Re: The best Mosin sporting rifle project in world history
|
Havenīt decided yet but my next Mosin project might be a .375x52R. There are still plenty of old .375 barrels around that Valmet made for the 412S double rifle. They were intended for the USA market as 375 Winchester, but since Valmet got in financial trouble, the plans never came true. Jyri Jalonen, a well known gunsmith in Finland, has made some Valmet 412Sīs in this caliber. At least he would have a reamer for it. It only seems natural to make a Mosin in this caliber as well as any based on the 7,62x54R.
The .405 Grenadier would otherwise be a good prospect, but bullets for the .405 (10,45mm) are hard to come by in Finland.
