Mosin shooting high left

[johntheplinker]

try shooting with affixed bayonet, even if you miss you can still stab the target at 50 yards, Mosins are sighted with be bayonet affixed, and shooting without it affects barrel harmonics and hurts accuracy. alot of mosin's sights are measured in Arshins (sp) not yards or meters. 1 Arshin (sp) = 28" . They switched to meters at some point, not sure what year but im thinking it was during wartime

Just about the only Mosins you'll find with arshin marked sights are the M91 and the earlier Finns. Even then, most of the Finns with early style sights have been remarked to meters. Everything else, 91-30, M44, M38, M39, i.e. all the more common ones, will be in meters. A good rule of thumb, if the rear sight is flat and overall length is less than 49", then its metric.

I traded my Mosin for a 98K Mauser even up. What a deal.

You want to move the front sight in the OPPOSITE direction that you want the bullet to go.

GOOD POST

Rear Sight goes where you want POA to be.

If that guy has another 98k, I've got a Mosin....

Extending the bayonet fixed that issue for me. It is dead on at 100 yards with bayonet extended but shoots left when not.

try shooting it at 100 yards and notice how your elevation is dead on

I doubt it. It will likely go up to 8" at 100 yards.
