Walking Dead mosin Nagant 91/30 ?

Nobody cares how you feel about the show. That scene with the M44 was great for milsurp collectors who noticed it and cool producers put it in as part of the show.

That part was great, but that doesn't make the show great. They've jumped the shark now too many times to count. I do want to see this episode, though.

This one has a GIF.

They had a few close up scenes where you can see it's a T53.

Edit:

damn, beat me to it.

I got on here right now SPECIFICALLY to see if anyone else had noticed this

My wife was watching TWD next to me when I chimed up, "That's a Mosin!" She just looked at me and rolled her eyes. Good thing he didn't shoot it, it would have attracted zombies for miles around.

I have to say, if you find yourself out of ammo is there a gun you would prefer over the mosin?

Now couple that with how stingy you are going to be with your ammo in a zombie apocalypse. I have one, wouldn't be my first choice but it would be in the top twenty.

I knew it was a t53 not by the markings but how easily the bayonet swung out. The m44 requires you to lift the catch twice to deploy it. The t53 is ramped so after the first lift you can just swing it right out to lock open.

I play with my bayonets a lot.

Post-war M44's are ramped like that also. My 1943 is the single claw design, my 1946 is the double claw.

Bayonets will make a comeback in the zombie apocalypse for sure.

Just watched the episode, and figured this thread how to exist! :-) I always wondered what that Bayonet Bayonet was for. :-)

I love the show and the fact they used a M44 is just way cool. I have a Romy M44 that is dead on accurate but honestly not my first choice. Said ammo during this time would be hard to acquire. Second every one and there brother (including military and police) has a 223/5.56. This ammo would be readily available and would be certainly almost anywhere. As for bayonet just add one, duck-tape, bayonet lug, ect...Just my 2 cents. Still love the fact of them showing a M44.
