Remember the Texas Precision Products Mosin Nagant Muzzle Brake we posted about a while back? Well here’s a new one from Howling Raven that has some great reviews on Amazon. It’s a more compact design than the Texas Precision but it’s similar in the way it mounts to your Mosin Nagant in that it slips on over the front sight and is held in place with a set screw. Currently it only fits the 91/30 Mosin Nagant rifles. It’s made in the USA and includes a lifetime warranty from Howling Raven. It currently retails for under $70 with free shipping from Amazon.

Now here’s an interesting Mosin Nagant conversion, two home gunsmiths converted some Mosins to fire the .45-70 Govt cartridge. They have a 3+1 capacity, fiber optic sights and a 16.25″ barrel. Check them out in action below.

The Mosin Nagant rifle is a popular firearm, especially for new gun owners. It’s low price and affordable ammo makes it very attractive for shooters on a budget. Other than the rifle here is a list of what we consider the must have accessories for your Mosin Nagant.

Ammo

This is the most obvious answer, you need ammo to shoot your rifle. Here are a few shops we recommend:

Cleaning Supplies

The Mosin usually comes with the very basic cleaning supplies needed to keep the rifle in working order. These supplies worked for the Red Army for decades, but these days there are better alternatives to help keep your Mosin clean. Here are a few supplies we recommend.

Gun Bore Solvent
If you’re shooting corrosive surplus ammo through your Mosin then a good gun bore solvent is a must, we recommend Hoppe’s No. 9 Gun Bore Cleaning Solvent. It’s tried and true and has been the go to gun solvent for years. It’ll help clean out all the corrosive salts out of your barrel. It’s only a couple bucks on Amazon.

Boresnake
While there’s nothing wrong with a cleaning rod and patches, the Boresnake makes cleaning your barrel a much more simpler task. They’re pretty cheap too at under $15 shipped.

CLP
A tried and true cleaning must have, CLP short for Cleans Lubricates and Protects does what the name implies. It can be used for both cleaning and lubricating as well as protecting your firearm from rust. If you’re shooting corrosive ammo I would definitely recommend a bore solvent as stated above, something like Hoppe’s No. 9. After using that I then use CLP to clean and protect the barrel of my Mosin. Break-Free CLP is a a good brand I’ve used for years. It’s around $6.99 on Amazon too.

Cleaning Rod
If you’re not a fan of Boresnakes a good cleaning rod is a must. Mosin’s come with a cleaning rod, but I like to use either a brass or Nylon coated cleaning rod to help protect the crown of the barrel.

Accessories

Sling
Mosin usually come with a sling when you buy them from retailers, sometimes they don’t however or they get lost when buying when second hand from someone. A good sling is a must, in case you’ve lost yours here’s a repo Soviet sling.

Ammo and cleaning supplies are a must for any firearm, with the Mosin Nagant not much is needed other than what we stated above, cleaning supplies and a sling as well as ammo is all you need to enjoy your Mosin. Below are accessories that aren’t really needed but are nice to have and can make your Mosin much more enjoyable to shoot.

Check out this amazing 1942 Mosin Nagant “Obrez” Pistol conversion. I know many Mosin owners out there thing modding their Mosin Nagants is blasphemy, but if done right I think it’s ok. Just like this “Obrez” (or cut-off in English” conversion. It features a PVC barrel shroud, scout scope rail and red dot, and a stock that can be re-attached. This thing is pretty bad ass.

Ever wanted to put an AR-15 folding stock and Magpul angles grip on your Mosin Nagant? Yeah, me neither. Whoever made this blasphemous Mosin hack job deserves to be sent to the gulags!

One of my least favorite things to do is sighting in my rifles. It’s something every gun owner should know how to do, but I never look forward to it. It’s not hard to figure out, it’s just a pain. I’m a fan of laser boresighters for my guns, even for my Mosin Nagant. I use this laser boresighter I got on Amazon. It’s affordable and saves both time and ammo.

They go for under $12 shipped on Amazon HERE.

Howling Raven posted a video to their Instagram page of their new 10-round magazine for the Mosin Nagant. It looks pretty good! Howling Raven says they’ll be made out of a “poly carbonate material similar to what most modern handguns are made out of”. This is pretty exciting news for us Mosin owners who want more capacity. You can see their function test video below.

Our prototype Mosin-Nagant 10 round magazine extension being cycled. We plan to have this manufactured out of a poly carbonate material similar to what most modern handguns are made out of. Still in the testing phase but everything is going great. #mosinnagant #m9130 #mosin9130 #mosinnagant9130 #m44 #m38
