Just as long as you don't use an old collectible Mosin-Nagant as base for your project, I'm all for you building another. You obviously got the talent. How did you get the stock?

I started with a bandsaw blank, but Richards micro fit stocks from Cailforna carry a few styles of Mosin Stocks if your hunting one.
I do have one planned just haven't found the right one to build yet. That and where can I get one of those Ringed bolts I need one of those ..... Regards, RMJ

the Model 8/81's Remington and the FN1900 rifles are my favorite rifles
but like the classic pre-war sporters and doubles also. Make sure and check out
the website you listed I started that back in 2009 because of the lack
of info on them its grown alot since then, lots of great stuff for the
Model 8/81 guy for sure..

do you realy see the FN 1900 in Texas? its a rare rifle also in europe were most of them were sold I suspect. this early semi autos are true classic's!
way of topic but this is more or less my own thread: do you have vintage hunting pics showing the Remington 8 or the Winchester self loading rifles?

Chambering is .50 Alaskan which is .348 Winchester blown out to .50 cal.

It is considerably more powerful than the 50-70 as the case is .350" (9mm) longer. Also, there is no levergun currently available that can handle 50K PSI.

Right side...

An old photo, before the stock was fully shaped, inletted, and finished.

The modified magazine can be seen on the left. The sheetmetal was removed from the sides and straightened, then re-pinned and brazed. I will take some better photos soon.

The receiver was a 1915 Peter the Great arsenal (Tula) M91 with the Czarist eagles scrubbed and a bad barrel. No SA proof from Finnish capture, and missing the handguard and a barrel band. I had no qualms about using it for this project.

The rifle is really too heavy to carry on a hunting trip as the barrel is 1.15" (29mm) at the muzzle and over 32" (812mm) long. It is good for long range 300M-600M hunting with 700gr (45g) hard cast lead bullets...though I also have cast some 975gr (63g) spitzer bullets.

My brother just picked up a mould for a 600gr.FN from Buffalo Arms in the States. It's for his custom Target sighted 11 pound 4 ounce M74 Sharps. It doens't take long to add up to $1,000 for sights. The Sharps is also chambered for the .50 Alaskan. That's quite a ctg. when loaded with modern powders in an action that can handle some pressure. We've been shooting .50 Alaskan's for about 15 years, but mostly with black powder and lead bullets. Both had McGowan barrels, 24" twist - mine was consistant 1-1/2MOA at 100yards and 3/4MOA at 200. Same 1 1/2" groups at both ranges.

I'd expect that 18" twist in a .50 will handle about any weight you'd care to shoot.

Interesting concept rifle.

The 975gr .50 cal bullet above is the one I have been casting...you can also see it next to a piece of brass in the top right of the rifle case photo. I am hoping for over 1400FPS in this rifle.

If there are any left handed Mosin enthusiast, I happened to find an old re-barreled or re-bored Finnish Mosin. It was in the caliber 9,3x53R and in pretty good shape. I have plans for all the other parts but the stock, since I´m right handed myself.

A few pics:

It´s a Finnish army competition stock and not so rare except for it being left handed of course. It has a fancy Finnish name, which I don´t know how to translate, so please Bokmal or Igorrock educate me, if you find an English word for “vapaakiväärin tukki”.

What I´ll do with the rest of the rifle, I don´t know yet, but I ordered a reamer for a wildcat named 9,3mm Short Magnum. This is, in its simplicity, a .350 Remington Magnum (or 6,5mm Rem Mag) that has been fitted with a 9,3mm bullet. The idea is to make a new chamber in this already 9,3mm barrel, to fit this wildcat. Time will tell what becomes of it though…

Cashman, if you find another M28/76 or similar "free rifle" stock for sale in a right hand configuration, I would be interested in purchasing it.

For a reason or another, there is now quite many Mosin army surplus sportting stocks for sale here in finland. Some of them are even walnut. In this picture is stock for model TAK 85. Notice that the whole action is floating (no contact to stock) and so it need a special bushing (picture aattched) round the barrel which attach the whole action to stock.
This kind of rifle is very accurate when properly built.

Igorrock, are the blonde stocks in right hand similar to the left handed one available in Finland??
And if so how much would one cost. I've a hex receiver action and a set of trigger parts trigger and sear/mainspring along with a UK50 heavy 7.62x54 machine gun barrel just sitting around doing nothing. Would make a nice but heavy rifle fitted with decent scope mounts. Frank

This blonde (made from birch) stock has normaly attachments for Mosin action, not floating. This kind of stock is accetable to find but haven´t seen them for a while. Both models, right and left hand are just mirror images of each others.

Yes the blonde in right hand is the one I am looking Planning on glass bedding the entire action and about the first 1" of the barrel. And with the normal attaching points as you said. I'd even take one of the walnut ones should they become available with or without the bushing. But would prefer the birch one over any other. I have an old Finn reworked 1935 hex receivered model 27 that I shoot cast bullets in. That old rifle can shoot. If anything comes your way all right handed Keep me in mind. Got everything (almost) to get it together except the stock.Leave me a pm on this forum. Frank

Interesting rifles .I have a Finnish 28/76 and would consider this more a Target rifle than a hunting rifle as much too heavy to carry for 20 miles or so a day as I do many times while trekking on a hunt.The 28/76 stock is one of the finest designs for pure shooting however.
