In the final article of this series
on our favorite workhorse, the Mosin Nagant, we will look at modern-day adaptation
of the venerable rifle for deer hunting. Over the years many of these rifles
have made their way to shooters and hunters on the military surplus market, and
the Mosin Nagant has become very popular in North America as an economical deer
hunting rifle.
To make the most of your
hunting experience, you will probably want to get a few accessories
like stripper clips and pouches, scope mounts, a recoil buttpad, cleaning kit,
bayonet sheath and sling for your Mosin Nagant. Strike Hard Gear designs,
manufactures and sells tactical accessories that are simple, tough, and
affordable. Our unique and innovative ammunition carry solutions offer value
pricing for high quality U.S. made tactical rifle gear for your AK, SKS and
Mosin Nagant rifles. Here are some of the Strike Hard Gear accessories you can add to your Mosin Nagant:
- Stripper
clips help you to quickly load the ammo into your rifle without having
to load one round at a time. Each zinc-plated steel clip holds five 5 rounds.After
the magazine has been loaded, the stripper clip is removed and set aside for
reloading.
- Stripper clip pouches come in handy when you
carry larger quantities of ammo. Strike Hard Gear’s stripper clip pouch
works with your favorite MOLLE chest rig or other platform. Made of milspec
materials and using top quality construction methods, this Strike
Hard Gear original offering will take any beating you can give
it.
- A buttstock pouch is another
ammunition-carry option for quick reloading. The snap closures on the buttstock
pouch keep your ammunition secure and ready for use, and the shockcord lacing
ensures a fit over your custom cheek rest or any stock option.
- A recoil buttpad will take the sting out
of those shots from your high-powered Mosin Nagant. It reduces recoil by 25 to
40 percent and mounts easily using your existing buttplate screws. It also adds
an extra inch of length of pull, which is helpful as the original was designed shorter to accommodate thick Russian military
winter coats.
- Having a great scope is essential for most hunts and gun field
activities, so you want a quality scope mount that is stable, sturdy and
reliable. Strike Hard Gear carries both a scope mount and a short scope mount that replace the rear
sight leaf without permanently altering your rifle.
- A rugged bandolier allows you to carry up
to 10 stripper clips or 5 Garand clips tucked quietly and securely in a tough
water resistant pouch. Easily stow and retrieve your clips through
the convenient top opening pocket that is secured by a handy and silent snap.
- Another accessory you
will want to purchase is a cleaning kit. A Mosin Nagant rifle
cleaning kit consists of a muzzle protector, cleaning rod jag, cleaning brush, firing
pin depth gauge w/ screwdriver tip (flat) and a canvas pouch. These are all
standard items that were found in the cleaning kits of the soldiers when they
were issued the rifles for war.
- A Mosin Nagant rifle can get quite heavy. The size and weight is
definitely not easy to carry along as you’re walking, so consider getting a sling for it. A sling will help you to balance
the weight of the rifle along your body rather than just in your arms and
shoulders.
- Safely carry your Mosin Nagant bayonet with you in Strike Hard
Gear’s exclusive bayonet sheath. The snap closure keeps
your bayonet secure and the grommet at the bottom provides a lashing point to
your leg or pack.
The
Mosin Nagant is a great bargain and a thoroughly dependable hunting rifle. With
a little effort and a few great tactical accessories from Strike Hard Gear,
you can outshoot fellow hunters who’ve dropped hundreds more on their
rifle. All in all, you’d be hard-pressed to find a rifle with more bang
for the buck.
