Ralph's Guide to Buying Your First Mosin Nagant 91/30 Pt. 1 - The Truth About Guns
Ralph’s Guide to Buying Your First Mosin Nagant 91/30 Pt. 1
The Mosin Nagant 91/30 is a blunderbuss with a bad attitude, a fierce weapon of war from the tip of its pig-sticker bayonet to its skull-cracking iron butt plate. The original 91 was introduced in 1892, improved in 1930, and remained Russia’s top infantry rifle until 1945. Like the Ivans and Ivanettes who carried this beast through seven wars, the Nagant rifle packs a punch. It’s big, robust, heavy, loud, rude, sometimes crude, iron-balls tough, ugly in a beautiful way, cheap, historic and a whole lot of fun if you go easy on the vodka. Whoa. I just kinda described myself if I drop the historic thing and add more vodka . . .
The Russians made more Nagants than they did those annoying matryoshka dolls – those fat-chick dolls that open up and there’s a smaller babushka inside that one and you open that one and there’s a smaller one inside that one and you keep on going and going until you want to grab a sledgehammer and smash every freakin’ one into subatomic Soviet-era sawdust. Yeah, I don’t like them either.
Because Nagants were made by the bazillions and never thrown away, they don’t cost very much now. Prices start at about $75 bucks online and less than twice that in your local store. The online deal looks better, but when you add in the shipping and FFL fees (if you don’t have a C&R License) and the fact that the rifle can’t be checked out beforehand, maybe it’s not.
Nagants are also cheap to run. 440 round spam cans of milsurp ball ammo cost only a few rubles. Modern hunting ammo in 7.62x54R costs a few kopecks more, but still less than hunting rounds in .308 and .30-06. Cheap to buy, cheap to use, what’s wrong with that, comrade?
Every collector, recreational shooter, amateur historian or general firearms enthusiast should own at least one Mosin Nagant 91/30. Anyone who believes that battle rifle technology began and ends with the M-16 can turn away in horror, because this is a guide to buying and tuning your first Mosin Nagant 91/30. There isn’t much to dislike about the Moist Nugget (as it’s affectionately known), but there are a few myths and truths you need to know.
The Good, the Bad and the БЕЗОБРАЗНЫЙ
The Nugget does not have a reputation for great accuracy. Okay, I’m being charitable. The fact is that the standard infantry 91/30 isn’t a sub-MOA thread cutter and never will be. However, as a battle rifle, Nagant accuracy ought not to be measured in MOA, but in MON — Millions of Nazis. It’s the rifle that won the Battle of Stalingrad, which is accurate enough for me.
Westerners have heard that “General Winter” defeated the Wehrmacht. Oh, really? Well, then, exactly who was blowing all those Storm Trooping bastards straight to hell during those sultry summer on the Eastern Front? The Russian winter slowed the Germans up, that’s true, but it was the Nagant that knocked ‘em down — and it didn’t take half a year off to get its wind back.
91/30 construction at the height of WW2 was fast and furious. Wartime models show tool marks and rough stocks and a whole lot of other cosmetic defects that should not affect their function. However, the quality of prewar Nuggets was good to excellent in the Russian way, meaning they were purpose-built for an army of illiterate muzhiks and the guns worked, always.
Every gun was crazy overbuilt so it would withstand constant Arctic combat and kill from either end. Despite what you think you know, Russian metallurgy of the period was on a par with Western Europe’s. Finally, after the war the Russian military stored seventeen hundred million trillion of these rifles (more or less), using up the entire world supply of cosmoline in the process. So, there’s no shortage of Nuggets available – yet — although they are getting more difficult to find.
Next gripe — the Russians used corrosive ammo. Yes, it’s true, and so did every other WW2 army, but if properly maintained the rifles remain battle-worthy until this very day. Ivan had to keep his rifle in good shape because if he didn’t he’d end up on that long lonely roll of dead commies. And I won’t hesitate to remind y’all again that Russian ammo shredded the Wehrmacht more than it did the Nagants, so don’t overthink this issue.
Then there’s the safety. This is a real issue and not a myth. Some people say, charitably, that it blows. Well, yes. Actually, it does. Totally. It’s not unsafe, but for hunting, it’s noisy enough to scare off a hungry mama grizzly and her cubs. Even at the range, it can’t be operated easily by anyone who doesn’t have steel appendages. It’s slow to engage or disengage. Other than those “minor” quibbles, it sucks.
The only good thing that can be said about the Nagant safety is it that it’s unlikely to fail because, unlike a cross-bolt, bolt interlock, trigger disconnect or other Twentieth Century appliance, the Nagant’s Nineteenth Century cocker physically locks the bolt to the high-side of the receiver. It would take a mighty blow to dislodge the safety, but there’s no other good news about this Communist torture device except that it beats being water-boarded.
And then there’s the Nugget’s trigger. I read somewhere that the pull is longer than the Volga. That’s silly, since the Volga is 2,293 miles long and the Nugget’s trigger pull is maybe half that, tops. Besides, a lot of combat triggers have a long and crusty pull – think of the M-16 as one example. The Nagant trigger is as lengthy as the Don and as creepy as a mortuary, but it’s not much worse than a lot of basic triggers.
Anyone who wants a match trigger on a Nagant can get one from Timney or Huber, but I wouldn’t bother. Oh, since a trigger return spring was considered a potential weak spot, the Nagant doesn’t have one and honestly, it’s not necessary. If you insist on having one, a return spring upgrade costs under $10 and it’s an easy install.
Which brings us to the grip, which is as straight as Chuck Norris. The venerated Springfield 1903 had the same grip, which didn’t seem to bother the doughboys when they were tramp-tramp-tramping through Belleau Wood using Hans and Franz for human target practice. It’s also the same grip found on English-style shotguns and didn’t bother Elmer Fudd while Bugs was driving him cwazy. AR-lovers might think I’m cwazy too, but the grip doesn’t bother me at all.
Finally, a few words about cosmoline, the icky crap that puts the Moist in the Moist Nugget. One day, many centuries ago, the devil blew his nose like a flugelhorn and what shot out was cosmoline. Warm cosmo has the tantalizing aroma of freshly-poured road tar on a hot day. It’s gooey and it sticks like baby vomit. It’s darker than the interior of a bat’s colon. It gunks up the works and it’s gotta be removed or it will shut your rifle down and maybe make it unsafe.
I love it, though, because without cosmo, these military relics would have rusted away to Battenberg lace eons ago. It’s not difficult to de-cosmo a rifle, but it’s a time-consuming PITA and can’t be done at the show or store. If you find a Nugget that’s still “in cosmoline,” that’s not a bad thing, but it’s going to make it tough to check the rifle on the spot.
This much I promise: with a bit of time, effort, affection and engine degreaser, this ugly duckling can be turned into a very presentable duckling with no or very light non-Bubba gunsmithing. No, it’s never going to be a swan. On the other hand, a modern tack driver is never going to be an important piece of world history.
Choosing Your First Mosin Nagant 91/30
Let’s begin with the inevitable safety warning: Know and obey the rules of gun safety before you handle any gun, even one that’s older than you and should know better. Keep the muzzle pointed in the proverbial “safe direction” at all times, which as far as I’m concerned means “not at me.” You will need to depress the trigger when you’re examining Nagants, so check and double check to make sure the rifle isn’t loaded and neither are you.
Don’t do any of the following tests with a loaded rifle — if you shoot somebody while you’re flagging the room, that somebody may get pissed off and return the insult with an ever larger and more powerful gun. While it’s true that we should all reduce our carbon footprints, premature death by gunfight would be an extreme way to Save the Planet.
There are Nagants to shoot, and there are Nagants to collect. If you’re looking for wall-hanger, this won’t be the right guide for you. To find a shooter, shop for your Moist Nugget the same way my beloved GF shops for shoes – absolutely freakin’ relentlessly. Whether at a gun shop, gun show or private face-to-face transaction, remember that there are still plenty of Nuggets around if you look for them, so there’s no reason not to buy a nice one. Do your due diligence and you’ll make a lifelong friend.
So you go to the show or store and spy a Nagant beckoning from the rack, or you meet up with Bubba and he shows off his well-used “Roosky” rifle. Whaddaya do?
Assuming the rifle is relatively free of gunk, check the stock. Well, duh. Did you really need me to tell you that? Check for cracks, ugly gouges and Bubba’s classy “improvements.” Minor dings and compressions are to be expected, but if a Nugget doesn’t have sound wood, put it down and say до свидания, кот котенка – that’s “das bidania, kitty cat.” Why bother to repair a damaged stock? Also check the shellac and tenderly run your fingertips over the wood.
If the surfaces are sticky, slimy or just look wrong, the furniture’s been poorly redone. If the shellac is dull, rough or worn away, the furniture needs refinishing. Anyone who enjoys woodworking and is prepared to invest a little time and money to spruce up a stock needn’t be deterred.
On the other hand, if you don’t know Elmer Formby from Elmer Fudd, Elmer Gantry or Elmer the Cow, say до свидания. Some Nagants have been sporterized with synthetic stocks, which is fine for anyone who likes old wine in new bottles. To me, its heresy and whoever does such a thing should be have the Nagant’s eighteen-inch long spike bayonet shoved right up their old Moon River, if you get my thrust.
Nuggets are infamous for “sticky” bolts that are not always evident until the rifle is fired. There are a number of causes of “sticky bolt syndrome.” Cosmoline can harden and coat the chamber like shellac. When the bolt heats up, the cosmo softens and turns to mucilage. There could be a burr in the chamber. There could be a lot of things. Look for a sticky bolt by working it several times. The Nagant’s bolt is far from smooth like a Krag’s, but it should open, slide and close with mild pressure or a “keep-your-hand-out-of-the-cookie-jar-you-little-brat” lovetap.
If the bolt requires persuasion by force, deadly or otherwise, just say до свидания and pass it by. A sticky bolt can be cured, but why choose a rifle that’s already a bigger ball-breaker than Hillary Clinton? Open the bolt and point the barrel straight up without scaring any passing pilots. Give the rifle a little shake or slap, or touch the bolt handle lightly, and the bolt should slide open on its own. Ура!
Function-check the safety. The cocking knob looks inviting, but it’s so close to the stock that there’s no way to grab it properly. Seated or standing, brace the butt on your leg, body or crook of your elbow with the bolt closed. Squeeze the knob between the first two fingers of your strong hand, or your thumb and forefinger (which never works for me).
Now, pull back on the cocking piece, rapidly turning the knob counterclockwise and the rifle clockwise at the same time. With two hands sharing the work, deploying the safety is half as difficult. The bolt should now be locked to the receiver. Pull the trigger and nothing should happen. When you get your rifle home, practice this move until you need orthopedic hand surgery. Ten turns ought to do it, maybe less if you frequently limp-wrist your Wonder Nine.
In our next thrilling episode, we’ll inspect the crown and if you’re not bored we’ll check the bore. We’ll measure the firing pin depth and head spacing. We’ll look at some markings and – cover your noses – remove any remaining cosmoline. I have a tip on the last one that will make y’all heroes to your spouses. In the final chapter, we’ll sight her in, tune her up and blow some shit to smithereens.
I hope that anyone interested in purchasing and spiffing-up their first Moist Nugget will find this series of articles useful and amusing. Comments, suggestions and contributions of a non-financial nature are invited from members of TTAG’s Armed Intelligentsia or anyone else who knows and appreciates the historic Mosin Nagant 91/30.

Get our Newsletter?zil prepares for City’s visit tonight confident that Arsenal can seize hold of the title race
Graham Hughes/The Times
?zil and the rest of Wenger’s squad are involved with Arsenal Foundation projects
Arsenal Football Club/David Price
All the humility that Mesut ?zil shows in putting the team first, focusing on
selfless assists rather than the glory of scoring goals himself, was
nurtured by strong, principled parents. All the balance and beauty that
defines Arsenal’s graceful playmaker was developed on a hard, pebble-strewn
surface in Gelsenkirchen. The shaping of ?zil, a World Cup-winner and one of
the most-acclaimed players of the Barclays Premier League season, started in
the old coal-mining region of the Ruhr.
An hour in ?zil’s enlightening company at London Colney on Saturday reveals a
footballer with principles, who still plays the game and lives his life to
the values demanded by his parents, who had little money but plenty of love
and advice for their four children.
“My parents gave me the right principles, so I didn’t get carried away,’’ ?zil
says. “They always told me to be down to earth, that I was not special. They
told me always to be nice to people. They said: ‘You maybe have the ability
to be a football star but it doesn’t make you better than your brother and
sisters. Respect each other. Be together’. That’s how I grew up. It’s a
cultural thing.”
“I’m a religious person,” he says. “I grew up like that with my family. For me
it is important that I pray. I pray on the pitch. I’m not doing this to show
people I am Muslim, or that I’m a believer, I do it for myself. It’s about
my faith. At Arsenal, all the team give me respect. They respect my
religion. I respect their religions.
“There are some similarities with Berlin but there’s no place as multicultural
in the world as London.”
He goes into town, appreciating the capital’s many cultural and culinary
charms. “Footballers are still humans — we have to enjoy life.” he says.
“People are asking me for autographs or pictures, but it’s a part of my life
I’m used to. I try to live my life as I want to. I go to the cinema,
restaurants, with friends, just leading a normal life.”
A normal life. His upbringing forged a strong social conscience manifested in
his foundation. Last year, ?zil started inviting disabled children to
Arsenal games. He invited children with cancer to his private box at the
Emirates Stadium. During the World Cup in Brazil, ?zil funded German doctors
to go into villages in the Amazon and operate on children with cleft
palates. They started with 11 operations. After the final at the Maracana,
?zil told the doctors: “Let’s do more.” So another 23 children had their
lives transformed. ?zil’s doctors are now in Africa.
“I want to help people in need but I don’t want people to know I’m doing it,”
he says. “Usually I don’t like talking about it. I come from a background
where you don’t show off the good things you do. It’s modesty. My aim is
helping kids. Kids are the future. I love children. I’m thinking of my own
childhood. I know where I’m from. If I wanted something, I couldn’t get it.
Life wasn’t easy. Things I didn’t have in the past I try to give to kids. I
know how it feels not to have things. We were poor but we had enough food to
eat. It was a big family, four kids, and it was not like you could just go
and buy something. But we had the essentials, the food.”
?zil and the rest of Arsène Wenger’s squad are using today’s match against
Manchester City to raise funds for the Arsenal Foundation. Each player
donates a day’s wages and fans are being encouraged to go on the club’s
?220,000 was generated last season, the money
supporting UK-based charities such as Bob Wilson’s Willow Foundation and
global organisations such as Save The Children, building pitches in refugee
camps in Iraq.
?zil takes an interest in all the causes, and a discussion about pitches takes
him back to his childhood. It was on the unpromising pitch near his
Gelsenkirchen home that ?zil learnt how to beat opponents, how to hone
techniques learnt from watching Zinédine Zidane on television, and develop
the gifts and mentality that have made him a world champion.
“I used to play eight to nine hours of football a day,” he says. “I used to go
to school and finish at 1.30, then quickly go outside to the pitch where I
grew up with all my friends until 5.30, training with the local team. After
training normally we came back and played more on the pitch.”
He would practise Zidane’s techniques and turns. “Zidane was one of my idols,
a player I looked up to and learnt from and I wanted to do the same as him,”
he says. “When he did tricks, I wanted to do the same. I always admired
Zidane. He was a very down-to-earth person. I watched how he did his passes.
He didn’t do tricks for the sake of it. He never wanted to show off. He just
played a clever game. He’s the player who decides games. I watched his
technique and tried to do that in my game, and a lot of times it worked.
“I never knew you could make money from football when I was younger. People
always said, ‘you are super-talented’ when I was 15 or 16 but I never
realised it could be a career. I just loved playing. After 16, I realised
for the first time after finishing school that I could even make money from
my passion. Wow.”
He nods appreciatively at the mention of his reputation as an honest player.
“It makes me happy to hear that. That’s the way I am,” he says. “I grew up
like that. I play always honestly. I won’t change. I don’t dive. I can’t
dive. I just can’t do that. I grew up playing on that hard surface, and I
couldn’t dive on it as I’d hurt my legs. There were stones on it.
“That’s why we never tried to dive, so we never learnt diving. We didn’t have
the pitch for diving. Even on the grass pitch here, I try not to fall down.”
He stays on his feet and remains sanguine. “In the youth teams in Germany I
was always tackled hard but I never, ever got angry,” he says. “Playing in
that No 10 position, I was used to those tackles. I knew the tackles would
happen. It is better for me to beat the tackler with my creative abilities,
not showing aggression or being angry against them. That’s a waste of time.
I focus on the game.”
?zil’s selfless traits are reflected in 13 Premier League assists, bringing
Thierry Henry’s record of 20 into range. “I’m not thinking that I have to go
past Henry’s record,” he says. “I’ve heard about the record but my aim is
Arsenal’s success. It’s lovely to break records, and if it happens it will
be nice, but it’s not the most important thing. The team is.”
Such an approach is why ?zil squared the ball to Aaron Ramsey at Villa Park
rather than shooting. “It was on my right foot. So it’s 50-50 if I score,”
he says. “I saw he was in a better position than me, so he could score 100
per cent. It is more important to give the ball to the player in the better
position than to shoot myself and risk missing.
“It would make the game easier for us if I played the ball to him, we go 2-0
in front and we win the game. Both assists and goals give me pleasure —
because both end up with a goal for the team. I’m a creative player and it
makes me equally proud and happy to assist as well as score. Of course it
makes me happy if the fans take pleasure from watching me but I play for the
team, not for myself.”
To get into the position to pass to Ramsey, ?zil flew upfield. He is known as
one of the quickest at Arsenal over distance. “I run a lot and if I see a
path where I can really counterattack, I go quickly and read the game,” he
says. “This season we mix [play] better than last season, we play more
directly in front. We take more risk, go faster and go more direct. Keeping
the ball is good but if it is better for us to attack space we can play more
He left the field early at Villa Park, walking down the tunnel as Villa fans
gesticulated at him. “They made this [obscene] sign at me,” he says. “They
were losing, 2-0 down, in a difficult position with their team, so I just
smiled at them and blew them a kiss. Some of them just got more aggressive.
Some of them started laughing.”
?zil’s demeanour reflected Arsenal’s mood. “We are a more confident team
this season,” he says. “I can feel as a player on the pitch the team is more
confident when we play. We dominate the other team. The team believes in
itself more this season. It’s not just started now. It’s been going for the
whole year. We played very good football in the second half of last season.
The players believe we can be successful this season.
“I believe we will take the three points from City. We want to win because
it’s at our home and we want to be successful. We are more hungry this
season. Look at the Champions League. You could see us in Athens against
Olympiacos [on December 9]: we just needed two goals but we went for the
third one. We showed more confidence, more hunger.”
Arsenal will need all those qualities and more in the next round of the
Champions League. “Barcelona are the hardest team in the world to play
against,” he says. “Barcelona are the best team at the moment in the world.
We know that. But as a player I look forward to encounters like this. For me
it is important to have these big games, it’s nice to play against the best
teams, to compete with them is a big opportunity for us.
“We respect Barcelona but they will respect us too. We beat Bayern Munich at
home. We are not afraid of Barcelona. We just need to play our game and we
can beat them. There is no fear. In football everything’s possible. It is a
tough match but I don’t think our defenders were afraid after the draw. It’s
a big opportunity for them to prove themselves against the best attack in
the world, players like Suárez, Messi, Neymar. It will be an exciting game,
with the possibility of lots of goals, but it’s not like we are afraid.
“Barcelona are a big team like any other big team but it is nothing special
for me because I played for Real Madrid [from 2010 to 2013]. It’s not like a
Clasico for me as in the past. I play for Arsenal.”
And he is on a mission. “If you look at history, it’s sad that Arsenal have
not so far won the Champions League,” he says. “Arsenal have always had
super players. Arsenal have always played nice, attacking football. I hope
we can win the Champions League title in the future and thank the fans for
supporting Arsenal for such a long time. They’ve been waiting for this
The arrival of a former Champions League winner, Petr Cech, has fostered
farther belief. “Petr Cech is a big plus for us,” he says. “We are happy we
have Petr Cech because he has a lot of experience. If the other team have a
chance, he blocks it. We know he will make the save and that makes us calm
and more confident. I feel better and more confident when I have a keeper.
He can control the game from the back. He is very experienced but we have
other goalkeepers who are very good.”
Talk turns to Cech’s old manager, José Mourinho, newly dismissed by Chelsea.
?zil knows Mourinho well from their Real days. “I’m surprised by what
happened with José,” he says. “He’s a great manager. I believe that any club
he goes to now he will be successful again. I know how special he is as a
manager. He is a manager who always supports his team and always protects
his team. He’s getting the best out of any player. I wish him all the best
for the future, and also that he’s healthy and fine.”
?zil left Real and chose Arsenal primarily for one reason. “Arsène Wenger was
definitely the main reason I signed here,” he says. “He’s a great football
man. He always qualifies for the Champions League knockouts as a team. We
are really happy we have such a great manager. He knows how to prepare a
team and the players. He’s very experienced. I came here to develop further
under Wenger, to learn more from such a great manager.”
Wenger regularly lauds his No 11, saying recently that “if you love to watch
football, you love to watch ?zil”. The player was once questioned in his
German homeland and initially in England. “Because of my performances they
stopped talking,” he says. “I’ve experienced so much already in my career,
positive or negative, that when the media write in a negative or a positive
way it didn’t bother me. It was important to me to never lose my happiness
of playing football and I’ve never lost that. That keeps me going.”
He believes that Germany can add the European Championship trophy to their
World Cup. “Definitely,” he replies in English, having spoken for much of
the interview in German. “We can do it because we have world-class players.
We believe. We can win the Euros.” So why are Germans so good at penalties?
“Because we are mentally strong,” he says. “I was 20-21 when I took my first
penalty. We didn’t practise them at school. German guys go, ‘If I miss, I
miss.’ We are not scared to miss. We go for it. Go and shoot. If it’s a
goal, goal. If it’s not, it’s not.”
Could he help his hosts? “I won’t teach the English how to take penalties!” he
laughs. “After the Euros, maybe.”
