Frequently Asked Questions

How do you prevent rim lock when loading Mosin Nagant stripper clips?

To prevent rim lock, ensure you properly stack the rims of the 7.62x54R cartridges on the stripper clip. The rim of the top cartridge should be positioned slightly in front of the rim of the cartridge directly below it. This alignment prevents interference during feeding.

What are the key differences between the Mosin Nagant M39 and M38 Carbine?

The Mosin Nagant M39 typically features a longer 27-inch barrel and weighs around 9.5 lbs, while the M38 Carbine has a shorter 20.2-inch barrel and weighs approximately 7.5 lbs. Both use the 7.62x54R caliber and 5-round stripper clips.

What is the 'lift and push' method for loading Mosin Nagant rifles?

The 'lift and push' method is an efficient technique for loading stripper clips into Mosin Nagant rifles. It involves lifting the clip slightly before firmly pushing it down into the magazine well, which can be faster and more reliable than just pushing straight down.

Why is cosmoline mentioned in the Mosin Nagant video?

Cosmoline is mentioned as a common preservative on surplus firearms like the Mosin Nagant. The video teases a future segment dedicated to the process of removing this heavy, greasy substance to properly clean and maintain the rifle.
