How To Install Pu Scope On Mosin Nagant

Gun Review Polish WZ 4. LR Military TrainerThis is a reader gun review contest entry, click here for more details. By Brian Boonyalug. I fancy myself as somewhat of a casual collector of Mosin Nagants. While I have known of the Wz. I decided to pick one up. A Polish single shot military trainer modeled in the image of the Mosin Nagant M3. M4. 4 carbine which Poland actually put into service. The WZ4. 8 is now my go to firearm to use to introduce new shooters into the world of shooting sports due to its simplicity and accuracy. Produced from 1. 94. WZ4. 8 was used to train Czech and Polish military cadets. A handful of them have been imported into the states. There are two arsenal markings that I have seen, the Archer and the Circle 1. I believe that both are Radom markings however. Prices have gone up steadily, as of any surplus rifle really. In 2. 00. 6, you could pick one up for 1. I picked mine up early 2. M4. 4s and M3. 8s during the time Approx. IO imports. I have not seen any WZ4. The action, which is exactly the same as the WZ3. Mauser look alike trainer which its own action is perhaps based on older 1. Mauser design, is very simplistic, but it has some issues which could be potentially dangerous. It has a split chamber, one half being the extractor which supports the round while in chamber and affects headspace. If the extractor is out of spec in anyway, the casing will bulge or even worse, blow out, sending hot gas rearwards towards the shooters face. Spent casing of rounds shot with out of spec extractor. From Left to Right Old extractor Federal Bulk, Old extractor SK STD, ENM extractor federal bulk, ENM extractor SK STDThe headspace issue is easily solvable if you have a good condition extractor. If not the issue becomes, where do you find parts Many parts are actually interchangeable with other Mosin Nagant rifles certain sight component, barrel bands, carbine hand guards, butt plate, but the parts that are proprietary are rather hard to find. The only new production part that I know of, is the extractor made by ENM Sports. Top Old extractor Bottom ENM Extractor. Left Old extractor Right ENM Extractor. The ENM extractor is made from two separately machined pieces and welded together. The first one I ordered fell apart, but the second one has held up for the past ten months and a few thousand rounds. Unfortunately they are currently out of stock, but from what I understand, a few batches have been made every couple of years, depending on demand. One other part commonly needed is the firing pin. I dont know of anyone selling aftermarket pins, but I have read of a few people creating their own fairly simply. Top to Bottom M9. WZ4. 8, M3. 8Design and Ergonomics. Design and Ergonomics. I must disagree with the old TTAG review of the Mosin Nagant 9. If anything, it looks generic to those not into firearms. I personally think Mosins look wonderful, even more so carbines, M3. They sit in the same stock and share a few parts with other Mosins. Sporterizing the Mosin Nagant Part 8 Drilling and Tapping for the Rock Solid Mount Duration 1048. Garmin Gpsmap 62Stc.

Design and Ergonomics I must disagree with the old TTAG review of the Mosin Nagant 9130, which calls the rifle aestheticallychallenged and ugly. It generally looks and handles the same as an M3. M4. 4. Many times at my local range, which separates rim fire and center fire, I have been told to move to the center fire lanes when pulling the gun out. The lack of magazine and the longer barrel 2. M3. 8 and M4. 4 with the carbine length hand guard does make the look seem unbalanced however. Mosin enthusiasts who might not be familiar with the WZ4. Ivan must have had too much vodka one day and forgot to install the crossbolt on the stock. The WZ4. 8 is actually slightly heavier than the M3. The weight difference is not much, but is noticeable while handling due to the M3.

The weight makes recoil feel almost nonexistent and it still balances well enough to not interfere with off hand shooting. Slight difference in comb. Top WZ4. 8, Bottom M3. The grip profile is nearly identical to any Russian straight grip stock, although the comb rises at a sharper angle, almost a semi pistol grip, which feels a little better to hold. Safety Engaged, bolt cocked. Safety. The safety is much, much easier to engage than an actual Mosin Nagant, since it is a Mauser based action after all. That said, there is a chance that the safety might flick down just enough while working the action that the tab gets caught on the rear receiver. Although it takes very little effort to correct, it does get annoying when it breaks your rhythm. Descargar Emulador De Celular Android Para Pc Gratis here. At the range Left to right M3.

I must admit that I am not much of a marksman, nor do I have very good eyesight, so my evaluation of accuracy perhaps is not very representative of the WZ4. Also keep in mind that the WZ4. Not only would it have to have endured mishandling and squibs, they have also been refurbished, which also could affect accuracy due to improper part fitment. That being said, the WZ4. The WZ4. 8 is very simple to operate, like most single shot rifles. As opposed to actual Mosin Nagants, the WZ4. The slow pace of single shot shooting is quite enjoyable to me, and also helps conserve 2. LR ammunition in this age. I can only shoot the rifle somewhat decently out to 5. This is one of the better groups I have shot, which admittedly is terrible and does the WZ4. SK standard plus, benched. I only shoot steel silhouettes at 1. With targets about the size of a two liter water bottle, I can hit them reliably with Aguila Super Maximum. The standard velocity of SK Standard Plus shoots a little low to point of aim at 1. Ammo selection with an in spec extractor isnt much of an issue, but with one thats out of spec, I have found that SK Standard Plus will constantly experience failures to fire, perhaps 5. Im not sure as to why this happens. I can only speculate that the rim of the cartridge sits further out on the out of spec extractor, resulting in lighter strikes. After changing the extractor, everything has been reliable aside from when the castle nut loosens and requiring retightening. Sights. The sights mimic those of the M3. M4. 4s. The sight base however, does not match any mosins Ive seen. The rear sight leaf is marked for 2. While they most likely are in meter, they perform just find in yardage distance I have found. The front sight is the exact same as the M3. M4. 4s. Windage is non adjustable, but you can either drift it with a punch or a tool. Trigger. The trigger is light and smooth, but with some pretty massive over travel. Some owners seem to have issues with pull weight being very light, in the neighborhood of only 1 pound. Takedown. Action removal from the stock is similar to a Mosin Nagant remove the barrel bands then remove the trigger screws and the one action screw. The action screws are both located on the underside. Top WZ4. 8 bolt, bottom M3. Bolt. The bolt slides off similarly as well. Pull the trigger back and pull the both out. The extractor can easily be pulled out. The disassembly of the bolt involves the removal of the firing pin by loosening a retaining screw. The firing pin will slide out. After that you can separate the bolt handle to the rear bolt body by holding both apart, and loosening the castle nut. This is actually a very difficult step to do alone, so a helping hand or a vise is recommended. Maintenance. I have owned my WZ4. I have only cleaned it once about a year ago. The only regular maintenance most will have to do with the tightening of the castle nut on the bolt to ensure proper firing pin protrusion.
