The site was finally removed after the top name for the flavor was "Hitler Did Nothing Wrong." The "Dub the Dew" marketing campaign was quickly derailed and shut down after users of 4Chan - the infamous online forum - took over, submitting votes for names like, "Diabeetus," "Moist Nugget" and "Fapple," reports NineMSN. The restaurant took to social media, asking the public to name a flavor. You know, the time McDonald's asked people to share their "McDonald's experience" on Twitter, and resulted in a slew of gross stories involving the burger chain. There's no overriding reason to hate Mosins but they're absolutely not "super guns.Clearly Villa Fresh Italian Kitchen learned nothing from the McDonald's social media debacle earlier this year. I know plenty of people who use them for hunting with no issue. If you keep in mind it really wasn't meant to reach out more than about 300 yards and it was never intended to be a tack driver, they can be neat little rifles that pack a pretty decent wham for not a lot of money. Yeah the sights go up to something like 1,000 yards but a Geo Metro's speedometer goes up past 100 mph, we all set unrealistic goals for ourselves. They had a role closer to a modern infantry rifle because that's what they were. They weren't for those long-ish range shots. They weren't designed to be used the same way as modern bolt actions. I love that loud, gritty, mechanical CHUNKCHUNK of the bolt, I love that unmistakable profile, I like the 54r cartridge.but to be realistic even a bargain bolt action made in the last 50 years can probably out-shoot even a top-shelf Mosin. They also have a pretty long and storied history, making them interesting for people interested in combloc militaria.Īs far as performance, anybody who is telling you they're the best bolt action out there has either never fired another bolt action or is flat out lying. Mosins were popular because they were cheap and cheap ammunition was readily availible. In my opinion, they are not equal to Mausers in terms of quality or performance, but then again, the Mauser has never won a World War, has it? You used to be able to get a Mosin for <$100. TL, DR: Mosins are popular because they were cheap and had readily available ammo. They were often built by hand and had much higher inspection criteria (especially German). Mausers on the other hand, haven't been refurbished very much (unless it's a RC). ![]() This probably effects how the weapon performs. Another aspect is that most Mosins have been re-arsenaled/refurbished many times over the weapon's life. There's more room for dried cosmoline to be hanging out. This occurs since the Mosin bolt body is multiple pieces as opposed to the Mauser's single piece bolt body. Sticky bolt often occurs when people fail to clean their bolts of cosmoline properly. However, having shot both, the Mauser, specifically the 1898 model, is a superior system, both in terms of mechanics and safety. There's also a ton of ammo manufacturers for 54r (PPU, S&B, various bears) while only PPU really manufactures 8x57 Mauser (and not even true 8x57 JS for the American market). Mosins have always been the "cheap" milsurp gun with very readily available surplus ammo. I think the popularity has to due with availability and pricing.
