EMG Mosin-Nagant M44 Carbine Co2 Powered Bolt Action Rifle w/ Bayonet by WinGun

"Great gun! Dont know why there are no other reviews if you want a great sniper rifle this is for you doesnt even need a scope to be accurate although bought mine for $230 then the next day the price changed to $199 that kind of made me mad but besides that the gun is great a little tricky to figure out at first but i finaly have it!

Pros:
Accurate
Lightweight
Bolt configuration is extremly easy
Gas is Quick to put in

Cons:
First off this thing is HUGE!!!! (could be a pro)
Its huge but lighhtweight

Bbs are hard to load and wind at first but you get the hang of it

Gas guzzler

Thats it you need to get this thing!

"Ive had my mosin now for a year. It is not the most battle effective rifle but it is a blast to use and will get you many complements on the field. The bayonet makes this rifle super long but it is awesome to have as a melee weapon. The plastic is not the strongest so i would not poke anyone or thing. Now onto the gun...It is pretty accurate and has very good range. It shoots about 440s in the summer and 400s in mild temperatures (low 40s). The reloads are long but whatever. I 3d printed gravity speedloaders for quick reloads, they also fit in soviet mosin pouches which is a plus.

Problem: dont over cycle the bolt. if you cycle it 3 times before shooting (after cocking it) and you point it in a certain direction the bbs will get jammed in the piston and will require to dissasemble to rifle. So just take your time with this gun stay back and you will have fun with it.

I would recommend buying a surplus eastern block gasmask bag (the soviet ones are good) to hold a can of greengas with you as you run on the field. eastern block ones are cheap. I got my soviet one for $1.

"I'm hesitant to say this thing actually has a hop-up at all but it shoots relatively accurate with .25s and .28s. I've tried .40s and they drop as soon as they leave the barrel so I wouldn't recommend anything bigger than .30s. I wouldn't bother using the PU scope with this gun but the iron sights work great. If you want a sniper this is definitely not the gun for you but if you want a fun manual-action gun for mid-range this thing works perfectly fine. It's a heavy gun but it definitely feels sturdy, the bolt is fairly loose and carrying it slug barrel-up may cause the bolt to slide back.

Also the bolt does nothing but pull back the hammer so really all you have to do to ready the gun is twist the bolt up then back down.

"Absolutely love it! I've only had it about a week, so I don't have any long term insights. The build is very robust and the feel is spot on. It's a little different from the none PU model, as the loading device is identical to the Zetalabs instead of the King Arms, but the bolt functions the same as the King Arms in its short bolt design. With .35s I can make a man sized target out to about 150', so it's not exactly a tack driver, my VSR makes it out to about 300'. I doubt I'll replace my VSR with this, but it is fun. I intend to try out some heavier BBs (probably .43-.45) to see if I can coax a bit more accuracy/range out of it. The finish on the wood is VERY easily marked, I'm very tempted to get my hands on a real steel stock to mod the receiver into for a more authentic look/feel. The trades are cool, they correspond with the Izhevsk arsenal and mine is dated 1941. The serial is only stamped on the top of the receiver (round, so you can't pass it off as a pre 1936 model) and nowhere else, as it would be on a real steel model. The safety knob on the bolt is none functional, but honestly? I think I've turned it on once on my real model and just never bothered again (it's heavy and just sucks... if you have a mosin, you know). The biggest down side for me is that it is gas, it just isn't consistent enough in its power to make a decent sniper rifle, it's almost more of a novelty in some aspects and I know I can't use it in a game until the weather warms up (chicago-land).

The magazine on this thing is bonkers, though. You flip over the rifle, open the bottom of the magazine, pour some BBs into the channel and pull a string, pour some more in and pull a string, pour some more in pull the string again, close the bottom of the magazine, work the bolt, fire. The gas system involves a valve in the top of the bolt and lasts about 20 shots on average. Luckily, cool down only takes place if you're shoot AS FAST as you can.

I'd recommend it for anyone who is a Mosin enthusiast or looking to do a Russian sniper impression.

Pros: Feels JUST like my real steel PU sniper rifle
Great weight
Accurate to boot within 100'
feels rugged and tough
SOLID hopup, simple bucking/screw setup. Works great.

cons:
inconsistent due to being gas
unusable in the winter due to being gas
magazine is a nightmare to load in the field (I assume, it's a nightmare to load in my house!!!!)
Get ready to carry a can of gas with you! About 20 shots per charge!
Not nearly long range enough for heavy sniper duty (think 250-300')
Short pull bolt, totally throws me off compared to the real steel
VERY thin finish on stock, might wear into looking cool, though
trades are lacking

"It is indeed a great rifle for WW2 Reenactors or for someone looking for something different or more classic. The real wood feels nice to hold and the weight makes you feel good when you swing your rifle around to take aim.

I dislike the internal magazine but I also understand that Mosins never HAD magazines and this was a simple cutaway for not manufacturing magazines. All parts are also proprietary (sad) but I do have a guy at my field who has a guy who will manufacture parts for him, so lucky me. The short stroke action is also very nice for follow up shots but takes away the glorious feel of racking the full bolt for the motherland.

"The gun is my favorite yet the biggest pain in the butt I have yet had. When it got to me it was in a nice case and came with it's plastic bayonet; though as others have stated you cannot mount the bayonet without removing the orange tip first. I pulled it out and it just felt so good in my hands, I'm a lover of classical firearms. It's very comfortable and natural to hold, unlike my airsoft AK 47s or the M4s I have used. I have owned a real M1891 model Mosin Nagant and it looked very close to the M91/30 model. I was first surprised to realize that it wasn't a plastic stock at all but was in fact a solid wood stock; big plus! Granted the wood that they use on airsoft guns is soft, so it scratches, and dents very easy, but still nicer than plastic. It helps to balance out the weight of the gun better. I had gotten a real Mosin Stock to transfer this into, now I don't have to, at least for now. This is where it goes bad. First the front sight slides side to side freely, this can be a good and bad thing. You can sight it in using the different sight positions and once it is where you want than tape it into place. Or just tape it center like I did. The upper barrel band lock was also odd, sticking way out. Yet it could not be depressed in more or else the barrel band would fall off, bummer. The door for the magazine is a neat idea but it doesn't want to stay closed. You have to keep compressing the metal tabs that hold it in and they only loosen up and just firing the gun can make the door swing open. I have had to hold it down with some electrical tape, not cool. I only wish that they would have found a better system to hold it closed. I went to test it and out of the box the fill valve leaked like crazy. Seeing that it leaked around the threads I placed a little Teflon tape around it and BAM no more leak!

Took it out to target practice and sight it in. Out of the box the range is unbelievable. It looked as if it was out ranging the in stock A&K SVD rifle; another big plus. Yet I was having issues with accuracy using .25 bbs so I upped it to ,30 and it mostly fixed the issue. It was shooting around 50-60 yards before it would curve left using .30 bbs. So, you will have to aim accordingly or use a heavier BB, like a .32, which might help a little. Though even with .30 it had a off target flier now and then. Then the fill valve took a total crap and fell apart, so the in stock valve is crap, got it! I was going to return it for a replacement but also wanted to field it for an upcoming weekend. So, I just ordered a new basic fill valve. Replaced the valve and it fit perfectly. The gun was now in perfect order except every once in a while it would double feed and 2 bbs would fly out.

Then we come to fielding it. It was very accurate, to a point. It has the range but not the ability to mount a scope. So you have to trail the BB with your eyes and see if it goes off course from your target before you cannot see it anymore, then adjust from there. I was still having issues with it double feeding now and then, and also a couple of times with no feeding, which was a real pain. It seems sometimes that the spring doesn't want to push those last rounds in. A few times the bolt locked up on me during the return cycle, which I had to fix by pulling the trigger to release the bolt. Yet it still worked the majority of the time, and was still very accurate. Which frankly is saying a lot for an in stock gun. Everyone on the field seemed to love it, unless I hit them with it. Even without a scope I was still able to suppress the other teams sniper. You just have to get used to adjusting the rear sight elevation bar to aim at longer distances.

Loading it takes some getting used to but it's not that bad. Mostly because with a gun like this you learn to carefully pick your targets instead of just mindlessly firing. Meaning during one 45 minute game, I only reloaded twice. Most times I only reloaded once. Though carrying a can of propane in a bag will take some getting used to. No doubt that a tightbore barrel will help with the curve issue but it will surely beef up the FPS, a good or bad thing depending on what you need. Beyond that there isn't much that needs upgrading on this unlike most sniper rifles. The only main difference is that it will take a lot more practice to get good at without using a scope for those longer distance shots. So, if you want to use this as a sniper then practice, practice, practice, that's what I plan on doing over the winter. The rate of fire is also good as I had no trouble taking down guys with AEG rifles, within AEG range, and firing at me. Because again you're depending on the accuracy, they're depending on the sheer number of rounds that one will hit you. It also takes a different type of play for this gun. If you're the type to run around and get into the thick of it all of the time, blazing away at anything that moves with dozens of rounds, than this probably isn't the gun for you. If you want to play the role of the sniper or a hunter, stalking around, looking for targets, and taking well aimed shots instead of just mindless directional firing, than this might be good for you. I would have given it five stars instead of four but there was too many annoying issues to start with. Though these issues are mostly minor, except for the fill valve, they are still annoying, and bring down the good of the gun. Plus the almost complete lack of spare parts available. Yet with 3D printing or machine shops, if something breaks I will just send it to a place to have a part remade of higher quality materials. With a little practice this will make an effective sniper rifle.

Pros:
Accurate
Real wood
Looks great
Shoots hard
Long range
Easy pull bolt
Easy to use

Cons:
Fill valve leaked, then fell apart
Soft wood
Double feeds
No ability to mount a scope without altering the gun
Magazine door will not stay shut
Sliding front sight

"Bought the rifle almost a year ago and was surprised with the quality, the texture of the fake wood has fooled a few of my friends. It hold steady at around 460fps with a .30g BB (560 with a .20), so you should check with your field before you bring it anywhere. The metal bayonet is nice quality, but should only be used for reenactment purposes since you can injure someone with it. Something I noticed on mine is that the screw on the back of the bolt will come unscrewed every now and then and prevent the gun from releasing any gas, so be sure to tighten it after every match. Overall great gun, especially if you are into WWII reenactments or if you go to Lion Claws events as it's well within their sniper limits. I advise .32 or .36 gram BBs if shooting beyond 150 feet because the .30s start to rise at this point.

Pros:
Power (great for large scale operations such as Lion Claws events)
Range (will go 150+ feet with ease)
Metal bayonet (looks great, sturdy)
Gas efficiency (100+ shots per CO2 cartridge)
Smooth bolt handling
Fake wood quality (almost impossible to tell without reading the website description)
You don't even need to pull the bolt back, just lift and lower

Cons:
Power (exceeds power limits of most fields)
Bolt screw needs to be tightened fairly often
Metal bayonet (can't use it in a game)
Mags are a bit expensive for some people (I just carry speedloaders and extra CO2 on me to offset this, just reload the mags when you are hit and returning to your spawn point or when you hit a quiet point in a game)

Overall 4/5 stars mainly because the bolt screw needs to be tightened after almost every game and occasionally reassembled, otherwise perfect rifle and I would definitely recommend this to more experienced snipers looking to step up their game or just looking for a unique platform to use

"Ordered this gun and after testing it out about 30 shots in the bolt refuses to go back into place. That wasnt all though, the trigger completly stopped working. I sent it back and didnt get a chance to test it out before i played a game with it. I absolutly hated it the first game i played. I was about to just toss it, but decided to give it one more try. I get out there and i completly DEMOLISHED the other team. i used .28 gram and i was picking people off from a very long range. I was amazed with its accuracy. This gun was loved by my team and respected by the other. Sure it has its downside of 12 shots, then refill... However, once you get the hang of it, it is a really nice gun.
