Mosin Run and Gun 2013: Mosin Nagant 7.62X54R (Part II)

This video demonstrates the process a Range Safety Officer might undertake when inspecting a 1944 Mosin Nagant rifle. It covers safe handling, visual inspection, loading procedures, and firing the rifle in an outdoor setting. The demonstration emphasizes the importance of safety checks and proper operation of this historical bolt-action firearm.

This video from Tap Rack Bang, LLC, led by Chief Instructor Ernie Medina, presents four essential drills designed for shooters facing restrictive range rules, often termed 'Fudd ranges.' These drills focus on improving fundamental skills like target transitions, trigger reset, safe firearm handling from a table, and emergency reloads/malfunction clearing, all within the constraints of limited rapid fire or holster use. Medina emphasizes achieving specific performance benchmarks, such as transition times between target zones.

This guide details how to test propellant temperature sensitivity, a crucial factor for consistent long-range accuracy. It emphasizes using a reliable chronograph and testing ammunition across a wide temperature range, from cold to hot conditions. The process involves calculating the muzzle velocity change per degree Fahrenheit to understand how temperature fluctuations affect performance, enabling shooters to account for these variations in their ballistic solutions.

This video reviews five World War II firearms, evaluating their suitability for survival scenarios. The instructor discusses the pros and cons of the German Luger, 1911, M1 Carbine, Mosin Nagant, and M1 Garand, ultimately recommending the M1 Carbine for its balance of capacity, accuracy, and portability.

This video from InRangeTV explains why the 44-40 cartridge is generally not recommended for modern firearms enthusiasts, despite its historical significance. The instructor, with apparent expertise in firearms, details the practical disadvantages of 44-40, including ammunition scarcity and reloading difficulties, compared to more accessible modern alternatives like 357 Magnum/38 Special or 45 Colt. The core argument centers on the 44-40's historical advantage in sealing black powder fouling due to its stepped case design, a benefit largely negated by modern ammunition and firearm designs.

This video explores the combat effectiveness of a 100-year-old Mosin Nagant rifle against modern firearms. While acknowledging the Mosin's respectability and ability to hit targets, the presenter highlights the significant advantage of modern rifles due to their modularity and semi-automatic function, which enhance handling and usability.

This guide details the installation and deployment of the Freedom Ordnance FG-15 trigger crank grip for the AR-15 platform. It covers the mechanical operation, emphasizing the piston-driven trigger activation via a retractable crank. The video features a high-authority speaker, providing technical insights into the internal workings and live-fire performance.

This guide details the technique for firing the PKM 7.62x54R machine gun in full-auto. It emphasizes proper mounting, loading, and stable firing positions. The VSO Gun Channel Host, with high authority, demonstrates sustained fire, highlighting the weapon's cyclic rate and the importance of recoil management.

This expert analysis from The VSO Gun Channel delves into the nuances of firearm suppressors, clarifying terminology and regulatory hurdles. It highlights the historical context of the term 'silencer,' the practical sound reduction achieved (approx. 130 dB), and the significant NFA process in the US, including the $200 tax stamp and lengthy wait times. The content also advocates for legislative changes like the Hearing Protection Act, emphasizing suppressors as hearing protection tools.

The VSO Gun Channel host provides a cautionary guide on suppressor use in home defense. Firing an unsuppressed firearm indoors, especially a 10.5-inch SBR, can cause temporary deafness. This hearing impairment poses a significant risk, potentially leading to fatal miscommunication where a homeowner mistakes a family member for an intruder. The speaker emphasizes that suppressor use is only acceptable in a home defense context if the resident lives alone.
