WOW! You guys have really inspired me. I have a ww2 Russian 91/30 in a laminated stock. It looked like it have been back to the arsenal multiple times when I bought-nothing matched; but since I wanted a cheap shooter I didn't care. THEN I started stripping it and cleaning away the years of grease and it started looking nice.
Shooting it with surplus ammo turned out to be a pleasant surprise too. I wanted to add a scope but NOT make a "sniper clone"; still I wanted something which looked "European" but not spend a fortune. So I decided to use a PU scope/mount and to keep it from being the "clone", Im having a Butterknife bolt handle made. My thought was that it would give it that 1950-60s era custom build look.
I THOUGHT I was finished with Mosin Nagants; but now that Ive read this thread, I think Im hooked. The picture on pg11 of the Full Stocked sporter has me drooling. Im headed out in the morning for a suitable donor rifle.
The Mosin Nagant has always been a most reliable military rifle.Anyone who has shot a Finnish barreled Mosin or studied the history of Russian sniper varients well knows how accurate this rifle system can be.In Olympic and International shooting competition Mosin actioned rifles hold more medals than any other.As you can see from this thread that the Mosin can also be made into a beautiful personal sporting rifle which can be built to any taste. Good luck on your quest . We are here to help.
