I could never dump $1200 in a mosin. Heck you can go get a Czech target mosin for $500.
In the '50s when Sam Cummings was bringing in piles of Mausers people said exactly this about Mausers.
Some of the finest target rifles in the world are built on Mosin-Nagant actions.
And a lot of high dollar rare Mausers where butchered by Sam Cummings and others.
No Sam didn't do that. That was left up to gunsmiths and dealers like Golden State.
People always want to muck around with the guns and make them "special". It's like a dog peeing on a tree and making it his. The dog does not make the tree any better, he is just marking his territory. Same way with gun owners and guns. Little of what they do helps but it marks it as theirs.
Song remains the same.
