Brick Fight Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 The Mosin was a rifle that could hit its targets, and be produced in massive numbers under the most strenuous conditions for troops of various levels of training. I'd rate that as good. Also, I never get the trigger thing. The Mosin's always just felt like something you give more of a down-knuckle than a finger-tip to keep the rifle from moving while aiming. I guess it's the gun community's penchant for hyperbole, but the people who almost go to tears about how heinous the Mosin trigger is makes you wonder if some people have any muscular mass in their index finger.

Sturgeon Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Yeah, I hear ya Brick. I have gotten to the point where I feel like my Arsenal AK's trigger is delightfully crisp (it is) and light (it's over 8lbs).I have repeatedly chosen rifles with heavy triggers (not on purpose, just how it turned out), and I dry fire a lot, so that's the result.

Walter_Sobchak Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 The Soviets won world war 2 don, that answers your question Well...yes. Not sure it says much about the quality of rifle though. Frankly, it seems to me that bolt action rifles were not all that important in WW2. Whatever firepower was generated by the infantry came from machine guns and mortars and the majority of the killing was done by artillery. I doubt the quality of any particular bolt action rifle compared to another was much of a factor in any WW2 battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrashbotUS Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 I've never owned a Mosin but I've fired them a few times. I remain neutral towards them. They seem to be the perfect rifle what they needed to do during the time they needed to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostCosmonaut Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Out of all 1 rifles I own, my Mosin is the favorite. (I've never had any real issues with it, other than the cleaning rod getting stuck and being impossible to remove.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khand-e Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 SO TACTICAL That's it, that does it, someone literally made pimpmygun a real thing. (As "real" as airsoft can be I guess). I need a drink, or 5 and a few lines of coke preferably. If anyone ever wondered why I have a pretty massive hatred for airsoft faggotry, this would be a pretty glaring example of why.

Sturgeon Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Back in the world of real guns, The Ammunition That Was Foretold has indeed come to be and now there's no going back: I actually have a small gripe, which is that Hornady seems to be reusing polymer bullet tips from their other VMax projectiles, so they don't quite match the bullet's contour. This would be a non-issue, mind you, if the bullet tips were very straight, but in fact they tend to be a little big crooked. Not a big deal, since I am not using this as long-range ammo, but it still explains why the BC figures for these bullets are so low. They'd be a lot higher if Hornady could actually mount the tips on straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashbotUS Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 I wonder how seriously that would impact accuracy at range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturgeon Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Hard to say. It would create vortices on the tip that would reduce BC, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khand-e Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Clearly Hornady doesn't prioritize calibers used by dirty godless commies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to be the perfect rifle what they needed to do during the time they needed to do it. If I could ask for any improvements on the Mosin, it'd be for a longer bolt handle or bent bolt handle. Just a little more leverage would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
