Mosin Nagant decocker: I think not.

I know you guys don't need this explained to you but I was surprised by the number of views I got on this video. I was more surprised to fine a guy in the comments section still trying to defend the idea of a decocker. I'm am never surprised by peoples ingenuity in finding new ways to kill themselves.

Thats odd but you can just click on the link. i think it sometimes takes time for the imbedded video to show up. i always have problems with it.

OP, you are partially correct about the last part in your video. A CORRECTLY installed magazine and interrupter will prevent rim jams most of the time (and a correctly installed Finnish HV mag makes it seem to feed as well as a Mauser magazine), BUT, and this is a pretty important point, a large percentage of Mosins either have their magazines and/or interrupter incorrectly fitted to the stock and action and/or they just have sloppily made parts. Because of this, a large portion of the Mosins out there have major issues with rim jams and having the rims stacked in the clip is a must for them to feed reliably.

Another thing that can cause rim jam issues is an incorrectly tensioned interrupter, and because these rifles are almost all over 60 years old (or at least decades since their last rebuild), a lot of those springs are no longer have the correct tension. Now, this is an easy fix, but it does require some mechanical knowledge to understand.

This is the first time I am hearing of this Mosin decocker shit, what kind of a ****in' idiot would accept such information. If I saw someone do that with a loaded weapon near me they would be smacked in the back of the head so hard their dentures would fly out. This comes down to the lack of mechanical ability in a society dumbed down, anyone with basic mechanical skills should be able to deduce on their own how the rifle functions, and figure out pretty quick what to do, and not to do with it. ****, this is a world top heavy with morons.

Jim you're asking for people to have common sense and it's becoming a lost art. In our bubblewrap world of protecting people from themselves the end result is people stop thinking for themselves. Common sense is lost as well as personal responsibility. The herd no longer gets thinned and ultimately the whole herd is at risk. See where I'm going with this.
I thought about this post after reading it last night. You'd have to chamber a round then open the bolt with a live round then rechamber it partially....and pull the trigger. To what end? So you can have a loaded gun with no way of firing it unless you recocked. Makes no sense. What does make sense is it's dangerous as hell to do with a live round no matter where you are, in the house or at a range.

to recock you can pull back on bolt cocking piece instead of using bolt handle. but it is still not safe to do as firing pin moves forward when trigger is pulled. unsafe practice.

Thats what I was thinking. Recocking isn't the problem its the fireing pin sitting against the primer.

I'm glad I watched the video, I had no idea you could open the bottom of the magazine.

If you couldn't open the bottom of the magazine, how are you going to get the pliers out LOL!!! (reference to redneck video)

I have never heard of this being a decocker either. Some people and their minds...sheesh. It is ok for the herd to get thinned but some times they accidently thin you instead of themselves

Why would anyone thinks that decocks the rifle?

Definitely not safe!

Who the hell sits around and has time to figure out different ways to maim or kill yourself? The stupidity of humans never ceases to amaze me.

You would literally have to be a fool and have no care for your own safety and the safety of others to try such a thing. It amazes me what goes through peoples minds trying such shit.

WOW...Now there's an accident waiting to happen.
