was used in China (with the production of the SKS and the AK that's the only logical war zone it could have gone to... It has battle scars)

Is that what the pawn shop dealer told you...😂

You hit the strap again! Amazing that durn thing hasn't fallen off yet!

The stock looks like a beaver and a wolverine got into a fight.
I am going to shamelessly steal that line.
Well done troops.
Got one today can’t wait to test it out
IV8888, you need to seriously do a No.1 MkIII, a No.4 Mk1, and Mk2 at 600 yards one of these days. You already made the video of the No.5 Mk1 at 300, now time to test its older cousins at 600 yards please!
This is the best series, i love it! Keep it up :)
I've shot a sporterized Springfield M1894 30-40 Krag out to 750 yards with 180gr Remington pointed soft point high velocity ammunition with great consistency. Id love to see your take on that oddball rifle at 600 yards with the original 220gr round nose loads.
Should definitely be a ww1 era enfield and 03 Springfield with the tangent sites at 600 yards next. Good job
It's that round man 7.62R is no joke. Family has been dropping moose at over 600 yds for over a century
Good shooting! I have one of these Chinease type 53. I have killed several deer with them.The type 53 is a good target and hunting rifle.The type 53 in the Korean War was used be the Chinease and North Korean s.David Back from Menifee county Kentucky. God bless.
Chad's 3rd shot visibly hit where the 10 would be on a clock on the target plate, the First contact shot I could see. And this is at 600 yards? Wow.
Chad's second shot hit it at an inch below 3 o'clock.
Were these sighted in with the bayonet extended as well as the other Mosin? I have an M44 but I usually don't shoot it with the bayonet extended. It's a tack driver out to 250yd for me.
John Garand what ammo do you use?
Everybody should buy one for it is a hard hitter and cost less plenty of ammo out there
I have a Russian mm44 carbine from 1945 the barrel is pitted but it’s super accurate at long range with the bayonet out
Great as alway Eric & Chad.... love it!
Mosin on 4th of July, truly is the best day ever.
Looks like real fun. Happy Independence Day guys!
My 41 izzy loves 148 grain Czech surplus. Dead on as long as I have the bayonet on. Have only shot it out to 300 with iron because I can't see much beyond that
Awesome. Love these videos. I’ve been trying to get a Mosin for a while now. They’re kind of scarce in south GA for any reasonable amount of $
A bad day at the range brats a good day at work! And BTW don't ever stop making these kind of videos! These are what I call blue collar videos. Just take a new or new to you gun out and see how it performs! LOVE THEM!

This was my first milsurp gun. I love it.
Chad always cracks me up haha good stuff guys
The most underrated mosin
i wasn't impressed at first.. then i realized the subject "600 yards" to which i retract my thought but wanted to post anyway. Nice shooting.
How about a Finnish Mosin at 600 yards? Great shooting with the type 53!
Did you guys ever do the in-depth follow up video of this? I can’t find it if you did
Happy 4th of july , respect from french Canada.
Good luck with your prime minister
just yesterday i was messing atound with a M1944 finish mosin at the range those things are fun
I wish you guys would show a shot looking down the rifle and then move back while showing what you see from the tower.
I like how this didn't show up in my feed until today. Thanks, Obama.
I think the fugly mosin at 600 would be an amazing video
They make great truck guns for hunting. I'm just saddened that mine was sporterized slightly and that the bayonet was removed.
Lol. I celebrated earlier by shooting a Mosin and a Mauser, a VZ.24 to be precise. Good fun and a good way to say happy birthday to our great nation.
Great video, I gotta get one of those to go with my 9130.
I have one type 53 and it's awesome I love shooting it....
