Got a sexy Mosin Nagant yesterday!

HA HA HA...call it Mosin Evolution. Not Revolution

 

[lowendgenerator]

Yeah...Me. Just exercising my Mosin creativity. But can't do just the the stocks. Barrels need to be cut and recrowned, scope mounting holes need to be drilled and tapped and, new bolt handles need to be made.
My whole thought about converting Mosins is ....If you screw up, how much money have you lost? Could always just put on an ATI stock.

It's a piece of history, sure. But there's 17 million more pieces out there for around $100 a piece. Go wild I say. I plan on personalizing one or both of mine as well. I bought them as cheap, accurate rifles, not as collectors pieces.

Are you for hire? I need some scope mount holes tapped, and possbly a bolt turned down.

I can handle a little deburring. Maybe these people that were complaining of poor fit are just whiners who rant when everything isn't perfect out of the box?

I think I'll take the plunge and buy one. Where did you buy yours at? The only place I've seen them is Cheaper Than Dirt.

Both of mine came from Midway USA.

In order to do the bolt handle job, the straight handle would have to be sawed off and a slot milled into the bolt body and 2 drilled and tapped holes for mounting the new bolt handle. I drill and tap the receivers for the ATI scope mount. Then if you are going to use your wood stock ....it has to be inletted for the new bolt handle.
Well that's the way I do it. I would be willing to sell you a Mosin already converted with a ATI stock and a 18" barrel if you are interested.

Yep, you are showing Mosin fever already. Enjoy!

 

[Eric70]

I agree, I just don't understand the synthetic stocks. But its your money and your gun.

 

[handgun]

a smile and a chuckle came from seeing this..

 

[monitor51]

What year is that one?

The word sexy has no place in a discussion with firearms -- if it does, you're a bit disturbed.

Nice rifle. But, I'm leaving my as is and enjoying a the low cost of the rifle and ammo and spending money on other goodies.
