The Mosin Nagant may be overrated but I still like those old Soviet rifles, and most rifles from WWII as well. Mosins used to be dirt cheap and plentiful, now they’re harder to come by and prices have been creeping closer and closer to the $300 mark. That said [Read More…]
I have a thing for old bolt action rifles, from Mausers and Enfields to Arisakas and Mosins. I have a special soft spot for the Mosin Nagant rifle even though they’re overrated. The trusty and cheap (back in the day) Mosin was my first WWII era firearm I ever [Read More…]

Thus, the Eastern Front twice saw these two rifles pitted up against one another in countless engagements. In this installment of TFBTV, Alex and Miles drag out a 114 [Read More…]
I jest. The Mosin Nagant is not a pig. I think every gun owner should have at least one in their safe. If you have never had the pleasure of firing one, I highly recommend doing so. They are fun (with the exception of the much lamented recoil) and cheap to shoot. [Read More…]
Remember the Mosin muzzle brake post a few weeks back? Howling Raven, the same folks who make that muzzle brake posted a cycle test video on their Instagram page of their 10 Round magazine prototype for the Mosin Nagant rifle. It looks pretty interesting, it’s not [Read More…]
