Aren't all Mosins nothing more than boat anchors to some people? How does having some "Remington or Savage metal in that stock" make a difference? Not sure I'm following you. Thanks for the reply though.That would be a nice setup if he had some Remington or Savage metal in that stock. As is, it's a decent boat anchor.
I think that's pretty BA. I'm with you Dan. Some people like out of the box, ready to run toys. I like, and can appreciate technical skill in building something.

Thanks, it's a lot of fun to shoot. It's actually mine and the idiot I'm referring to is myself. It's surprisingly accurate, even out to 200 yards with Tula ammo. I try not to shoot the corrosive stuff unless I have to. I'm definitely not shooting corrosive through the can!
What is surprisingly accurate? Is that the factory barrel that you cut and threaded?
Wow. That's pretty quiet!
Your gun, your mods.
I kinda like the idea of updating things. Kinda proves that good ideas/designs have longevity beyond what was expected.
Dan, That is Bad Ax! We need more folks thinking "Outside the Box". Used to run a Keith Black Aluminum GM engine in a Top Alcohol Funny Car, it didn't know it wasn't a Hemi!

What technology do you speak of? Magnified optics? Removable magazine? The suppressor?Thanks. It's funny that I've gotten a few PM's from people saying I ruined the gun and that the only real Mosin is one that's stock not modified. I guarantee that if this technology was available in 1942 it would have been used!
Huh? You call yourself an idiot for building this Bubba-licious gun then get upset when someone knocks it?
Nice set up. A lot of time and money in a gun that's not worth much but very cool set up. Probably a lot of fun to shoot and cheap to shoot also.
Sure you ruined an MN - there's tons of them, so no loss there. And hey, I like to hack electronics; so if you like to hack guns, then more power to ya.
