The Mosin Nagant: a piece of military history
The Mosin Nagant is a Russian bolt-action military rifle chambered in 7.62x54R, adopted in the 1890s and used through both World Wars and beyond. Its rugged, simple action helped make it one of the most widely produced military rifles ever.
Key features
- Cartridge: 7.62x54R, a powerful rimmed round.
- Magazine: internal five-round magazine.
- Long barrel: a long sight radius and a stable platform.
- Simple, rugged action: it was built to work in harsh conditions.
Shooting and caring for a Mosin
Surplus ammo can be corrosive, so clean the bore thoroughly after every session. Get cleaning supplies at Brownells, find ammo at Natchez, and add ShellShock hearing protection, since this rifle is loud. If you want to mount an optic, compare scopes at OpticsPlanet.
