I asked a Russian native how to pronounce Mosin-Nagant and she answered very much like you have typed. I think you have nailed it!I've always said Mo-zin Nuh-Ghan. I have heard from Rusky sources that the 't' on the end is silent.
I once knew a guy that pronounced it 'Mah-zee Guh-not.'![]()

It's a bolt-action, internal magazine-fed, military rifle invented under the government commission by Russian and Belgian inventors, and used by the armed forces of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and various other nations, ya'll.a friend of mine pronounces it MO...sin NA....gent ( with g like in george) accent on the first syllables
