Hopefully you guys think this Russian WW2 Surplus stuff is as cool as I do! Gun Meme Review coming Friday, and then another AK-50 video 😈
The day I turned 18 I went out and got my first rifle. A great condition M44 for $110 out the door. Wish I bought the whole crate they had. Still shoot it regularly. Great rifle.
When you realize that when the Moisin was introduced the US Army was still issuing trap-door carbines and using black powder, and the Krag was a shiny high-tech toy....
thanks to our great scientist - Dmitry Mendeleev... well, we also used some American Berdan rifles before the Mosin one. and even the special version of Winchester M1895
Since Bayonet lugs are forbidden in lots of places they need an M-lock Bayonet attachment that does not contain a lug but still securely hold the bayonet. Why, no reason except to thumb your nose at a politician.
Bayonet lug bans are dumb because if someone really wants to put a knife on the end of their rifle they can just use duct tape, zip ties or hose clamps to attach some thing like a regular kitchen knife. And I don’t know about you but someone who has duct taped a large chef’s knife to their rifle is more scary than someone with a spike bayonet on something like an M 44 Mosin
I have fond memories of what they used to cost. I got a 1943 made M44 in perfect condition at Big 5 for $80. Couple that with going and buying a crate of 2 tins of 880 rounds of surplus ammo for $80 as well. 2008 was a good year for surplus guns.
Back in the 80's Grumpy's Gun Shoppe had two big wooden rain barrels full of M1 Garands. Dozens of them. $50 a piece. Some foresighted individual must have made a small fortune.
I regret not buying a dozen back when they were 100$. I've always loved these old rifles like the mosin, m1 garand and the karabiner 98k. I also love the old single action revolvers from the US tho. Guess I just love weapons that were simple and easy to clean and maintain. I've never been a fan of the paper weight polymer guns made today. Even the compact auto pistols I still prefer them with some hefty and lots of metal parts.
@@sexysexyjulian6758 Ironically, the “point,”’I was going to make. If you don’t mind the lacerations, a blue pill, with ambition the fun part could penetrate a White Claw. No rifle needed.
I’ve had one of these M44s for many years, it’s always a talking piece at the range when I take it out. That explosive muzzle flash and thunderous report when you pull the trigger draws em in. They line up like kids at the fair to shoot it. Best $100 I’ve ever spent..
Losing bayonets wasn’t the issue, it was simply the fact that the red army actually had the bayonet attached to their gun almost always. The M44 carbine model wanted to be compact so the folding bayonet was afded
That bayonet simply meant that when the ammo ran out, you could pick one up from a dead comrade and keep killing until you found some ammo, maybe. Many time the Red Army went out with only every third man having a rifle. The others were expected to pick it up after the first was killed.
@@lynnkramer1211 That never happened, this is just a stupid nonsense. Red Army suffered from ammo shortage in some situations in the first months of the war, but the main problem was the huge losses in people and heavy weapons caused by unexpected and highly aggressive attack. The small arms supply was never the problem in Red Army.
The reason Mosin operators had their bayonets attached is because the rifle was sighted in with the bayonet mounted. If the bayonet was off the rifle, it would shoot high. Both of my Mosins shoot high without the bayonet attached
To be fair, it's pretty easy to confuse the Marines. Just replace all the crayons in a box with different shades of gray ones and see how many of them think they've gone colorblind! (I'm joking.)
Bayonets are used to clear a position and are most effective against poor trained and undisciplined combatants that don't want to get stabbed. It still has its place with disciplined, professional fighting forces for this reason. It remains one of the best ways to clear a position without having to kill or wound someone. Marines are not confused. They know Brandon was talking about US Army.

@@mrdurp9 The ones I have had were decent rifles but they weren’t all matching and didn’t shoot the best groups. After the first few shots they get so hot you have to fight the bolt.
I have a 91/30 that was manufactured in 1939. It is outstanding. Probably the smoothest action of many of my bolt actions. I use it deer hunting and it has never failed me. Good video, thanks!
I actually bought an m44 as my first official gun purchase and I’ve put easily a couple thousand rounds through it. I love that thing like a child and it’s treated better than my other guns tbh
I can only imagine how russian troops felt when they got their hands on a gun with a smooth bolt action like a Kar 98. They'd probably think they'd gone to heaven if they somehow got their hands on a Lee Enfield
@@DjDolHaus86 It's funny. German snipers often dropped their Kar98k's for Mosins. www.historynet.com/mosin-nagant-model-189130-russias-world-war-ii-sniper-rifle.htm
I love my Mosin M44 bought it a couple years ago, and the other good thing where I live is apparently no one has anything that shoots 7.62 x 54R so all the stores have the ammo.
my brother had an m44 that we used to shoot alot. used to buy cheap russian surplus ammo online. we had a shooting backstop made out of railroad ties that the thing would punch through cleanly. there was a like 20 ft steep hill at the back of our property with a swamp underneath it, still remember shooting into the swamp and the water went as high as the hill we were standing on. good times, the m44 (or any mosin) is the most kickass cheap rifle you can find tbh
Neat video. Favorite Mosin Nagant movie is Enemy At The Gate. Got an M44 as a gift from a good friend in 2010. Mine is also from Izhevsk and stamped 1944. The stock is a laminated wood, not like yours. However, all serial numbers match. It shoots great and the 7.62x54 Rimmed fodder is getting expensive nowadays (ain't everything?). Used to be a lot cheaper. Now at 70 years old I find my M44 seems to weigh a freakin' ton. Recoil is also an issue for me now with prolonged firing. Will never sell my Soviet piece of history. It's a swell rifle, fuhgeddaboudit.
They made so many a lot went from factory to cosmoline vat to long term storage - often in a mine - then to the milsurp market after the wall fell. I doubt there are any in America out there in private hands that can be traced to the Battle of Stalingrad. But I could be wrong.
That 1944 date is on the barrel. The receiver is often older. I have a Finnish M39 that is dated 1942, but the receiver was made in 1896. My M44 has a 1946 date, but the arsenal probably took a beat up 91/30 and refurbished it, with a new barrel, in 1946.
I've always found shooting Nagants really satisfying. Its old, loud, kicks hard, spits fire, and punches through brake disks, filing cabinets, pentium heat sinks, and lots of other stuff. Is it the greatest bolt action ever made? No. But it does its job admirably for a gun design older than any living human.
When I was first looking at guns I could buy the second I turned 18. The mosin was very. Very high on that list. Insanely huge cartridge for the money, Decently accurate, and its russian AF. I actually was gifted my 91/30 by my uncle who got me into firearms shortly after I graduated highschool and I still pull it out of the safe regularly. Just ridiculously fun to shoot and just the right amount of recoil to remind you that you're alive.
My first ever rifle, when I was 19 years old, was a 1939 M91 Mosin. I bought it for about $100. It's what got me in to guns. People say it's garbage, but as they say; "One man's trash is another man's treasure." I treasure that mosin of mine. Especially since it has currently quintupled in value since I bought it.
@PV, I saw it on youtube about two years ago. They did Mosin, Mauser, and Arisaka torture tests. The Arisaka they even tested shooting a lodged bullet out of the barrel using another round.
I love that rifle so much. My dad got his M44 back when they were surplus, and he got one for 50 bucks. He got a ammo box of the surplus ammo too. He still has it. It has the Russian letters all over it. Since it is that old surplus ammo, its got all the salt in it, so he has to clean it with hot water afterwards. One thing I noticed while shooting a bit of range, is that the bayonet makes it shoot straight. I was shooting with and with out the bayonet, and it shot to the left a bit with out the bayonet. THANK YOU BRANDON HERRERA FOR MAKING A VIDEO ON MY FAVORITE RIFLE!!!
I fired mine at the local indoors range once and caused an involuntary cease fire as everyone wondered WTF kind of cannon I had brought that belched a four foot fireball and rattled... well, everything in the range.
You have to clean mosin-nagant rifles every range day. Most of the military surplus ammo has corrosive primers, that will cause a ton of rust if you don't clean it.
This why the Mosin is still one of my favorite guns. The buttery smooth bolt, the devastating cartridge, and a beautiful gun. You just can't beat it. I'm sure you already know but the folding bayonet made for one less thing that the soldier had to carry. Plus your right it looks badass.
Yeah, BUT in order to get a buttery smooth bolt, you'd need to THOROUGHLY clean the gun from cosmoline, spend three hours polishing the bolt to remove all the machine marks, and most likely replace the recoil spring. Cartridge is great, especially Barnaul ammo or even Red Army stuff is pretty good. With the surplus ammo running dry and costing MORE than normal, modern-built ammo on Gunbroker, it more like a collector's item. It does wear on you if you shoot it a lot without a stand, and its heavy as shit, especially compared to modern day bolt actions.
While the Mosin's are fun and collectable rifles, I have to say the Finnish Valmet variants I've handled are step above the original Mosin's. Those Finn's knew how to rework and improve a rifle.
@@DJ_Bonebraker And 2 Soviet snipers got over 500 with Soviet Mosins. And like 50+ went over 300 each with their Mosins. The only other sniper who went over 300 was a German with a Mouser if I remember correctly, and he is behind dozens of Mosins. Just because we get some shot out rifl s full of cosmoline does not mean they are inherently bad. It's like ALL 40 or so record kills are done with Mosins.
Not only the rifle, but ammo as well. After Finnish independence leaving Russian forces left large amounts of 7.62x54R ammo that was tested and found wanting, so development was started to create improved ammo from that. Hence 7.62x53R round was developed with tighter tolerances to increase accuracy among other things. This had minus side that one really should not use 54R rounds in 53R rifle, unless lock shuts with out any excess force, but you can fire 53R from 54R rifle with out problems. This created few issues on the front, but Fins were easily able to utilize ammo "borrowed" from the neighbors by sending them to factories to be salvaged as materials reloaded into 53R cases and utilizing enemy rifles and in Finnish and Soviet Maxim machineguns. In the end it was total clusterfuck in the front and in reality there was more weapons than men to shoot them, but 53R did give advantage on long range shots.
@@xDarkAvengerx id trust the Mosin safety to literally never ever go off ever, no matter what sort of torture test it goes through. Will I ever use it? no
IIRC a few years ago someone did just that; invaded the home of someone who grabbed their Nagant. Except the homeowner fired that beast and hit the crook in the head. Basically went Gallagher on that melon. Pop.
Actually I think it could be a safety feature. Seriously if you find yourself in a situation where the backstop behind the bad guy is not certain you have the pike option.
@Sage Angel imagine being robbed by a guy with a mosin then you take out your mosin. Then the guy stops and admires your russian m44 then you drool for his Hungarian and you become best friends and have a chat in the couch. Then he double crosses you and 🅱️ucks your dad. Lmao
“White claw penetration” is now my second new favorite sentence Brandon has ever said, sounds like a P**n movie. If you are interested the first is“ handled the shaft roughly”.
Politicians: let's make bayonet lugs illegal. Russian gun designers: let's just not have a bayonet lug and make the bayonet permanently attached but folding.
Colorado we have weird ass laws like mag bans in certain cities lug ban they tried for a clinton era assualt weapons ban but that got stopped you can sell privately but they are pushing harder than joe to kill 80 percenters its very strange here its like half the state is effectivaly staving off the grabbers that compose the other 50% with each not giving any ground it sucls vecause everytime you hear a gunshot you can almoat be certain they will try to launch a new measure
@@ChrisBraw My home state of NY and a few others, but in NY it’s only on semi autos WITH detachable magazines, and not on every gun like Brandon poorly implied. So in NY it’s illegal to have a bayonet lug on my AR, but a semi auto like my M1 Garand, which has an internal magazine, the Democratic Peoples Republic of New York permits me to keep the bayonet lug on her. And bolt actions, like my M44, have basically no restrictions, regulations, or any special laws that apply to them other than basic long gun laws, which is essentially be 18+ and fill out/pass a background check.
Dammit, Brandon. I bought a handfull of these out of a crate, aresenal-wrapped, for $89.99 each... 25 years ago. I wish I kept all of them - now I am down to one.
Brandon, there is one shooting technique from the Mosin rifle, you twitch the bolt with your index finger, and you press the trigger with the middle finger, so you can shoot much faster
Ya they definitely shoot fireballs mine even with a muzzle break does 😂 funny thing is someone asked if it was a suppressor at the range cuz I was shooting without ear pros and I just said what 😂
Word on the street is that White Claw is for guys who don't eat their pizza crusts and 4 Loko is for guys who ask other people if they're gonna eat their pizza crust.
@UClZfaK7-a7m9diPIQ1381yg that just isnt true and you know it lmao. I own one. Looks good, sounds good and i wouldnt trade it for anything. But damn if it isnt a peice of shit
No. Mine runs good. I polished the bolt and cleaned every bit of cosmoline out of it with hours of energy. These rifles are not garbage, they're just a simpler rougher design vs what came along side her from other country. However, Mosin holds exceptional accuracy and reliability. A very good battle rifle for the average troop back then, because it was TOUGH.
Is the m44 much different from the nagant? I absolutely love the nagant, is an amazingly fun cheap rifle to get when ur younger for a first pick up, super fun to shoot, fun irons, and surplus wasn’t too pricey for that fun of a round. My bro got his for $100 with bayonet, That was a decade ago, idk what they run for nowadays
I got my mosin at gander for $89. Took it to the woods with surplus ammo. 18" diameter trees had no chance. 3 foot flame out the front. fell in love immediately!
Holy shit I was just in this guys shop a couple days ago and he was telling me a how he sold a m44 to Brandon Herrera on gun broker this is really cool! Kinda mad as ive been looking for a 44 dated m44 and would have bought it.
Hello from Ohio! I have 1944 M44 (all numbers matching) Mosin that I dearly love to shoot. About 5 winters ago I stripped it down and thoroughly cleaned it. While it was all apart I decided to strip and stain the stock. It’s now ebony black and looks great. It is truly a shoulder cannon!!! And I can’t imagine being on the receiving end of that pig sticker!!!
This is your Commisar reminding you guardsmen that bayonet charges are good for morale and totally not suicidal. Also you shouldn't question your Commisar if you want to continue breathing
The humidity here is AWFUL. I'm about 15 minutes from the border and it's absolutely one of the worst places to live. I'd much rather be in San Antonio
Oklahoma here and I agree, 85° with 100° heat index. I just went on vacation to tuscon arizona, literally in the desert, and it felt colder there than it does here.
The best way to react to this video is to say that if I had the money and a range to shoot at, I'd be known as The Mosin Guy, cause I absolutely love the Mosin rifle. I got to shoot one the first time, and it was a life changing moment.
My father had two mosins one was the carbine and the other was the full rifle and we had got a shit ton of ap rounds with them and blew chunks straight through 3 and 4 inch steel plates. Amazing rifles

my brother had an m44 that we used to shoot alot. used to buy cheap russian surplus ammo online. we had a shooting backstop made out of railroad ties that the thing would punch through cleanly. there was a like 20 ft steep hill at the back of our property with a swamp underneath it, still remember shooting into the swamp and the water went as high as the hill we were standing on. good times, the m44 (or any mosin) is the most kickass cheap rifle you can find tbh

Neat video. Favorite Mosin Nagant movie is Enemy At The Gate. Got an M44 as a gift from a good friend in 2010. Mine is also from Izhevsk and stamped 1944. The stock is a laminated wood, not like yours. However, all serial numbers match. It shoots great and the 7.62x54 Rimmed fodder is getting expensive nowadays (ain't everything?). Used to be a lot cheaper. Now at 70 years old I find my M44 seems to weigh a freakin' ton. Recoil is also an issue for me now with prolonged firing. Will never sell my Soviet piece of history. It's a swell rifle, fuhgeddaboudit.

That 1944 date is on the barrel. The receiver is often older. I have a Finnish M39 that is dated 1942, but the receiver was made in 1896. My M44 has a 1946 date, but the arsenal probably took a beat up 91/30 and refurbished it, with a new barrel, in 1946.

I've always found shooting Nagants really satisfying. Its old, loud, kicks hard, spits fire, and punches through brake disks, filing cabinets, pentium heat sinks, and lots of other stuff.
Is it the greatest bolt action ever made? No. But it does its job admirably for a gun design older than any living human.
When I was first looking at guns I could buy the second I turned 18. The mosin was very. Very high on that list. Insanely huge cartridge for the money, Decently accurate, and its russian AF. I actually was gifted my 91/30 by my uncle who got me into firearms shortly after I graduated highschool and I still pull it out of the safe regularly. Just ridiculously fun to shoot and just the right amount of recoil to remind you that you're alive.
My first ever rifle, when I was 19 years old, was a 1939 M91 Mosin. I bought it for about $100. It's what got me in to guns.
People say it's garbage, but as they say; "One man's trash is another man's treasure."
I treasure that mosin of mine. Especially since it has currently quintupled in value since I bought it.
I know. I should have bought one at the gunshow for $139 to go with my type 53. Now they want $350, trash, no hex receiver. No thanks👍
No worries, Bro! You're good. That isn't considered an "assault canon".

I love that rifle so much. My dad got his M44 back when they were surplus, and he got one for 50 bucks. He got a ammo box of the surplus ammo too. He still has it. It has the Russian letters all over it. Since it is that old surplus ammo, its got all the salt in it, so he has to clean it with hot water afterwards. One thing I noticed while shooting a bit of range, is that the bayonet makes it shoot straight. I was shooting with and with out the bayonet, and it shot to the left a bit with out the bayonet.

You have to clean mosin-nagant rifles every range day. Most of the military surplus ammo has corrosive primers, that will cause a ton of rust if you don't clean it.

@@joecary3586 I know, but it was still funny lol. Cosmonaut oil will get rid of that corrosive primer
My son bought me one a couple of years ago, and we both really enjoy this rifle. The mussle flash and percussion are beastly!!!
The best part of a M44 is lighting up the night sky with the fireballs.
A night shoot with an M44 would be a great video!
My first firearm was a Mosin, picked two up with one of the sardine cans of ammo for $100. Still have it and it's still a blast at the range.
This why the Mosin is still one of my favorite guns. The buttery smooth bolt, the devastating cartridge, and a beautiful gun. You just can't beat it.
I'm sure you already know but the folding bayonet made for one less thing that the soldier had to carry. Plus your right it looks badass.
Yeah, BUT in order to get a buttery smooth bolt, you'd need to THOROUGHLY clean the gun from cosmoline, spend three hours polishing the bolt to remove all the machine marks, and most likely replace the recoil spring.
Cartridge is great, especially Barnaul ammo or even Red Army stuff is pretty good. With the surplus ammo running dry and costing MORE than normal, modern-built ammo on Gunbroker, it more like a collector's item.
It does wear on you if you shoot it a lot without a stand, and its heavy as shit, especially compared to modern day bolt actions.
Buttery smooth?
Not on most of them!

While the Mosin's are fun and collectable rifles, I have to say the Finnish Valmet variants I've handled are step above the original Mosin's. Those Finn's knew how to rework and improve a rifle.
Well yeah, I mean Simo Häyhä used one of those to score a RL kill streak that would make the sweatiest pro Call of Duty player jealous.
@@DJ_Bonebraker And 2 Soviet snipers got over 500 with Soviet Mosins. And like 50+ went over 300 each with their Mosins.
The only other sniper who went over 300 was a German with a Mouser if I remember correctly, and he is behind dozens of Mosins.
Just because we get some shot out rifl s full of cosmoline does not mean they are inherently bad. It's like ALL 40 or so record kills are done with Mosins.
Not only the rifle, but ammo as well. After Finnish independence leaving Russian forces left large amounts of 7.62x54R ammo that was tested and found wanting, so development was started to create improved ammo from that. Hence 7.62x53R round was developed with tighter tolerances to increase accuracy among other things. This had minus side that one really should not use 54R rounds in 53R rifle, unless lock shuts with out any excess force, but you can fire 53R from 54R rifle with out problems. This created few issues on the front, but Fins were easily able to utilize ammo "borrowed" from the neighbors by sending them to factories to be salvaged as materials reloaded into 53R cases and utilizing enemy rifles and in Finnish and Soviet Maxim machineguns. In the end it was total clusterfuck in the front and in reality there was more weapons than men to shoot them, but 53R did give advantage on long range shots.
No the defining characteristic of the gun is how much easier it is to just take out and put back in the bolt, opposed to using the safety.
"safety"
Set the bolt to the de-cocking position. If trigger is pulled ultra soft pin strike. Rifle no go bang. aka rifle is fine
@@xDarkAvengerx id trust the Mosin safety to literally never ever go off ever, no matter what sort of torture test it goes through.
Will I ever use it? no
I'm a little disappointed that you didn't go "Eeny meeny miny- Mosin." at the start, seeing how it was perfectly set up by complete accident.
Imagine you invade someones house looking for an easy rob just to be met by a mosin bayonet charge
IIRC a few years ago someone did just that; invaded the home of someone who grabbed their Nagant. Except the homeowner fired that beast and hit the crook in the head.
Basically went Gallagher on that melon. Pop.
Actually I think it could be a safety feature. Seriously if you find yourself in a situation where the backstop behind the bad guy is not certain you have the pike option.

@@ChrisBraw My home state of NY and a few others, but in NY it’s only on semi autos WITH detachable magazines, and not on every gun like Brandon poorly implied.
So in NY it’s illegal to have a bayonet lug on my AR, but a semi auto like my M1 Garand, which has an internal magazine, the Democratic Peoples Republic of New York permits me to keep the bayonet lug on her.
And bolt actions, like my M44, have basically no restrictions, regulations, or any special laws that apply to them other than basic long gun laws, which is essentially be 18+ and fill out/pass a background check.
Dammit, Brandon. I bought a handfull of these out of a crate, aresenal-wrapped, for $89.99 each... 25 years ago. I wish I kept all of them - now I am down to one.

No. Mine runs good. I polished the bolt and cleaned every bit of cosmoline out of it with hours of energy.
