The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

The whole 30 minute program tonight on Midway USA's Gun Stories with Joe Mantegna is all about the history of the Mosin Nagant Rifles. This is my favorite tv show concerning firearms, and each week they cover a different firearm, or series of firearms.

Thanks! Just found this on the Outdoor Channel at 11:00 PM EDST :-) :-)

I watched it and enjoyed it. I certainly didn't learn anything that I didn't already know or learn from all of you guys, but it was nice to see the Mosin Nagant rifles on TV.

It was a broad brush overview that hit the highlights of the history of the weapon and the American interest in it, especially post cold war. The really positive aspect was his discussion about the simplicity of the rifle and how it was used as an infantry weapon by Russian "farm boys" during both World Wars. I was a bit disappointed that he didn't give much credit to the cartridge which is the oldest military cartridge design still in continuous production and used by the Russian and other present-day modern military forces.

That is certain grounds for a free ticket to buy an M39 with her shoe money.

My DVr is set and ready !!

I watched it and enjoyed it. It was a pretty good show and there were a couple of things I learned, but most of it was stuff I already knew. However, it is good to see a program about the Mosin-Nagant.

I think the thing I enjoy most when watching these type of shows is the incredible slow motion camera action. Anytime they can slow down the firing of a Mosin or anything else for that matter to the point that you can watch the bullet clearing the muzzle ahead of a blast of hot gases, then eventually all of the recoil catches up, well that is just plaon cool. Not to mention the surprise of how much these things flex and move under fire way too fast for the naked eye. There is a slow motion video on Youtube of a SVT40 flexing like a rubber gun when it fires. You'd swear it's gonna come apart.

it is also my favorite tv gun show, i could not believe my good fortune when i went to my guide and saw a new gun stories was already stored in my cable box. low and behold it was about my favorite rifle the mosin nagant. made me proud. this show is far ahead of other gun shows. i cant stand tac tv or other mall ninja stuff flooding young peoples minds. even guns i do not care for are interesting to learn about on this show.

I'll look on Netflix. I'm one who has opted out, no cable, no dish, no monthly bill. I stream stuff for $8.90 a month. though I do miss out on stuff.

I remember TV, I used to have time for it before I started up with eBay again.

Anyone know if you can stream the Outdoor Channel online anywhere? Channels like this are about the only thing I miss not having since I ditched DirecTV years ago.

I had to find it online for myself.
only found a teaser video so far
on their website http://outdoorchannel.com/showvideos.aspx?show-id=851

Now I have to figure out if I have the Outdoor Channel !!!

Very cool . I will have to look for this

no problem i saved it, come over we will have a mosin party.

Can someone post the episode online please.

Just watched it, it was good.. Like a 10,000 foot view of the Mosin.. Sill made me want to buy another ;)

A 1937 Tula nice. My '37 Tula is an PE ex-sniper.

Watched it with my wife. Her comment was "See, I'm not the only one that thinks its ugly." was hoping that she'd gain some appreciation for them. But since she doesn't mind me getting them, I'll be ok with what she said..
