I want to support your channel, how can we give money? You say you don't actively run a patreon, can we donate monthly to it?

Got an M39 great video great shooting

Guys like you are such a great encouragement to us! I'd like to finish patreon or a donation channel by the end of this season. It would help with ammunition consumption as we do end up expending a decent amount of ammunition on the familiarization process. Thank you again!

finna spell finland

Simo Häyhä already knows it and has decided whether you should live or die.

@@PalleRasmussen simo has decided to be merciful today.

@@LOGIBEAR01 the farthes ive shoot and hit steel with my sks was 750 with a number 2 condition barrel

Stole my idea

Simo Häyhä doesn't care about the M39.

I know. Eyesight is so important for rifles, and some people just don’t have it. I got an astigmatism so I know about that all to well. I got problems seeing signs while driving, let alone seeing a small target at 1100 yards

He's good, and shows how good the gun is too.

I think its a mix of training and genetics. I remember taking the time going to the range and initially I couldn't make out much but as time went on id slowly pick up details. regardless its still very impressive on this guys part.

Thats standing target in good weather on grass, its not that hard to see or sight rifle if target is standing still and you know where it is. Obviously not hard if you are very good experienced shooter.

yeah, I can´t even see traffic sign letters that are 50 meter away. Thats a beautiful rifle though.

And in 1 meter of snow...

Naked

I don't think I ever killed someone that far lol

Highly unlikely Simo ever did a shot out to 1km. While a sniper shot like that wasn't necessarily unheard of at the time, the majority of a World War-era sniper's work would be within the 300-500m distance. Of course, we can't say for certain that he didn't pull a 1km shot. With Simo Hayha's prowess coupled with a solid rifle system, he could be able to do it. But likely not in the middle of Russian mortar and sniper fire while bundled in the snow.

One German sniper (forgot his name) killed an enemy 1000m far

True, but I just want to point out that bolshevism was never a legitimate regime in Russia, communists got in power by committing a coup d'etat, when they killed Tzar Nicholas and his family, and ensued to commit mass murder of Russians and kill the royal family and imperial Russia supporters. I don't think it's right to call communists Russians, many Russians had to flee to the colonies in order to survive, because they didn't support the bolshevik regime and we're being persecuted. Even because a lot of Russians in the red army didn't even have a choice and were simply used as meat to be sacrificed. When bolshevisks perpetrated the coup, people supported them because they were being deceived by their lies, claiming the Imperial Russia government was starving them (when actually it was the harsh weather that caused deficit of food in that time). But not all Russians supported the reds, and Russians themselves were victim's of bolshevism, they were starved, used in slave labor, and murdered by the red army, just like other European populations Russians now are utterly brainwashed into thinking the soviet "union" was the Glory era of Russia. When in reality it's no different than what's going on in China now, the population being indoctrinated by the red regime into thinking the whole world hates them and that only the CCP protects them. But even back in ww2 there were many Russians that fought against bolsheviks, many Russians joined German efforts in the Eastern front to liberate Russia from bolsheviks, there were wehrmacht units made up of Russians, Polish, Ukrainians, all fighting against bolshevism and Trotsky's red army. All this allied propaganda that claims Germans murdered Russians indiscriminately is a complete lie to defame European nationalism. There are historical proofs photos and videos, that show the populations in eastern Europe welcoming German troops, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Ukraine, Poland, because they were freeing them from the red army, German soldiers even helped to rebuild villages and plant food that were destroyed by bolsheviks. But obviously that will never make it to history channel or other media outlets that promote the fake allied/jewish propaganda

@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess thank you for that. I had a feeling that was true

@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess , the what?

@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess Just like in China. The “government” is nothing but a group of criminals and traitors who just managed a coup while everyone was distracted and cut off from information.

@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess Our General Patton said we were fighting against the wrong side. Were it not for what the Nazis did to the Jews, I'd be in firm agreement with him.

When you don't realize that Finnish communists existed. 👀

@@dan8085 The Finnish civil war fixed that nicely.

@@ericmckinley5777 Didn't fix nothing, you class traitor. Communism will win.

@@dan8085 Good luck with blue collar workers hating you.

@@dan8085 yeah, but during the winter war, the finnish communists were not too hot on getting invaded by russia

Näen o

And , in addition, they fall down dead.

I read that he didnt like the scope because the reflection of the glass almost got him killed one day .

@@odderotter8950 simo never used a scope so i would guess thats incorrect information

@@odderotter8950 No, what happened is that he saw a Russian snipers scope glint at some point and was able to engage that sniper when they were trying to counter snipe him.

@@luvirini yep, he got several russians due to their scope glints. also claimed the russians were slower due to their scopes, trying to find simo through their little tubes, while simo had the whole field in sight at all times

Simo was a country boy shooting for food. It would make sense that he would find a scope foreign and unnecessary. Being that the Finnish army would of had a very high ratio of troops with hunting/outdoor skills. The word would've passed around the Soviet troops that they were fighting ghosts in the forest.

Me too freaked me up

Now we need merch with that slogan 🤣🤣🤣

Almost fell out of my chair... lol

yep I lost it too, think i snorted my soda a lil

YOU WAN PESSSSSI COLA OR MOUN-TAN DEW!?!?!??

Grandmother was Finnish, tuff as granite and wasnt someone to piss off. love to visit your fine country

Love those old war horses, especially with the modern day .30 caliber bullets and their high BCs.

I own a Finnish mosin, its a tack driver and will hammer targets at hundreds of yards easy.

I LOVE their stocks. Arctic birch with that black pine tar finish look so sexy.

Though, from hand-picked parts including some new old stock receivers with flawless locking surfaces, and they were highly modified, with only the bolt head, magazine front screw and ejector w/spring being entirely original (although Sako and VKT/Valmet made new bolt heads, so they might not be original).

I ❤IT ! Thanks .. Best regards

@@user-hn2gy4ug9x Continuation war

@@user-hn2gy4ug9x Really? Last I checked they humiliated you and the US collapsed your Empire lol! Your Ruble is worthless. Funny every country left your Warsaw pact and you did....Nothing lol

God bless from 🇺🇸

@@user-hn2gy4ug9x Cry me a river commie.

You guys like the t3?

The T3 will serve you well. It's a great rifle, very smooth and accurate. At 100 m it can put 5 rounds in the 10 circle... of a 10m carbine target. Amazing what the standards of accuracy are these days.

Is your M39 a Tikka?

@Sean Price Sako made the most M39s but Tikka and Valmet also produced thousands of them.

@@readytodie7355 dont be a grammar nazi

@@zaganim3813 I think it's ok to fix the name of a song.

@Mr. Morningstar Yep, M39 is shooter's candy. I bought a never fielded, 1970 production M39 with no maker's mark. That thing is sweet as bear meat, I'll tell you what.

you traded a 03 Springfield for a mosin lol ? ok I'd make that same trade on a daily basis only I ll take the 03.

dont care about where it's made. I'd still take the 03 . if you dont agree I dont care about that either. the last 03 I looked at they wanted almost 2 grand for it there getting hard to find.

@@justinriley8651 they're *

@Mr. Morningstar didn't say there was . all that info is easy to get.

He did not use M39...if not mistaken he was using M28

George Karadov: Yes it was M28 but it is same gun with different stock. M39 has ”half pistol grip”. M28 has traditional Russian style stock. But M28 has Sako rear sight and ”pystykorva” front sight. M39 uses same sights.

@@juhomaki-petaja there is also the fact that M28 is National Guard and M39 is the army. The only M39 that are national guard are the SKY ones and the made only 10-11K of those

@@georgekaradov1274 SKY=SAKO Yes. M28 standard russian Mosin but modernized by National Guard(Front&rear sight). Finnish Defence force took National Guards sights to M39 and also developed semi-pistol grip too.

@@juhomaki-petaja I got one of the SKY ones... :):)

Some post-war M44 are incredible smooth and accurate weapons, you can find comparisons with Mauser and K31 in RU-vid

@@albertoamoruso7711 I have shot both...K31 always nice...some M44 are ruff...all can make a fireball ...Polish M44 are nice. My M39 looks beat...but it delivers....

@@cheesenoodles8316 Sovirt WW2 production often results in ruff guns. Post-war era weapons are a better example of the design quality. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OZysz0X-lq4.html

@@albertoamoruso7711 I do have a 1945 M44 Russian and it is a nice one. Not a post war refurb. Has some wear from handling. My friends think its a beast.

@@cheesenoodles8316 I've seen many WW2, rusted, counter-bored Mosins shoot decent 2'' groups @100 yards, and many others in better conditions literally missing the target. The rule of Soviet firearms in wartime is that there is no rule.

I would love for them to do that! I wish I had one to lend them

YEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

@Joshua Bressel You know what to do

@Joshua Bressel You got to hold Gunny Hathcock's rifle.....amazing, Brother....Sniper Class 06-02 (2002).

@Joshua Bressel Damn, you're lucky. I wish could've met him before he passed. Gone too soon

Well, Mandarin or Cantonese actually. There is no language called Chinese.

@@The99lubie I wasn't sure if Henry speaks Mandarin or Cantonese so I got lazy

vncube1 he probably speaks some offshoot mountain dialect not even the mandarins nor the cantons can understand so we both could be wrong😂

I speak both Mandarin and Cantonese, but would not mind sharing a bibimbap with a "home-slice" in arms on a rooftop.

九孔~~~

So did you buy when after you posted this comment? If you waited very long you probably missed the boat.

For real. I have embarrassed some VERY expensive rifles with my M39 and some cheap light ball ammo.

Most accurate? Probably. Best? The Mosin action kind of precludes it from such a distinction.

@warwick robertson none of that applies to the action.

@Sean Price I have, and it’s about as good as a decent 91/30. The action was the weakest part of the original Mosin and the Finns didn’t change that (understandably so)

snarf I’ve been hearing some stories from Staff SGT K that his grandfather told him. Legendary soldiers indeed!

@@9HoleReviews Indeed. There are a lot of great stories. A close relative of mine was one of the last finns to leave viipuri. He was commanding a troop of cars, whoose mission was to evacuate civillians. They were in the town so late, that his truck almost got ambushed by the russians. One of the trucks under his command was lost in that ambush. He made it out tho and only died last spring, a month before turning 100. I might go out and see if i can find the article on him, tough its likely in Finnish. (Edit: details, i found the article and refreshed my memory:D)

Oh God yes. Lol

What round do you use 53r or 54r?

@@ayarzeev8237 54r is a little faster and stronger

maxximus2012 I have a pre Soviet Finn m91. With a 1917 tang date and a 1943 Tikka barrel. It’s scary accurate

Also please try one of the RK variants (like 62, 95, m92s, or something in between)!

@Murat GadjievYes, but Finland was such a different environment for the Russian, while they won, they lost a lot of good soldier cause of the terrain.

@Murat Gadjiev BUT it seem Finland road had a 50% chance of being a lake, cause a lot of Soviet Cargo fell into those lake. Finland on the other hand don't have such issue, since they ski across the land

@Murat Gadjiev to be frank, soviets had little experience of fighting in such conditions before the winter war even if they (partly) lived in similar conditions.

and then after three and a half months past Finland accepts the defeat as they can't sustain losses no more, lol. It was a typical WWi-esque meatgrinder for both sides, it isn't something over the top by that time's standards, apart from magical finnish snipers propaganda.

​@Murat Gadjiev first of all, major population centers of Russia is located in less harsh enviroment, and the wars were usually fought over more populated and economically important areas, such as Baltics, for example (which has quite a mild climate). Leningrad/Saint-Petersburg is a place of compartable conditions, but there were no major wars in it's areas since the Great Northen War of 18th century (which was halted for the winter period like any wars of the era). Actually, russians took a great deal of experince during the Winter War in the winter logistics and operations planning which later helped them stop germans in 1941 near Moscow and conduct the first large offensive operation against the germans. And yes, it wasn't only the snow, but rather dense woodland/rocky hills/swampy terrain covered with the snow. Even today land north of Saint-Petersburg to the modern finnish border isn't much of a difference to the siberian forests (I'm basically live here and I was in Siberia once or twice). Finns were mostly sitting on prepared positions and russians attacked, so the attacker initially took most of the casualties due to limited recon capabilities and natural obstacles. And then finns surrendered.

You have to headshot him then

Thanks for this . My VKT M39 is incredibly accurate with off the shelf privi 182gr . I have just started doing my own loading .

I sure hope you started looking immediately after your birthday!!! These things are going for obscene prices now that the supply has dried up. And why the heck do you have to wait until you’re 21 to buy one?

@@hansgruber9685 I didn’t have that good of a job back then so I couldn’t really spend money on anything. Sadly I still don’t have that finish mosin today

Yes sir indeed

People say the Swedish Mauser’s and K31s are the most accurate, but I’ve seen Finnish mosins beat both of them with high quality ammo.

And send said middle finger up 500 vodka loving asses. And when Simo was asked what he felt when he killed someone with his rifle, he simply answered: *"Recoil"*

Plus he used only Iron Sights.

Soviets sent their troops to finland wearing summer uniforms. They were very visible wearing those green uniforms when everything around was white...

Henri Hämäläinen Not one of their brightest ideas I have to say.

@@henrihamalainen300 That actually to me is hilarity seeing as how Germany made same mistake against them. It's quite ironic.. Basics of upkeeping an army is making sure your soldiers are properly clothed. Both Russia and Germany epically failed at this in their invasions. You'd think Russia of all the countries though would understand this basic principle better than anyone seeing as how they live in such treacherous tundra's and train in them in the Russian north.

Yeah whenever I watch these videos with iron sights and I’m like “man not everyone is nearsighted? Weird”
