"Collectors Forum" - All Mosin Nagant are discussed here. Also the Russian and "Finnish capture" SVT38 and SVT40. This is an excellent place for new Mosin owners to ask questions. We have some of the best experts here looking forward to your questions. If you post a Mosin sniper rifle here, we may or may not move it to the sniper forum.

I saw in the news tonight that our Atty General Eric Holder has not ruled out using Drone Attacks on American soil againt Americans .
This made me consider that similar issues faced many who carried a Mosin Nagant into battle.......so, I wondered:
Lets see your faced with a flying object (drone, saucer, Bi-plane etc) and all you have to defend your personal "airspace" is a trusty Mosin Nagant........which one do you go to?
I'm thinking my best shooter is a '41 SAKO, but I do like the lond barrel of my '42 TIKA M91........naw, I'm going with the SAKO. What about you?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
hummmmmmm, the M44 eh?,well that there fireball thing is a solid reason to have that critter.......its gott disrupt the e-lec-tronic fields of them in-far-red ray gun thing them drones have............I don;t have a 'M 44 but I do have a M 38 and it too is some NASTY in the fireball area.....You have raised a great point.......but won;t we get our asses dusted when the heat seeking missels from the GD drone get sent our way? I'm no expert but I'm thinking the average fireball from a M44 or M38 ranks about the same as small atomic device (especially at night )
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

That may work. The blast is a little bigger than an M44. I've fired it offhand too. First time my fiance stood back and watched me shoot it she swore and said 'so that's what an EMP feels like' I shot it once at a LGS that has his shooting bench near his house. First shot rattled the dishes and his wife thought something outside blew up.

Depends upon the size of the drone, could be a 12 gauge shotgun, could be any of my MN 91/30's might even use an RC helicopter dragging a piece of lead weighted fishing line.
If corporations are people, when will we see one executed?

I'd always wanted a .50. No particular reason, except for fun. Theres a loooong shooting area back behind the house. 1200 yds or so, I haven't shot quite that far though. I did shoot on a 500 yard range in an informal match for fun. It drew a crowd.
Mine has a 26 inch barrel, the company actually made a ridiculous 16 inch carbine version.

I'm a computer programmer by profession, and I can tell you; if you're ambitious enough, you could write image-processing code to identify the drones for you, draw/highlight where they are "through the lense" atop an overlay within an operating system. For example:
- High-end wide-lense camera connected to a high-end computer (one of those gaming machines will do)
- Have a properly sighted Mosin, Flak-gun, etc (insert high-accuracy ballistics solution) mounted to (assuming self-built) & anchored well within a swivel platform
- High-end Range finder (or laser-based solution) with output which can connect to computer (to get our distance)
- Gear or hydraulic based pivot-system which is connected to the computer
- (the hardest part) An algorithm which properly calculates: ballistics trajectory in relation to target velocity, and an algorithm that pivots on all axes within our said platform in the proper scale of the calculations
Not to mention this algorithm will be processing images from a wide-lense camera, optimizing something like that would be a nightmare. However, if this could be designed, built, and implemented in under $3k you would have the cheapest anti-air ballistic Artifical Intelligence to date. If you wanted to be all the wiser you could image process with different means than a camera (sensors) to avoid light-pollution like smog or clouds...
This could be used to alert you on drones rather than aligning the shot for you (the latter would be easier for your life assurance, but harder to design and pay for, as well as vice-verca)
Like bocephus said, you're going to have a hell of a time spotting them. Might as well invest in image processing solutions.
