Mosin Nagant M1944 Reviews

great looking gun,action is fantastic

windage adjustment would be nice even though that may not be true to the real gun

at the risk of voiding the warrenty the gun shot 2in to the left of point of aim and no way to adjust. removed the rear sight and installed a dovetail to picatany rail &mounted a long eye relief pistal scope. the gun now shoots more accurate than any bb gun i have aand i have quite a few is more accurate than my diana octoberfest bb rifle with a rifled barral very happy. looks great with the scoope on.like a ww2 sniper rifle

I love the realistic feel of it, it feels like I really am holding the real moist nugget. Minus a few pounds. I especially love how smooth the bolt feels, the fact that it has a folding bayonet, and the mag is drug-free style.

For an extra bit of cash I definitely would've bought it with real polished wood finish, and a Pu scope. other than that it's perfect.

You're gonna love it, burnt wallet 'n all.

Pyramyd's customer service! You have to love it. Oh, as far as the rifle, it looks great. Very close to the appearance of an original (although I haven't done a side-by-side with my own M44 yet). And as far as I know, this is the only BB gun out there that comes with a bayonet. Sometimes you need something to finish off those unruly 12 ounce aluminum cans, and it'll do the trick!

While it's nice, I think the price is really high. But I guess this is one of those things you buy more for the aesthetics than anything else. I'm collecting air gun replicas of old real firearms. That's the real reason I bought it.

I initially received a defective rifle. Pyramyd emailed me a return label, and I dropped it off with UPS. 4 days later, my replacement is here. You can't go wrong with Pyramyd Air.

This is great fun, I also own a cartridge shooting Mosin Nagant rifle which requires me to reload the ammo on my press and go up to the range to shoot. This gun allows me to shoot in my back yard! (Just woods behind my property). It is surprisingly accurate at 20 yards. The bolt is as smooth as a Mauser bolt. Very impressive.

I would love to see a pellet version.

Get an xtra magazine.

Outstanding replica.. it cant get any better than this!

I would not change nothing!

This is very good for enactment in the videos or movies!

The gun that I received has a darker almost walnut look to the stock, I like that better than the others I have seen. Shoots to the left every shot ( no wind) but you learn to compensate. Nice replica all in all !

Windage adjustment. Real wood stock.

Nice replica and accurate at short range. Not a real powerful air gun so it's more for looks and target than pest/hunting.

Awesome looking replica.

Make the rear sight sturdier.

Put some sort of pad on the stock where the end of the cool bayonet folds back or it will start to scratch up the plastic. Also am aware that this will fit into a real stock fairly easily which would be even more awesome.

The rifle is a nice replica in a full stock. It has a correct sling and working bayonet. Gletcher went to great efforts in these details. Reviews report its weight is similar to the real rifle and it shoots accurately. I did not buy this rifle because a specific attribute is missing- the Russian markings. Too me it's just a BB toy, not a desired collector's special that most Mosin collectors would purchase in a heart beat. Gletcher missed the boat here.

Most important to a collector, not a BB shooter, is the actual reproduction of the Russian receiver markings and bolt serial numbers. The receiver and bolt are sterile. The receiver lacks the Tula star and date, say 1944. This added realism and a Russiam prefix serial number under the markings like on a real 1944 Tula carbine would have made it a more desirable Collector's Replica. In addition, the bolt lacks the stamped serial number on the cocking piece and the edge of the bolt. If these Russian markings were reproduced on the replica, its realism would be fantastic, off the charts realism, and it would be a true replica. Russian markings could have been cast in the mold or added with white paint (less desirable than molded markings). Such attention to these details: molded, reproduced Russian markings on the receiver and bolt, and maybe the stock would have made this a must buy rifle by most collectors of real Mosins or replica collectors.

Another odd attribute is that the cleaning rod is not functional. The company goes to such efforts to produce a fantastic replica with a correct working bayonet and a correct sling, yet does not bother to produce a functional cleaning rod that pulls out. Kind of dumb. Reviewers indicate the molded plastic stock is OK. But the serial number, nor stock cartouches are replicated on the stock. It would be nice if the company indicated if an actual M44 wood stock can be re inletted and refitted onto the replica. I have not seen any reviews that indicate if this is possible with the Gletcher replica. Consequently it's a great BB gun, but not a must buy accurate replica. With some correct markings this would have been a TRUE replica to stack next to my real Mosins. $300 would have been a deal. I wonder how many avoided buying one due to this lack of detail. No sale here. Maybe a redesigned, single shot, pellet version will add/replicate some Russian markings and sell like crazy.

I like the authenticity of the rifle. Down to the sling. The rifle functions flawlessly.

The sights are off a bit to the left. If one holds the front blade so it just touches the right side of the rear notch the rifle is dead on. It seems to shoot the advertised 427 FPS. It hits real hard! I use the Excite Copper coated BBS.

The slightly off set sights is the reason I give it a four star rating.

It's a handsome brute, no doubt about it. I owned an MN44 and am still kicking myself for selling it (yeah, it was a bona fide 1944 production year, too). But as others have pointed out, you only get to shoot the real thing at the range or if you have property. This version I can plink away with in the garage or yard to my heart's content. Love the bolt and sturdy construction. Simple to operate, too. Pretty quiet as well. Part of me wants to keep it pristine as a collectible, and part of me wants to shoot it. Non-shooters who have seen it drop their jaws and say, "That's a BB gun?!!" So there's entertainment value in that as well.

Sights are authentic, meaning made for teen-aged Russian eyes, not American baby-boomers in bifocals. Easy to lose the front sight on anything but a white background. And it's a BB gun, so don't expect cloverleaf groups with it. If pop-can accuracy is OK, you'll be fine. The price is a bit steep, but the construction really seems worthwhile. Like others said, the polymer stock looks pretty flippin' good for plastic, but a wooden stock and a little extra oomphff would be great. 'Course imagine the price then. Now a pellet version with rifled barrel, wooden stock and period-accurate scope...Yeah, boy.

Seems like a fine addition to a collection, especially if you're a history buff. Good stablemate for an MP40; it's Stalingrad all over again, baby. And it will be fun to haul out with friends to knock over cans. If this is going to be your main (only) airgun, for that much money invest in something else that offers more accuracy and zing.

Without a doubt the best airrifle i have ever bought heft all steel construction side.by side with my mosin nagant identical a true collectors classic

Nothing

Get it while you can

I was glad to see this Gletcher Mosin Nagant M1944 BB rifle come back. I had passed on it when it first came out. After shooting the Mosin Nagant M1894, I just knew I had to have one of these M1944 rifles. The quality of this replica is superb. Although the stock is not wood, it looks so much like wood. The plastic polymer used for the stock is very dense and durable. In fact this rifle is quite heavy. The bolt action operates very easily and smoothly. The rear sight is adjustable for elevation, but not windage. Nevertheless, shooting at 10 meters distance to target, the shots impact almost at point of aim. Using a 6 o'clock aim point on a 2" shot spot put most of my shots on the outer left ring of the shot spot. My best 10 shot group at 10 meters from a bench rested position was 0.625" with Umarex steel BBs.

Nothing

I tested this rifle with several brands of BBs. These are the additional BBs and 10 shot group sizes at 10 meters from a bench rest: Hornady Black Diamond, 0.938"; Daisy Premium, 0.969"; Daisy Avanti, 1.031"; Smart Shot, 1.531"; Marksman Premium, 1.188"; and Crosman Copperhead, 2.375". Total shot count per CO2 is between 70 and 80 shots.

Words can't express on how amazing this mosin is. The polymer body is no issue to me at all because it's the most amazing/most durable polymer body that I've ever purchased! For all the people saying "I can get a real one for the same price" are missing out. There is only 200 made and this air rifle is a ONE OF A KIND and Mosins are increasing in value as the years go by...so this replica will also go up in value! I love how it's based off the M44 carbine version because there made a LOT shorter and it's more easy to maneuver around with and also comes with a real bayonet!! Pyramid air had this delivered to my house in ONLY 3 days after purchase and you can't beat that!! Once you purchase this gun and it gets delivered and you hold it for the first time....you will not want to put it down it such a great replica air gun. I could keep going on writing about how amazing this rifle is but I'll stop it there! I defiantly recommend buying this rifle and specifically from PyramidAir.com!

Absolutey nothing....this Mosin air rifle is beyond perfect.

Im 21 years old and im only 5"6 and weigh 130 so after awhile it gets hard to shoulder Fire because of the heft to it(which is nothing wrong with that!) but if your around my body type and you want to do a reenactment or just mess around with because it's hard to not put it down...a few tips I've done to make it lighter when im just messing around with it holding it is....I removed the bayonet and the CO2 mag. You would be VERY SURPRISED how much lighter the gun would be so you won't have trouble carrying it around a lot when not actually using it to fire. Don't get me wrong. Whenever I use this gun for display(which is mostly why I bought it because I collect WW2 guns, I screw the bayonet back on and keep it attached which is a VERY easy task to take on and off. Hope this helps!

Words can't even express how AMAZING and realistic this air rifle is. Even though it's a polymer stock...your mind will never convince you that it's actually plastic. EVERYTIME you pick up that Mosin air rifle....it feels like your holding the real deal. Out of all my airsoft and 177. Cal air rifles, this will be my FAVORITE rifle I have EVER purchased. I can not express enough how AMAZING the quality of this gun is. Even when im not using it to shoot outside.....I literally just want to hold it while im just sitting in my house watching TV or something(unloaded of course). Also ordered the rife on a Monday and received the rifle early on Thursday morning, YOU CANT BEAT THAT!!! You can also buy 1 pack of "40" CROSSMAN CO2 cartridges at Walmart for only 17 bucks.....so how can anyone pass this beautiful/amazing Mosin magant air rifle up?! Thank you PyramidAir.com for the best quality rifle I have ever bought from online! Will defiantly be keeping up with your Email's for future releases!!

Most people would rather have a wood stock, but it would be no difference anyways. The gun is still the correct weight and has the most strongest/beautiful polymer stock I've ever seen. Plus on the bright side, since it's a polymer stock, the rain won't her it as bad if your shooting while it's sprinkingling.....wood over time will dull the color

Every air gunner that sees this and is a big World War 2 fan and of course love the Mosin....you have to purchase this while you can. There's only 200 left and it's worth the buy.

Looks and feels very real. The bayonet is fun to charge and to put back into place. The bolt works smooth and real. Not loud at all to shoot.

It should be a little more powerful for the price.

Comes with a sling that works. If you are getting this gun to collect because it looks and feel real, you can't go wrong. Priced in the high range. Not much power for a rifle.

Size, weight and feel are soooooo close to the real thing. Why they made a plastic stock instead of adapting or making a wooden one is beyond me, given how spectacular the rest of it is...but at least the plastic wood looks pretty darn nice. Better than my wood-ish Crossman BB M1 carbine replica.

Melt the plastic stock down and make soda bottles out of it that could be melted down and made into a comfy fleece anorak. And then get Putin go down in to the wood shop in the Kremlin's basement and make me a nice wooden stock.

I just bought the last one in-stock (sorry, folks). They say more are coming, but every other site I have seen says they are out of stock, and with a claimed limit of 200 pieces, things don't look good for the rest of you guys.

Extremely well made realistic replica. The stock is sturdy, some kind of plastic but hard as wood. No hollow sound. Metal butt plate. I hope the finish holds up over time because it's really nice. Bolt action nice and smooth. Just raising the bolt handle upward to vertical cocks it, no real need to pull it back. Pull the cocked bolt rearward, & turn it counter clockwise to put it on safe (covers the red dot). You can also de-cock it by holding the bolt back and pulling the trigger and slowly let it slide forward. Packaged fairly well. Accurate as can be for a bb rifle. I added a tan fabric lace up cheek riser pad to the stock and it has a Velcro storage space on it for an extra mag ...still in the box !

Add an instruction booklet, had none, looks like the bolt should be open during a mag change. While attempting to clean the barrel with the mag removed I accidently pushed the real inner barrel out and into the mag space. It is recessed quite a bit into the outer barrel. I removed the upper hand guard and easily reinstalled it. Apparently only rubber seals hold it in. Keep that in mind and don't lose the seals. Needs better barrel securing.

Bayonet is removable, not the mount point. It says 'Not Scope-able' ... However the picture above with the scout scope is mine. Tried a real Mosin scope mount but it would not fit well without damage and weakening the rear sight. I lightly tapped out the two lower rear sight mount pins ( Tap out R to L ) and found a 'Short' dovetail mount, however it is NOT a standard size, too wide for any slip on mounts and not long enough for two thin scope mounts to fit on each side of scope knobs. I used a single, wide 'Accushot' mount and it fits if you turn their securing rail upside down and use the longer blade to widen out the mounting space. It will offset the scope slightly, right or left depending on which side you put the screws on. With no real recoil it should hold just fine. One piece Weaver riser / adaptors or mounts will not fit without modification for length or cutting off some of the upper hand guard. U tube videos out there. Tom Gaylord is doing a blog on this.

Amazing realism. heavy weight. Love the bolt action. I have the real deal in M44and this bb rifle copy is very well done. I showed it to my local gun dealer and he could not believe it. We had both the real one and the bb copy next to each other. Very well done. The stock is synthetic but nicely done. The bayonet works and is very solid in feel. It most certainly could do some damage. You can buy extra magazines for the rifle on the site, which I will do. I shot out a small bulls eye at 30 feet and had one inch groups. The iron sights are realistic and they do work. The sling is a copy and while its well made the buckle was attached wrong. I had another one on hand and using the two slings I was able to make one good sling. I might buy a real McCoy sling and replace the repo one. The site says that the company made 200 of these rifles. I do wish they had numbered them. Also They should have engraved the Russian Crest and the date 1944 on the receiver like they have on the real deal

Number the rifles if they did make 200 of them. Also as I said they should have engraved the Russian Crest and the date 1944 on the receiver/chamber like they have on the real deal. Plus make sure whatever slings they add with the rifle, make sure it actually works and is a correctly put together repo.

So far I have only shot about 60 plus shots with the rifle and I still had plenty of CO2 left in the capsule.

REALISM, Mostly Metal, Works like my firearm,comes with sling plastic stock looks like wood. Over all well done and I am happy with it. I also have the sawed off version.Quality is excellent.

More power" For a gun this size it only has a velocity of 450+ fps makes it a close range shooter at best. Offer a pellet higher power version.

Extra mags are about $40.00

I have been waiting for this rifle for most of 2015. It is the real deal and a great follow up to the sawed-off version which wasn't appealing at all. Yes, it is spendy but, the quality and authenticity are excellent. Like most new guns, I cleaned and lubed it including some some swabbing of the barrel. I also tightened all the screws, not a lot, just a quarter turn and a half turn on the bayonet swivel (loose). I also added a small o-ring to the bayonet to eliminate the rattle which, is authentic but bothersome. The action is excellent and the self contained valve/magazine worked flawlessly. I did not find any windage adjustment on the sights but...the elevation ramp works perfectly. At 10 meters, I put all the shots in 1" or less with Daisy BBs which it prefers over the Hornady black BBs. If you love authentic repros, get one!

Nothing so far except, real wood stock would have been good but, the syn stock is well done and will probably last better.

Big bucks but you only live once.
