Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 Reading about quiet shooting firearms that don't require a suppressor. I've read a few posts here on the SALOON about the Mosin Nagant M91/30; however, is it truly as quiet as they purport? https://www.offthegridnews.com/self-defense/5-super-quiet-guns-that-dont-need-a-suppressor/
Rye Miles #13621 Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 I have one that I bought really cheap 10-15 yrs ago. I shot it once about 5 rounds and I don't remember it being very loud! 7.62 X54, It's a powerful round!!
Kid Rich Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 I shoot one a lot. Quiet? No more than a .308. So, shoot one without hearing protection and let me know when your hearing returns to normal. kR
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 Some of that surplus 7.62×54 machine gun ammo sure barks... and your shoulder will likely bark for a while after shooting it, too. Like the opening line in an article at Wideners dot Com sez... "Mosin-Nagants are often homely, always loud and not generally known to be precision rifles." It's a good read, by the way.
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 Equal to a .308 of the same barrel length. OLG
Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted July 4, 2020 Author Posted July 4, 2020 UB, Thank's for the video. I believe with all the responses to my post, this particular rifle will not be on my list of purchases, at least for the foreseeable future.

And accurate enough to snipe a whole lot of Germans during the war. But certainly not any quieter than any 30 cal military piece. I would put the accuracy below an SMLE and above a Garand.

I regret doing so very much. If the price is good (these days, anyway), I’d like to have one. Where did you see it for sale? Cat Brules

Yer missing out, FKCGG~!! Like Bob sez, they are a TON o' fun~!
Tom Bullweed Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 I shot one in CMP matches years ago. Same bang as the M1A and Garand. I had a Finish version that shot nice groups but the lowest sight setting was for 300 paces (not yards).

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 UTAH BOB: First I shoot deer with rifle. If not kill, I stab with bayonet, Then Clean deer. After that. Drink Wodka. Nastrovia!
Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 I got an M44 which is the carbine version of the 91-30 and, well after you let go a few rounds you'll be so deaf that anything sounds suppressed. Not quiet!
Trigger Mike Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 I shoot deer with mine and they don't go far when hit with it. Fairly loud though.

Clay Mosby Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 I love my M44 Carbine, I first fired it with some new Wolff ammo and it was Loud and Smacked you pretty hard. I tried some of the surplus Czech ammo i bought and it wasn't quite as violent and loud.

They are butt ugly, loud and who ever called them "not generally known to be precision rifles" did not know what the hell they were talking about. kR

I’ve seen them for $600+. There used to be a seller in Florida who specialized in them.
Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 well I am still trying to gather back , some of the stuff , that went away with the EX at one time I had some real nice mil rifles , thinking I would like to get a hex reciver Finn , pretty hard to find and most likely in the $600 + range too many guns and NOT enough $$$ CB
