This was a great story from a book on Remington with respect to the Russian Mosin-Nagant production: “In order to insure that his investment was protected the Tsar sent no fewer than 1500 inspectors to the Remington factories to verify that the 5000 Russian rifles that were coming off the assembly line met critical standards. The most irritating of these was a Cossack captain who became known as ‘Alexander the Great.’ His particular worry was that the rifles might fire accidently. He would take a gun off the assembly line, load and cock it and then bang the butt on the concrete floor with all his might. Of course the rifles were too well made to accidently discharge even when subjected to this kind of punishment, but as many as a dozen rifle stocks per day were cracked in this manner. Officials of the company could do nothing to stop this waste but the gunsmiths could. They filed down the locking mechanism on a particular rifle until the trigger literally hung by a hair of steel. They maneuvered this specimen into Alexander’s hands. When the Cossack slammed the butt into the floor, the rifle naturally went off, and the projectile pierced a four inch water pipe above Alexander’s head sending a steam of water under high pressure into his upturned face, knocking him flat on his back!”
Смешно читать версию от "Ремингтон", когда знаком с историей и оружием Во-первых, русские заказали "ремингтону" не 5000, в 1915 году они заказали у него 1500000 по $30 и у "Вестингауз" ещё 1800000 по $25,75 Во-вторых, "Ремингтон" заказ провалил - за весь год он изготовил только 33000 винтовок, причем большинство деталей подгонялись под каждую винтовку отдельно, это никак не соответствовало русским стандартам В-третьих, отмечалось низкое качество изготовления и отделки, при заряжании можно было прорезаться об острую грань ствольной коробки В-четвертых, эти винтовки применялись в рукопашном бою, а значит должны были быть крепкими Но качество лож никуда не годилось, они ломались при простом падении на заводской пол Русским пришлось уже принятые и доставленные в Россию винтовки снова разбраковывать и часть ремонтировать За весь 1916 год "Ремингтон" изготовил только 100000 винтовок И тогда русские прислали своих специалистов, которые буквально заставляли рабочих изготавливать качественную продукцию Это дало свой эффект: в 1917 году "Ремингтон" смог отправить в Россию около 700000 винтовок Таким образом эта известная фирма за 3 года смогла выполнить контракт только на 55% с опозданием на 20 месяцев против установленных сроков Выводы делайте сами
@@firstoptimat at that point my Bubba and Jedo were on the way to America. In 1917 all of these firearms were probably used to overthrow the government! I love to hear about the country where my great grandparents came from.
I have a Mosin M44 carbine & it's definitely louder than my 91/30. The M44 is the loudest rifle on the range & usually there will be one guy who will wander down to my table & ask "Alright who has the cannon down here"?
As well as being unreasonably more accurate than one should expect from a Mosin, my favorite thing about my Polish M44 is that the muzzle report is not far off of the light heat and noise thrown off by a 9banger DD "grenade". "LoL, spikey polish boy go boom"
Also, which dinosaur? You probably think T-rex for a T-Gewehr, but imagine the pack of raptors or a flock of pterodactyls. Herd of triceratops or Diplodocus. And plethora of others I cannot remember english names for
Another use of US Mosins was in the Pedersen Device tests. Apparently at least one of them was converted to use the Device and survived into the 1950s. It's unknown if it survives today, but if it does that would be a fascinating piece of history.
The Non-Springfield Pedersen Devices were what inspired Ian to make Forgotten Weapons back when it was just a website and not on TH-cam. He had heard about a set of Documents detailing how such devices would be made for Mosins, Lebels, and Enfields, but the last copy of said documents were lost in a fire. Ian decided that day that he would find all the documents of such rare weapons and archive them digitally, so that copies can be made and nothing of that importance would be lost ever again.

I swear I could just watch Othaias trying to curb Mae's enthusiasm and fun for hours and be entertained. I look forward to being able to support you on Patreon. Your show is amazing, I learn a lot and I'm barely breathing with all the laughs I got from "DinoTales" ...
Thats really cool that an M38 sparked all of this because I bought an M38, and wanted to know more about the mosin history, and that lead me to this channel. I love the M38! Such an awesome handy gun.
Cavalry was used heavily on the Eastern Front and the Russian Civil War. Big open spaces. There was never really a interconnecting network of trenches as we saw on the Western Front. Battles took place over key river crossings, lakes, railroad junctions, ect.
If anyone is interested in learning more about the extraordinarily grim events of the Russian Civil War, I would recommend "Russia" by Anthony Beevor, which is the most recent and best English book on the Civil War. The great tragedy of the 4 million odd Moisin Nagants ever made was most of them were used to kill other Russians. It's not an easy read but it explains a lot about why Russia is the way it is.
C&Rsenal Your remark that your first gun that you shot and still owned was a Mosin carbine hit a sweet spot with me. The first gun that I shot and owned was a M44 Mosin, that I bought at Big 5 for $80 when I was a teenager, and would get me involve in gun ownership, I still own it, will never sell it, means that much to me of all my guns in my collection now. Thank you for that Othais.
I was in my 30s when big 5 got me hooked. Always had modern guns but when they started selling real ww2 guns at 79.99 I bought one out of curiosity. Loved the history aspect. Kind of like a dealer selling his first hit for cheep. Damn big 5. They got me addicted. Not my fault.
Heh, my M1944 was far from my first gun, but I'm pretty sure it _was_ the first WWII surplus rifle I bought with my own dollars. Largely because the guy only wanted 75 of them for it. :)
Would totally watch a show about firearms with Mae dressed like Dora and Othais in a dino costume :) probably would be the coolest show around for decades to come!
Love the show, but I'm sad to say my family never had any milsurp rifles so my first wasn't a Mosin. It was a Type 38. So after watching The Arisaka episodes and the Mosin episodes I'm just full of pride now lol. Thanks for the content! It's gonna be a long 4 weeks.
The aesthetics of the magazine/triggerguard is the one thing I like about the moist nugget, it's just pleasing to the eye. Shooting a Mosin in an Archangel stock feels silly.
I think this is the earliest I've ever been. Also have a fondness for the Mosin, as it's one of the only one of these old guns I actually own :D Edit: I love Mae's love of dinosaurs. Might I suggest C&Saurus
I have a Finnish M39 with a Remington receiver, Westinghouse bolt, Chattelruat magazine and as much as I'd like an unmolested American made Mosin I have to say this M39 is still pretty cool!
You know I've been watching this show a long time now. I got to say May is one hell of a shot I know people that can't do that consistently on a bench! I wish you guys keep up the good work
There's more than one type of Dinosaur, we got big Dinosaurs, we got little Dinosaurs, we even got Dinosaurs with plate armor! I forsee many, many, episodes of May's Great Dino Hunt. Ohh! We could do episodes where we focus on WWI or WWII weapons to fight Dinosaurs! I LIKE THIS CONCEPT!
Jason Gregory A Russian Maxim with lots and lots of belts ,mostly with explosive bullets mixed with armour piercing. After all,there is going to be a mass extinction event. Why not thin out the numbers so the meteorite does not have all the fun.
Collector friend got a Cossack sword - in the scabbard - the scabbard had a 'clip holder' (not a traditional scabbard) for a bayonet....the bayonet was present, BTW...
You have a Russian dragoon saber. Only she had a bayonet clip. Cossack rifle without bayonet. And she shot without a bayonet, so on the breech of the barrel there was an inscription КАЗ.
Jon-Paul Filkins ya know I was sitting here laughing about this, then I saw the title was literally Cadillacs and Dinosaurs.... totally going to watch a few episodes now.
For whatever reason every time i see a bit of tugging or struggling happening when feeding a mosin i burst out into laughter. Its just the nature of the beast but its almost like when someone asks a programmer if something was a bug or a feature and the only answer is "yes".
I've owned 2 Mosins in the past. One was marked as having been made in 1941. The other had the octagon reciever and was made in 1913. And that model had a shorter barrel . It was also fitted with some mounting incursions that specified it was capable of being a sniper's rifle. I just know that it was really accurate.
Nice video for sure. I look forward to the day when C&Rsenal gives us the next chapters in the story of the Mosin and other weapons that went beyond 1918. How and why the Soviets did what they did to Mosins is a story I would like to hear your spin on. Here is to another good year for C&Rsenal.
For a second when Othis "Horror Show." I thought he said "Horse ###t." "Dino-senal the Dinosaur hunting arsenal." I think Nagant was using the old Russian engineering standby; Vodka, lots and lots of Vodka.
To me the Mosin Nagant rifle is the contemporary of the US Krag-Jorgenson, which seemed to be in constant upgrade and was officially replaced after shortly more than a decade. To put it another way, can you imagine the US still using Krags in WWII? The only thing the Mosin has over the Krag is stripper clip loading.
The krag was an excellent rifle on its own merits - something like the Mosin would NEVER be adopted by the US military due to their particular high standards.
really enjoying this series and particularly like the vintage music accompanying the shooting segments. one question for Mae: sometimes you keep the weapon at the shoulder when cycling the action, but usually you don't. why is this?
Don't forget about the Austro-Hungarian squeeze bore Mosins (which really tells you they did have some strength since they weren't blowing up left and right).
There was one other use of the American Mosin. They were issued to the United States Guards, which were Federal soldiers unfit for service overseas used to protect critical sites (shipyards and the like).
As well, a small number of US mosins (as well as Russian) ended up in the hands of the Japanese. They were used along side Type 38 & Type 99 training rifles in Universities and Schools. Generally with a specially made trigger guards that turned it into a single shot rifle.
The mosin would probably be a good rifle for your mid size Dinos. Stegosaurus, triceratops, iguanadon, is be pretty confident with mine. Anything larger or more heavily armored like an ankylosaur I’d want something way bigger.... maybe something like a Boys anti tank gun?
If I had a dollar for every time I had watched the C&R Mosin videos ...... I would have enough to buy one. This video has triggered the beginning of a collecting bug - good times.
Shot several Mosin carbines (1910, 1938, 1944) the Vietnamese nicked named them "Red butt specials) due to recoil, watching Mae, shes a champ still smiling after it all
the thing about rimmed cartridge is that it is easier to produce these on a older machinery. and, btw, each time (2 in particular) then we tried to get rid of this rimmed case, we got a shake-up, so we're really do not want to do it third time, tbh.
Found myself going back and re-watching a lot of these since I recently inherited a few applicable rifles. In this case, I now have a Westinghouse 1915t, though somebody swapped the stock out at some point to effectively sporterize it.
I bought a m44 from big 5 and it had 2 notchs in the stock behind where your little finger on your right hand (if your right handed) would be from the tip of a spike bayonet.
Mae is always smiling while shooting this despite the fact I know both of you think it is not that great of a rifle as far as quality and accuracy and feeding and shooting (well you get the point) goes
Man that carbine sure does breathe fire doesn't it... The first gun I bought after I turned 18 was a 91/30 Tula Arsenal Hex Reciever rifle... It wasn't the first gun I ever fired though so even though it was special in some ways that didn't stop me from selling it when I fell on some hard times. I know I'm probably never gonna find another one like it though at the price I originally bought it at, that's for damn sure.
It appears the Dragoon you feature, as you mentioned the date as 1927, may have spent some time in the Spanish Civil War. Just noticing the wire sling hanger at the rear. Any other SCW provenance on it?
Do you guys have a 28/30 bolt-action variation of the Mosin Nagant? The same type of Mosin that the famed Finnish sniper Simo Hayha, A.K.A The White Death, used during the Winter War?
Stop motion film of plastic dinosaurs fleeing from a flaming bolt handle, a 30 second film it'll take them 2 days to make, and only 1/4 of the comments will make an echo of
Othias, I heard once that there may have been a commission at one point for someone to build a few 1/2 or 2/3 scale Mosin for the Czars children or something like that. Have you heard that or substantiated it?
23:00 Othias, yep, Cavalry became less prevelant in the Great War even on the Eastern Front BUT The Civil War saw a huge return of cavalry, in fact you could argue that it was a cavalry war, especially on the southern and Volga fronts. Was the Dragoon made in qualtity post 1917? Especially in the 1920s?
So, whatever happened to all those American-made Mosins? Did most of them get destroyed? I knew OF those, but I never knew there were way over a million made, and I have never seen one outside of a website. I really would like to have one, but since they seem rare, they are probably expensive.

the thing about rimmed cartridge is that it is easier to produce these on a older machinery.
and, btw, each time (2 in particular) then we tried to get rid of this rimmed case, we got a shake-up, so we're really do not want to do it third time, tbh.
Being from Bridgeport I'm always fascinated to hear what went on in the "Old Remington Factory"
I love knowing the fact that each year we get closer to DinoTales!
My favorite Mark's are notches in the stock from kills. My m44 had 2 obviously from a spike bayonet.
Whomever decided on the thematic music over the pictures/period video is awesome, and needs a promotion. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Suzie.
I have a 91/30 and a Carbine... Love the Carbine... Packs a punch and very accurate.
I could not even imagine how awful clearing a trench or house with one of the WW1 full size rifles, especially with the bayonet attached.
"...and then she learnt what grant-writing was and that was no longer a dream." Spot-fuggin'-on!
Never stop Mae. Ever.
1907 carbine rare as hell .👀
A Finnish issued 1907 is rare as hen’s teeth but they do exist and there are many fakes floating around.
@@mazkact I saw a pair of them from the guy I acquired a M44 from. Big money
Found myself going back and re-watching a lot of these since I recently inherited a few applicable rifles. In this case, I now have a Westinghouse 1915t, though somebody swapped the stock out at some point to effectively sporterize it.
Mae's favorite gun to fight dinosaurs with.... the T-Rex-Gewehr.
I bought a m44 from big 5 and it had 2 notchs in the stock behind where your little finger on your right hand (if your right handed) would be from the tip of a spike bayonet.
Mae is always smiling while shooting this despite the fact I know both of you think it is not that great of a rifle as far as quality and accuracy and feeding and shooting (well you get the point) goes
Man that carbine sure does breathe fire doesn't it...
The first gun I bought after I turned 18 was a 91/30 Tula Arsenal Hex Reciever rifle... It wasn't the first gun I ever fired though so even though it was special in some ways that didn't stop me from selling it when I fell on some hard times. I know I'm probably never gonna find another one like it though at the price I originally bought it at, that's for damn sure.
It appears the Dragoon you feature, as you mentioned the date as 1927, may have spent some time in the Spanish Civil War. Just noticing the wire sling hanger at the rear. Any other SCW provenance on it?
Can you do a couple episodes on Finnish mosin nagants when you start getting into WWII?
I noticed Mae had all Alpha hits on the carbine string! Well Done!
I enjoy the history and commentary. Thanks for you videos
Dino arsenal would be a cool episode.

How long have you been on the internet? You just doomed yourself.

Do you guys have a 28/30 bolt-action variation of the Mosin Nagant? The same type of Mosin that the famed Finnish sniper Simo Hayha, A.K.A The White Death, used during the Winter War?
I have to say, I loved the sound of that carbine/dragoon/ slightly shorter Mosin
C&Rsaurnel. "But then the asteroid were declared" Cue vintage film of dinosaurs running from a falling rock.
Stop motion film of plastic dinosaurs fleeing from a flaming bolt handle, a 30 second film it'll take them 2 days to make, and only 1/4 of the comments will make an echo of
Wow I finally caught up to the WW1 series ya!!!
My first rifle was a mosin as well, got it when I was 14 on Christmas, boy was I giddy that day.
Othias, I heard once that there may have been a commission at one point for someone to build a few 1/2 or 2/3 scale Mosin for the Czars children or something like that. Have you heard that or substantiated it?
Hi guys, I wish I was half as good as marksman as the miss shooting. Awesome work keep 'em commin', cheers yall!
D&Rsenal side channel? Count me in!
P.S. should we tell Mae about the game Dino D-Day?
Holy shit that carbine looks bloody amazing 0_0
Stellar video guys!
I really enjoy variant episodes 😀 I need to see the Dino fighting episode NOW DEW IT!!!
23:00 Othias, yep, Cavalry became less prevelant in the Great War even on the Eastern Front BUT The Civil War saw a huge return of cavalry, in fact you could argue that it was a cavalry war, especially on the southern and Volga fronts. Was the Dragoon made in qualtity post 1917? Especially in the 1920s?
The world needs more women like Mae
So, whatever happened to all those American-made Mosins? Did most of them get destroyed? I knew OF those, but I never knew there were way over a million made, and I have never seen one outside of a website. I really would like to have one, but since they seem rare, they are probably expensive.
Оставшиеся 300000 винтовок от "Вестингауз" выкупила Великобритания, от "Ремингтон" (худшего качества) достались американскому правительству, их хотели использовать в учебных целях Чуть позже 100000 из них передали в Россию армии Деникина
