Mo-zin Nuh-gahnt vs. Moy-zin Nuh-gant

[D ReedSniper]

Which way do you pronounce it? Is the second the Russian pronunciation? If so, it seems to be the American way of pronouncing things as they are spelled

Moe-seen Nahgahn. The T is silent in Nagant.

Moe-seen Nahgahn. The T is silent in Nagant.

This is what I've always heard, too. However, you won't find too many of us hillbillies pronouncing it that way.

Thanks! I guess I thought that I heard a T when someone pronounced it.

Can I use "Horna-day" ammo in my Moysin?

Well, the gun may be inexpensive, but the price of ammo adds up over time compared to .22. I can get 20 rounds of Mosin for $6, 20 rounds of 7.62x39 for $7, and 50 rounds of .22 for $3.

Last 1500 I went to they had surplus spam cans, 440 rnds for $85. Works out to about $3.86 for 20 rnds.

I agree the T is silent but I find it easier to call mine a 91/30.

It depends on whether you're a northern redneck or southern hillbilly.

Local gunshop always called them Noisy Maggots. Didn't stop me from buying 3 of them though
