I wanted this one so on it went. Additionally, I like the idea of a scout scope and I really enjoy the look of a scout rifle. Many would scoff at sinking over a $1000 into a Mosin however consider that I can shoot this thing all day for just $0.20 a round. Availability of entire crates of Mosins is apparently drying up. Then, when you get to the release weight, the break is precise and clean and perfect. At least in my eyes, that’s exactly what I did (despite comments implying that this is Mosin hatred, I did it because I like the thing). Thanks! In fact, I got the very spiffy Accu-Washer muzzle device alignment system but ended up not using it due to the lack of a sufficient shoulder with the narrow barrel and my gunsmith’s ability to thread it so the brake was properly clocked without shimming. What brake size did you use? hey bontai, if its a flaming bomb i will trade you my 91/30 round reciever with the black version of this stock already on it!!!!!!!!!! Installation was drop-in. The spring rate and design decreases lock time and increase primer strike ability and was specifically designed to work with Timney or modified/lightened triggers. The funny thing, despite all the [expected] criticism, is that I did this precisely because I like and respect the Mosin Nagant. Now there are desert tan and O.D.

True enough the Finnish rifles are more accurate, but when you update one you have made it more accurate besides the Finnish rifle is just an update done along time ago. There’s a storage compartment in the grip, too. By no means do you have to do the same haha. To me it has the charm of iron sights with the ease of use of a red dot, and that’s kind of neat. (It’s been lightly wiped, but I’m not even cleaning out the cosmoline). I recognize that the Mosin Nagant family of rifles has history, but certainly not everything that’s old is “historical.” I do not feel like my sub-par (even when it was freshly arsenal-refinished and in the cosmoline) example of an incredibly common rifle that had one foot in the grave from rust offered anything to the history of the Mosin Nagant by remaining in non-numbers-matching rebuilt “original” condition or degrading further. The recoil wasn’t as bad as I was expecting.. Or cut down the factory wood one to remove some of the excess forend length and then drill out the inside areas of that to lighten it up. Sehr guter Liefer service .Supper. It’s ridiculously fun to shoot. I think maybe I’d have put a scope on there in lieu of the green monster but its pretty unique. Worn out barrel but receiver still in good condition? Maybe there are a few more occasions where you could take an old warn out battle rifle and give it new life but once you look at rifle cost, gunsmithing cost (even if you do the work yourself), parts, and time spent on project I really think for the money you could have bought a brand new rifle. That’ll go right at the top of the project build sodomy list. I like the idea of not sending the bolt out to be bent or cutting and mounting a new bolt myself. 11 months ago. Eventually I decided to just do 16″ of barrel and leave the brake removable so muzzle devices could be swapped around later. About $200 under the Ruger. LOL thanks for the suggestion, Mike! I think I’ve accomplished that. Why are people infatuated with spending money on crap to “accessorize” their rifle? on your Mosin Nagant model, you may need to shorten the receiver mounting bolts as some to protrude too much into the receiver and prohibit full bolt movement. it keeps a rusty old workhouse shooting and shows that a 1940’s battle rifle can still be a viable implement in a world of EBR’s. Thanks for sharing your build, email when you can please. We ought to shoot it next to Maurice at some kind of classic gun meet, watch the collector-folk freak out in stereo. How much y’all say for a yellow commie T53? Then remove stock from barrel band forward, maybe the next one will be in worse shape and be sacrifice worthy…, The brake weighs quite a bit less than the bayonet and couple inches of barrel that were removed. Still working ony technique, bit can currently hold a 5″ spread at +500yrds. 300+ rounds, and the zero has YET to shift. The sight uses a green fiber optic block at back with a graphic on its front face.

Don’t get the Finnish one if you plan on doing all the changes. Discussion. And in the meantime, the $69.95 rifles that didn’t get Tapco-fucked are now selling for north of $250. Out shoots any rem700 around. )And it would be incredibly fun to shoot, cheaper, and more unique than a standard rem 700. It’s not particularly enjoyable to target shoot and I’m not lugging that ridiculous thing and its bayonet on a hunting trip. Sure they didn’t have this kind of setup, but they did what they could. I again started with a 1930's 91/30 Tula rifle which many consider to be some of the most accurate surplus Mosins made. The Tacfire Tanker muzzle break seems to be best but I could be wrong. There is a thousand kind of Mosin Nagant with the different design and feature. While I normally recoil in horror from the idea of sporterizing a military rifle. Now ive got a whole listof things to order for both the rem 700 and my mosin. The first step in the build process was cutting down the barrel and threading it for the brake. A trigger like this will certainly decrease your group sizes. I don’t have my Mosin yet, but now I’m strongly tempted to buy a 2nd – keep the nicer one alone and do cool things ala Jeremy with the other one. In either case you simply remove the rear leaf spring sight by driving out just one pin but leave the base punned and soldered to the barrel. With the spring, trigger and shoe upgrade the trigger feel is sublimely amazing. I hate seeing these questions. What we have here is a long gun that isn’t particularly pleasant to shoot in its standard form. It seems my barrel after being cut down is 1/8 thick wall on one side and 3/16 on the other. It’s not like this is a low serial number military issue 1911 here or anything. While swapping out the Rock Solid converted bent bolt handle, I also added in the jointly developed Rock Solid/C&R Surplus stainless steel firing pin spring. You could always buy another one. The best part about the factory stocks is that they almost all leach cosmoline when you shoot enough to get the wood hot. OK, that should be left alone. If you’re worried about velocity in a 16″ Mosin, it’s better than you might think. and cleans extremely well. Don’t they have every right to smash it to pieces if they want?

Im going to turn the mosin into a semi-weight, tactical, mid-range bolt gun while I modify the 700 for long range applications. It was a great weapon in the First World War and, although it defended Mother Russia nobly in WWII as well, technology had already moved on. Hang it on a wall? Closer to your eye, e.g. It doesn’t go inside of the barrel. That’s the route I went for sporterizing a Nagant, I bought a T53 off gunbroker. So let the hating begin….lol, –The weird, sharpshooting hillbilly with 2 teeth and lots ‘o guns, They are still plentiful and cheap. I’ll say this: that is a stupidly overbuilt weapon…. I have yet to do some light polishing work on it or steam clean the barrel lug recesses to make sure there’s no caked-in 70-year-old cosmoline in there. The Ultimate Mosin also received a several trigger upgrades. You have defended your actions. Great looking build imo. I think it’s interesting, it would be fun to shoot and that he has something he wanted. If I had another laying around, game on. I think the Precision Armament M11 “Severe-Duty” Muzzle Brake looks freakin’ sweet, and it definitely cuts down on felt recoil in a big way. I know I’m not alone here – there are maybe 4,000,000 Mosin Nagants in the U.S.. Hard to say how many of the apparently 37,000,000 or so that were produced actually made it to our shores, but it’s fair to say they’re pretty ubiquitous in gun safes, closets, attics and under beds all over the country.

It’s tough and looks good. Fun. Does it protect against corrosive surplus ammo? On my Bubba-gun, I chopped the barrel, removed the rear sight, turned the base down, mounted a Rock Solid scope mount and Rock Solid bolt with a Nikon 3-9×40, and a Firefield bipod. So that would mean my mosin would cost me the same as my Remington 700 7mm Remington magnum, but would cost incredibly less to shoot (anywhere from $1.30-$2.50 a round for the 7mm rem mag to at most $0.50 a round for the mosin.
