Thread 64115497

Can someone explain to a gun noob why everyone is so obsessed with this? It's just a mass produced bolt action rifle. Don't tell me it's got "sovl".

>>64115497 (OP)
Two world wars, and it's got solv. Checkmate gunlet.

>>64115497 (OP)
it used to be extremely cheap

>>64115497 (OP)
It was the poorfag rifle after Carcano's started going up in price and before the PSA AR-15 came around.

They arent. Nuggets haven't been a meme since like 2018.

>>64115497 (OP)
There were just a lot of them and they were cheap. Past tense. But it don't matter because I got mine already.

>>64115497 (OP)
not me im a god damn mauser chud

$65 rifle pre-Obama's 2nd term. Well hell i guess in real inflation that's like $150 today.
Look at them now.
"Collector's" guns.

I mean, it is fun to shoot old guns used in a major conflict. Anon alot of people here will try to give you rational reasons on why they buy shit, but it is just a hobby.
>>64115505
Fucking This, I miss when mosins were like 200 bucks.

>>64115497 (OP)
you used to be able to buy a nugget and a spam can of like 1,440 rounds for $200 all in. not even that long ago either, like 15 years ago you could do it. now that they are more expensive they are just garbage rods

>>64115497 (OP)
So you don't own one.

>>64115611
I'll be honest, I don't like the way the bolt closing on a Mauser action sounds like. The click-clack of a Mosin is much more satisfying

>>64115716
What Mauser action, there's like five different mass produced Mauser actions

>>64115731
98 and derivatives though I don't find the 96 sounds all that different

>>64115660
>200 bucks
lol... try 69.99 with included ammo

>>64115497 (OP)

/k/ hasnt cared about moist nuggets in awhile

>>64115505
I not only remember this being the default 4chan recommendation, but the earlier $99 cosmoline SKS Usenet recommendation. I"m so fucking old.

>>64115615
Is this board old now or something? I hope no one here is older than 30.

What decade do you think it is?

>>64115497 (OP)
>It's just a mass produced bolt action rifle
It's THE mass-produced bolt-action rifle. Approximately 37,000,000 produced overall, which surpasses even the Mauser 98.

When i bought mine i gave the dude $80 and a case of beer for a 1928 izzy with a hex receiver. It’s a good cheap fun shooter and it shot the cheapest big boolet. It also has some interesting history. They arnt the best guns but were a great value for a long time

>>64116416
I'm 36. I bought my first Mosin Nagant on 2012 for 40 bucks. I paid 75 for a 440 silver tip Czech spam can. I learned what cosmoline was from my first one

It used to be $75 with the ammo 15 cents a pop back when you were probably peeing in your diapers, Anon.
Oldfags have a soft spot for the garbage rod because for many, it was the only gun they could afford at all when they were young.

>>64115497 (OP)
They built like a billion of the damned things so any dumbass could buy one.

Nowadays, you're better off with anything else

life is suffering.

>>64116436
>after SKSs started going up in price
Anon, the SKS and the Mosin were popular at the time, it wasn't that one became popular after the other one wasn't. The Mosin surplus just lasted longer.

>>64115497 (OP)
It's just a meme
You probably didn't have the chance to experience that time.
And you lack the imagination and knowledge to appreciate the history and legacy/larp quality of this rifle.

Just accept that there are still plenty of them around and that people on Reddit keep digging up ancient screencaps and images.

>>64115497 (OP)
>Don't tell me it's got "sovl".
It has killed a lot and gotten a lot killed. It is competent enough to be perfectly fuctional and usable today for target shooting, hunting and its intended purpose.

That's a lot of history and they're still common enough you can bubba it up without worry.

>>64115497 (OP)
You could get them for 60 dollars back in the day.

Gun prices are artificially inflated, if the market was healthy and not fucked by kikes everyone would own a 50 dollar reliable full power rifle capable of taking functionally any game and being entirely serviceable as a weapon of self defense or resistance against tyranny.

You'd still own all your better guns on top of that.

>>64115497 (OP)
>They were $67 when 4chan was founded
I felt ripped off when I bought mine for $170 knowing they were $120 like a year prior. Now I know what I got. techjically I have several thousand dollars of nuggets by just buying the m44 and m39 imports when they hit sweaty bens shelves and some good used gun section mismarking. All of my garbagerods were solid shooters at military rifle accuracy using the (still) cheapest center-fire mild steel ammo I could find that wasn't corrosive.

The idea people are buying round receivers for $350+ ($250 or less actually sold prices) because boomers got replaced by funco pop collecting muh speculative investment goyboys is as hilarious as it is sickening. It's the cheapest thing you'll find ammo for on a storr shelf by several hundred dollarydoos because of you think this is bad imagine trying to buy a pajeetfucked Enfield or 1903 for under a thousand.

>>64116416
45.
Mosins are just ok guns. Take away all the lovers and haters and practically it's a good fun surplus rifle. You should have one.

>>64118157

>>64116502

Better stock up while you can anon.
Tarrifs plus whatever insane inflation comes after the Fed is forced to drop interest rates are going to probably double CPR for most imported ammo within the next year or two.
Not a political thing BTW just facts, anything Prvi Partisan or similar is going to get significantly more expensive.
Domestic production will increase in price to match too because why would they leave potential profits on the table.

>>64115497 (OP)
it works well its rugged and simple its accurate and has good ballistics and youre a dumb zoomer

>>64116444
that's not why people liked it. people liked it because it was cheap as shit. if you had a commercial gun as cheap as a mosin it would sell just as well

>>64116502
straight pulls are gay and retarded, but the k31 is probably the best manual action milsurp gun considering the mountain jews used them for shooting competitions and not war

>>64116927
I remember wanting a vz but I couldn't into guns until I got my own place

>>64115497 (OP)
did this thread get sent forward in time from 2014?

>>64117636
I'd assume the SKS peaked in popularity earlier, why would you want a bolt action garbage rod when you could get a semi auto garbage rod for not much more and then once the SKS prices started getting retarded the nugget caught up and surpassed it
>>64117759
it's not a meme, nuggers, sks and vz are good guns if you are paying sub $100 for them. now they are garbage when compared to anything of equal price

>>64115497 (OP)
>Can someone explain to a gun noob why everyone is so obsessed with this?
it's a stale meme at this point like epic fail guy

>>64118840
>why would you want a bolt action garbage rod when you could get a semi auto garbage rod for not much more
You're asking the wrong question. The right question is: Why would you want a gun in 7.62x54mm R over a gun in 7.62x39mm?

Once you ask yourself this question and really think about it, you'll understand why some people got one, others got the other, and many people got both. Plus, the gun community was different before the assault weapons ban of 2001. Not everyone wanted a semi-automatic in a modern intermediate cartridge. Plenty of hunters, fudds, collectors, etc. were happy with bolt-actions, lever-actions, and pump-actions.

>>64118847
>the sks was never as cheap as the nugget
I am aware; you should probably tell that to the guy I was responding to. That being said, being able to buy a nugget for $80 while an SKS was $120 didn't stop people from getting both, as my comment alluded to.

>>64118859
because you are a pussy.

it was the daisy rifle of the 90s/early 2000s

and now let us admire finnish mosin superiority

My favorite thing was watching people who bitched about Boomers ruining old Mausers and shit butchering Mosins because "lol it's just a Mosin who cares" completely oblivious that Boomers had the same exact attitude towards the garbage rods of their day.

>>64115497 (OP)
They arent you are just a fag who gets mad when people like something old and cheap rather than only the newest top of the line bs. Slavaboos are nearly extinct now yet you fags instantly start seething at any mention of any combloc rifle its getting to be more of a nuisance than slavaboos ever were

>>64119226
there's no historical period when mosin hasn't been a garbage rod with zero historical value.

A lot of Czech gunshops still have these old ass sites virtually unchanged since the late 90s, one of the bigger boomer stores in the capital with a site like that actually doesn't have its phone number publicly available because the king boomer in charge doesn't like talking to people, so actually having the number is kinda like a secret handshake for the real knowers.

Like 20 years ago they were available for ~$100.
My dad bought one for me, my brother, and himself at a gun show.
Guy wanted $115 a piece, pops said "Hey captain, you'll give me a discount if I buy 3 at once right?"
Dude looked at him like pops stole his fucking soul right out of his body, said "Okay. $110 each."
We bought 1k rounds of wolf at the same show for ~$80.
First time I ever had to clean cosmoline out of anything.
Had a great time doing it with my bro and old man.
Was a pretty good day.

>>64118852

I haven't shot a nugget, but I found shooting slugs out of the 18.5 inch barrel of my shotgun and shooting some guys FAL to be unpleasant compared to my AR or .22. not so much the recoil as the concussion sucked

>>64119032
in a lot of the US people aren't shooting past 200 yards either for hunting or because they lack access to ranges that go that far. my range caps out at 300 yards

We spent the next hour online - How to remove cosmoline? Then we drove to the local hardware store and bought mineral spirits, brake cleaner and a heat gun. We turned his working bench in the garage into an absolute mess but we cleaned that fucker real good.
>Ohshit.png. It's almost too beautiful to shoot.
He ended up orderin another one which was the grittiest 1943 Izhevsk possible. Tool marks everywhere, a real mid-war bitch before the build quality started rising again.
He still got the Tula tho. Polished it like a motherfucker and put it over his fire place.

What do you expect from a gunstore that shares a wall with a brothel?

Currently, one of the owners has long-term health problems and is transferring the majority of the business to his partner. I don't remember which of the two.

>>64115990
Shotgun news, $79 if you bought the crate. $179 Norinco AKs. $69 Yugo mausers. I miss those days.

>>64115497 (OP)
When I was 11 in 1999, I went to a gun show with my dad. I traded a a box of old rusty pocket knives for a home made black powder pistol, a powder horn, and a possiblies bag, then traded all that for a Tula Mosin carbine. I kept it for a few years, then traded it for half a bottle of Johnny Walker a friend stole from his dad's liquor cabinet in high school. To this day, that was one of the best whiskeys I've ever tasted. My friend killed his first deer with that rifle. We parted ways after high school, don't know what became of him or the rifle.

>>64122156
well i had no idea about the brothel nor was it particularly obvious at the time i happened to be there.

>>64115497 (OP)
There were over 30 million Mosins produced and they were used extensively by every Communist country in the 20th century. Due to Communists' propensity for slaughtering Communists, the Mosin is (probably) responsible for the death of more Communists than any other firearm in history. This, as a matter of course, makes the Mosin the most based firearm in existence.
Also they were $150 f ammo was 6¢ per round for over a decade in the US

>>64122878
I bought my one and only nugget in 2003/2004 (I was around 15 at the time) for the princely sum of $60 at a large militaria show that is held twice a year in my city. Half an hour later I picked up a pristine, unfired chink SKS for $150.
Better times..

>>64116436
There were like 100 million mausers made, dude

>>64118810
Probably not. The “this was used in WW2” was all over the marketing for a reason

>>64123894
You in St Louis? Used to be a big civil war and militaria show out there a couple times a year.

Nostalgia for better times, when surplus was still cheap and life was still fun.

>>64124241
>The “this was used in WW2” was all over the marketing for a reason
Yeah, it was a shit gun they were desperate to sell. There are loads of other guns used in WWII that have nowhere near the meme status of the Mosin.

>>64124241
it absolutely would have. If I sold $90 rifles of the same quality as a nugget they would fly off the shelves

>>64124241
There's a massive unfilled void for a full power or intermediate rifle that costs under 100 dollars, and absolutely nothing besides intentional subterfuge of the market prevents it. "Good enough" old WW1 and WW2 beaters SHOULD be under 100 dollars, it is literally a case of conspiracy, not natural market forces, that stops this from being the case.

>>64126920
literally no one is like this

>>64118859
I fired 70 rds in a sitting and enjoyed every minute of the bruise

>>64127228
I am.

I bought a laminate stock nugget for 150 thinking it was an absurd price but by this point I'd already seen what had happened to the sks so I was like 'if I want one ever I have to do it now'.

I remember some ancient boomer website selling m44 moving for 59.99 with the caption “stored in a bunker in case WW3 breaks out” does anyone remember the site name?

>>64115497 (OP)
Used to be cheaper than dirt, same for its ammo and same for the SKS and its ammo, but no longer

>>64126920

SKS - Cheap but available in 1992. Thats when the SKS was everywhere with cheap ammo same round as AK.

>>64127685
Why?

>>64127722
Hell, even in 2012 you could go down to a sporting goods store in my old town and pick one out of a barrel for $69.95. And they still came with oil cans and pouches.
Not to mention spam cans of 54R were still dirt cheap.

>>64130559
>Are Zoomers just devoid of joy and humor?

Zoomers have been browbeaten by their peers into believing that the worst crime you could ever be guilty of is being cringe.
I suppose this is an overcorrection after they were exposed to mainstream "quirky" millennial "humor" growing up where millennials embraced being cringe a little too much.
Zoomers are terrified of being earnest or silly and letting themselves be vulnerable to judgment of others, on the off chance that the judgment will be unfavorable and they will be found guilty of cringe.
It's why their "humor" is so gay, it's just layers and layers of irony that they can fall back on and a "too cool for school" facade.
A zoomer could NEVER have drawn any of these.

tl;dr - yes.

>>64115497 (OP)
No one is obsessed with it. People liked them because they were $90 at any sporting goods store forever. Now boomers on gunbroker think they are gold so they are trying to resell them for $600.
