death angel712 iNinja 4G death angel712 iNinja 4G COMANDER COON what nobody likes the mosin nagant sham on you dam good gun right there Mosin nagat is a semi high powered rifle it sorta suck It's not semi-high-powered, it's completely high-powered. The round it fires is the Soviet equivalent of the 30-06, which you can hunt moose with. The Mosin is a great gun, sturdy, reliable and accurate, it's just that nobody's in love with it because it's a bolt-action rifle and not an automatic. Compared to other russian 12.7mm guns it semi high power. It takes moose,deer,etc. hunting ammo but i've seen higher cal like 20mm, but your right about it being high powered. 20mm is not a rifle round. It's literally too powerful to shoot in a rifle without hurting yourself. 50. BMG is as big as a rifle can get before it's no longer safe to shoot. The Mosin fires 7.62x54R, which will go through a brick wall and still have enough force behind it to kill somebody. Trust me, it qualifies as high-powered. It is a sniper round The South African Mechem NTW-20 and the Croatian RT-20 both take 20mm Search it up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20_mm_caliberThis is for a description of a 20mm roundhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RT-20_(rifle) This is for the RT-20

i gotta give props to the nagant it was the ak before the ak. and honestly you can't get anything simpler and more reliable than a bolt action rifle.
on the note of 20mm i'd say it's more in the early anti-tank class round, and therefore not a rifle chambering. Even the .50bmg wasn't originally a rifle cartridge, the first person to think it was spent days accurizing a browning M2 and mounted a scope on it. innovative but not rifle portable.

The 91/30 is by and far the standard for rifles. Personally, I love bolt-action rifles more than full-auto because most people can actually afford an old milsurp bolt-action as opposed to something like, say, an old AK-47 or a PPSH-41.
Other than that, I have to say I've always liked the Tokarev TT-33.

Other than that, I have to say I've always liked the Tokarev TT-33. ak's are affordable mosins are cheap. I wouldnt say that mosins really set the standard for bolt rifles... they may be able to take a lot of abuse but they have a set of problems that need to be fixed in order to be considered reliable. it's a problem that lies in the chamber of the mosin where the majority of the time the bolt either gets stuck completely or is a total b***h to work. ive fired many mosins and own one as well and they all seem to have the same issue.. you should never have to beat the hell out of the bolt handle to open the action on any rifle. this can be fixed by polishing the chamber to ensure the case extracts with ease and allows the bolt to move freely. mauser on the other hand is by and far regarded by many as the standard for military bolt action rifles.

Of course, you know that, considering this is a thread about Russian weaponry, I was referring to Mosin's being the standard in relation to Russian weaponry, not all bolt-action rifles in general. However, now that you mention it, I've been having a similar problem with my M44, where the bolt will get stuck halfway down when I'm trying to close it on a fresh round. I have to use a little extra force to lock it back in place.
Also, as far as the Mauser, I've been wanting for quite some time to get one. Probably will this year, but the next item on my list is most likely going to be an Enfield MkI .303. Any advice on that?

Probably will this year, but the next item on my list is most likely going to be an Enfield MkI .303. Any advice on that? I never really experienced trouble locking mosin bolts, usually the trouble starts upon attempting to open the bolt after shooting a few rounds. when the cases expand in the mosin's chamber the rough machining/ thin layer of cosmoline that remains in it practically glues the case to the chamber walls. which is remedied by smacking the hell out of the bolt to force it open. doesnt always work though, sometimes you have to wait about 10 minutes or longer until it's cool enough and the expansion goes down. in a least 6 mosins that i've used they all have this same problem, doesnt seem to matter what ammo I use. thankfully there is a video on youtube that walks you through with eliminating the mosin "sticky bolt" and it involves polishing the chamber with bore bright.

trap master99 my favorite LMG is russian, and it's the RPK74with a 5.45mm x 39 well not exactly "witha 5.45 x39" the entire AK74 series IS 5.45x39mm one of my favorite rifles of all time, but believe me....in my own experience cleaning the corrosive salts from the weapons is a ******** chore and it has to be cleaned THE same day you fire it no matter how many rounds you shoot, even if its just one. otherwise corrosion will start to take place.. cheap to shoot though damn good rifle as well.

Really the only Russian firearm that I like is the Great SVD Dragonuv. And I don't mean an AK with a thumb-hole stock or that Romanian crap clone. You can't really call it a Kalashnikov because it was designed by a different guy. You can give it a suppressor, or use sub-sonic munitions, and it has an in-genius quick range estimating system build in to the SVD's scope. And if I could get my hands on one and gunsmith the hell outta it, this is what it would look like.

Right you are good sir. But the two are good friends and explains why the two weapon systems look similar.

I liked the makarov pistol and the look of the dragunov - saw both at the last show.

Herr Kaiser The AN-94 Abakan or the Saiga 2000 would have to be my two favourite Russian guns that aren't Kalashnikovs. The AN-94 looks like Rube Goldberg ******** a swiss watch.  Seriously Russian designs are famous for being simple. What the ******** happened?
