Very nice guns!!!
I've personally never seen "commie" weapons "refurbished" as nicely as you have done these....they ALMOST make me want one. I wonder, what could you do for my Hungarian Mosin Nagant? Some here have seen and can attest that she is a WELL worn beast that needs some TLC.
Very nice guns!!!
Hey JT,
Ill keep you updated with my process. As soon as I have funds for the rail I want, Ill start on the left side charger. I want to make sure the rail/optics wont interfere befor I make changes.
Im debating on wether to keepthe right side charger or not. I think Ill keep the factory handle and add the other............
What are your thoughts on the idea?
Clue me in here, whats a karma thread?
You wanna see my Mosin?
Give me till tomorrow afternoon, and Ill take and post some good pics. I just recently finished mine.
Its one of my favorites in my collection.
If you are near the Glen Burnie, MD area tomorrow I can bring it to the shop so you can see it first hand. Mine was beat to hell. It coul be a museum piece now.
Does yours have good headspace and a good bore?
I was suggesting that you are giving these away to whoever wants them
I'm nowhere near Glen Burnie....actually I'm about 2hrs south of you and working all weekend.
My Mosin is a rugged beast. SUPER reliable (ONLY issues I have are infrequent magazine issues) but seen better days. Numbers don't match, bore is not super but not horrid either. Headspace? I must be frank, I have no idea how I would assess that. The stock is is BAD shape...it's been repaired once, looks like someone used it as a club and snapped the buttstock off. Don't have a cleaning rod and missing one of the barrel rings. Yeah it's in bad shape but damn she is reliable.... not too bad on the accuracy either. Holds sub 2" groups at 50yds using milsurp.
Don't tell my wife, but I think I'm in love with Veronica
Gotcha. The bolt IS a bit sticky....it's definitely not a Rem 700 action but not horrid. I can operate the bolt with the rifle in my shoulder. Takes a bit of manhandling to unlock but not an ungodly amount.
Accuracy is ok I guess, I don't think I could expect sub MOA groups out of 50+ year old ammo and rifle. Need a good 1000 yd range and spotter to figure out exactly what she is capable of. 100 yds is worthless given the 7.62 trajectory.
Mine shoots great with heavy ball Privi Partisan (Non Corossive/Current Manufactured) Ammo. Sometimes a recrown, corking the barrel, and putting in a huber trigger really helps.
The Mosins dont seem to like the light ball ammo.
Seems like you have a great base rifl to work on.

Beautiful!!! I love the finish on those...I think I may have a new project to work on now....Hmmmm!
The wood work is amazing!
would that kind of finish be applicable to my WASR 10?
I'm really diggin that finish
where are you at in Glen Burnie? Thelma ave...what street is that off of?
