As pointed out in the YouTube comments, using the cocking knob before trying to open the bolt may have alleviated the lockup. The locking lug *should* be able to move small blockages on its own.
I'm not saying this means the nugget is BEST GUN EVER but it's a little unfair to not use a documented practice for opening a stuck bolt. The guys making the video have a bit of bias, but, meh, whatever.

>>
>>30113871
What does an experiment done one time prove anyway? This is not scientific unless they did repeated tests on the same day with the same batch of mud, and even then, it only proves that one rifle is more likely to perform well when this specific mud is dumped on it in this specific way. It doesn't prove much.
We have a pretty good way to measure how good this rifle was - in war, it performed at a level which was adequate. I think anyone who is intellectually honest knows that the mauser is an incrementally better firearm. A heated argument is retarded unless we all are about to go to war and for some reason we have to choose one of these two rifles.

I would place money on any bolt action locking up under that test. They put mud on it from the top where there is a large open portion of the receiver and a bolt reliant on its specified space to move. Start introducing a lot of shit in there and it's bound to lock up, although to be honest I expected it to open just fine but bind up on the forward movement and refuse to go into lockup at least.

Oddly enough I would bed that something like a Surgeon action or a T3 or something with a more tube like receiver (solid 'top' and a small ejection opening) to do better, even though their tolerances are tighter there's less places for the mud to get in. Of course when the mud does get in the results would be the same or worse.

Closed up, modern semi-autos would probably fare better initially, but you get enough mud inside the bolt raceway, on the lugs, the recesses, in the mag or the chamber and they will all bind up. Those rifles have other reliability issues that bolt guns perhaps don't have, but after all these years of development and progress it's no surprise that modern rifles are perhaps the most reliable yet made.
>>
>>30112135
Comrade, Nagants are for two-men squad. One crouches, the other fires and opens the bolt on the other's helmet.
>>
>>30112135
Okay? So you cram an open rifle with mud and it jams.

If it's a closed system it doesnt.

Other than how it's interesting to see how older bolt actions that people claim to be more reliable actually perform when compared to modern semi autos? I don't know how often I've heard it claimed that manually operated guns would always be more reliable in harsh conditions and it's interesting to see testing that proves how wrong that line of thought is. I really hope they keep doing this testing and add other bolt action rifles, maybe some older lever actions (depending on the design may perform better than bolt actions, in particular the ones with the rising locking piece that's exposed on top) and various revolvers.

>>30114267

The AK, AR, M1a, and even the damn M1 Garand did better.

Ladies and gentlemen, out of these trials and tribulations we have a new bit of fuddlore. Yes, the AR-15 vents the gas out the side instead of into the receiver like generations of retards claimed it did. No, blowing gas out in that one spot won't do anything about every single part of the action that mud and grit could enter through. What keeps mud and grit out of the AR-15 is the tight tolerances that just don't let shit fall through. An Arisaka rifle with the dust cover would likely perform much better.

>>30114380
How about completely exposed rear locking lug designs that put any exposed metal where you could easily wipe grit away with a finger or one with a dustcover like an Arisaka.

This. The Mosin is fine. It has good points and bad points. None of the bolt guns of WW2 are significantly better or worse than any other.
>>
>>30114475
I agree with what you're saying. It's also worth noting that the dust covers on several rifles, including the Arisaka, were disposed of in light of operational experience. That seems to indicate that the kinds of things that dustcovers protected a rifle from did not generally happen in typical warfare.

This is a bit of an unrealistic test, even if you were crawling though a mudhole I don't expect mud would be applied directly to the top of your rifle like this. Not if you took even the slightest amount, let alone the proper amount, of care. And I am an infantryman who has crawled through a few mudholes, albeit not with a bolt action; though I am acquainted with mudphysics. It reminds me of the test the British did on the No1 MkIII where someone supposedly poured sand over the receiver of the rifle as another man fired it, I have never seen any evidence to support the legitimacy of the test so I can only assume that it's as likely as it is not that it happened.
>>
>>30114523
Not saying it's the best, I'd just like to see how a bolt action with a dust cover would fare. Only other bolt action with a dust cover I know of is the Swiss Vetterli that most people probably don't know about.

All that struggling to get it open and all you'd have to do is hit the handle with a rock or set it on the ground and kick it one good time. Mosin are known for durability, by the way, not necessarily reliability. At least not any more so than your average ww2 rifle

It's actually isn't surprising, considering that nuggets are notorious for failing in a similar manner because people don't clean all the cosmo from the chamber completely.

You're right, it's a highly specific test that doesn't emulate anything other than being dropped into a wheelbarrow full of sand and water.

It doesn't have any sort of relevance to what it would be like to have to use that rifle on the Eastern Front, but the video pretends that it does.

That wasn't the fault of the K98's design.That was the fault of the Nazi top brass for failing to issue winter gun oil when it had become WINTER. Thus, your average German soldier in Stalingrad during the winter had summer oil that had thickened so much due to the extreme cold that the bolt couldn't be easily cycled.

The german army had no winter gun oil, they used ballistol for everything up until 1945.

>>30117001

The AR didn't fail because it's better sealed, which also cause it to foul itself and keep all that dirty DI gas inside to jam it up, but we don't need to discuss AR reliability under actual battlefield conditions.


The tests are worthless, if you somehow manage to submerge your weapon in mud, you deserve to die in combat, keeping the rifle clear is the #1 thing taught and is ingrained into your mind in boot and after.


Failing to strip down the AR and meticulously clean and oil it after a patrol will cause clicks instead on bands when all the others that "failed" this bogus test will keep ticking.

If you've ever owned an AR you'd know that the carbon does not build up in the critical areas because it is scraped away with every shot.

Remember, AR's can run fine dirty and they can run fine dry, but they have issues when both dirty AND dry.

Spray some lube in a carbon covered bcg and your AR will be good to go. (unless you have a shitty undergassed rifle).

>wow its almost like nobody stopped mid war and dumped mud directly into the action of their rifle, never cleaned it, and continued trying to use it

Glad you and I agree the test is retarded and in no way a good metric to judge a WWII rifle's reliability. Now if only the rest of /k/ didn't take the bait hook, line, and sinker.

Those of you who are more astute on your history than this retarded anon will note that John Garand was a naturalized US citizen at the time he developed his rifle.

Confirmed for never owning an AR.

Or at least not one with a properly balanced gas system.

Not Ian, but this guy tested a Lee-Enfield and it did a bit better:

I think he should have used rounds as close to the MKVII for the test, however.

I never implied anything. Go watch their video you slavaboo mong. The gas pushes mud off of the bolt carrier.

I had enough shit with broken and shitty m16's and M4's after doing 4 years as a 92Y and 13 months in environment where the only fix to keep the ones that were not literally broken or unsafe was to clean them non stop and keep them slopping with oil.


I'll never buy a AR, way to many gun designs to even bother with a piece of crap.
>>
>>30119217
Not him, but that was due to their experience in the Boer war, where they decided that it was better to have accurate long range shooting, instead of rapid fire. Later research shows that the main problems with the Lee-Enfields during the Boer War was mainly owing to poor QC for the rifles and the ammo. Tighten up the QC for both and the rifle was just fine for longer ranges.

This is ignoring (of course) that some blackpowder Lee-Metfords had also been used during the conflict.

For WW1, however, the P.13/P.14 were inferior to the Lee-Enfield for general use in the trenches owing to the more limited mag capacity, increased recoil (P.13) and greater weight.

>literally a WW1 Rifle

>only popular on /k/ because a handful of years ago you could have one for less than 100 USD

>literally the "poor man's" rifle, even though today you could get a properly made modern bolt action from Savage for only a little more money.

The Mosin was NEVER acclaimed for its reliability, its great workmanship, any of that. The German WW2 bolt actions are known for their god tier actions, the British for their god tier action speed, the USSR had a shit rifle produced in god unholy numbers that you used to be able to buy for 80 dollars.

Times have changed, the Mosin remains a shitty, sticky, bolt action. Motherfuckers have used a hammer to get that shit action open. It was never "AK-47" tier reliable, it never even had that "meme".

Mosin fags are on suicide alert because their rifles retail for 150 dollars on the lowest possible end, and surplus 54r is nearly out and comparable in price to new manufacture 54r.

I've seen similar videos with the mosin, enfield, and mauser all failing quite badly at dealing with mud. This guy:

>>30112135
lmao reminds me of the time me and my friend had to dig our truck out of dry loose ass Florida dirt with our rifles. Dropped my Mosin in said dirt and the bolt was rendered fucked for that morning's hunt.

I'm not surprised at the outcome honestly. I knew that was pretty much it when my Mosin hit dirt. The question is, how do other rifles compare? I'm a bit hesitant to do the same for my Mausers or Enfields. Not because they aren't just as or even more reliable, they are actually worth some cash...

Yeah I like what you're trying to say but holy fuck you are dead wrong.

Comparing the Carcano to anything else proves as much; it's a terrible rifle.

And more importantly the fact that a lot of the Boers were top tier shots with a lot of practical experience in shooting. Look at what happened when the BEF, a small force of professional soldiers, went to war in 1914. There were several displays of excellent marksmanship on a large scale and they had far greater impact than their number would suggest. The reason being is that there was an oddly collective and intense will for marksmanship training in the UK following the Boer wars and up to WW1, and the BEF was thoroughly trained in shooting and battle.

The rifle they had was up to the task, it just needed to be used by a competent man. Which is basically the case for most weapons throughout history.
>>
>>30119423
Watching those it seems that the Mosin jammed up a lot quicker, the same as in Ian's test, than either the Mauser or especially the Enfield. I mean you needed to use a lot of force to work that No1 MkIII but it was willing to work, and the 98 got of like twice as many rounds as the Mosin.
>>
>>30119898

Why does the Carcano constantly get shit on? What makes it a bad rifle?
>>
This is going to sound stupid , but...
most "dirt" in Arizona is sand and small rocks. It's literally wet sand, not mud. Ian even stated that there were rocks in the action that made it a circus to open. A mud test with no mud is kinda pointless. But what do I know , I'm just some guy on the internet

Yeah. Just that wehraboos are easier to troll because there's always the butthurt-refusal-to-acknowledge-that-Germany-lost factor. Notice this whole time I haven't argued once about "nuh-uh! mowzin iz teh bests". Mosins are fine. They're not particularly great guns, granted, but they'll throw lead all day so long as you don't go full retard and throw a fist full of mud into the working parts (coincidentally, just like most firearms that have ever been used in large scale industrialized warfare).

They're also fairly easy to produce in large quantities for mass zerg rush (see: T-34). When confronted with this fact, the wehraboo will post that same picture about "look at dem weldz, gawd daymn!" or a video like in the OP to give himself the a feeling of confidence that he's made the right decision with his dollars by going with a Mauser. What brings him back down to earth in a shooting ball of rage is the reminder that the T-34-85 frequently knocked out his beloved Tiger and the infantryman carrying a Mosin stormed Berlin.

If only we could harness this easily produced rage into an energy source...
>>
Nobody should be surprised that a bolt action failed when filled with mud, rocks, and other aggregate. The bolt gets stuck and jammed close, that would be the case on a Mosin, Mauser, Enfield, Springfield, Krag, etc. Just as nobody should have been surprised that the M1 or M14 failed when the gunk got into the exposed op rod. There's a reason soldiers were taught to clean their guns and why it was disastrous when the Americans were not in Vietnam.
What surprised me was how well the lever action worked. What I want to see is how big of a difference the Arisaka's dust cover makes. Or something with a pump action.

Even an AR wouldn't work if that shit got into the action, kid. The only reason AR didn't fail the mudtest is because it's so tightly made. If there was room for the mud to get into the ARs mechanism, it would've jammed and failed just the same as everything else.
