Mosin nagant scout

[GROO]

I did a Tula, Mosin scout project, for a Hog gun and I love it.

1. I dropped it in an aftermarket stock that allowed some free float in the barrel.
2. I did not turn down the bolt, because it works for me and the action is slicker than whale crap in an oil spill.
3. I used a muzzeloader scope so I wouldn't have to worry as much with shooting the scope out.
4. My cousin chopped and recrowned the barrel at 16 1/2 inches.
5. I run the 224gr Soft Point ammo because it hits shoulders really hard.

Point and shoot to 200 yards all day. It's cheap and fits just well behind the truck seat. I can abuse the crap out of it. Is it a tactical or combat rifle in this form, not really, but it always goes bang and should it ever be stolen I'm out next to nothing. It doesn't have to work for you to kill for me.

For anyone who doubts what the Mosin can do in the hands of a farmer in war, in the extreme cold, who still holds 500(+) confirmed kills, you should read about "White Death" Simo Hayha.

Could you post a photo of that thing? Well used irons with their history written on them are always interesting.

That was a cool rifle... Although how much did he have in it and where did he get all his parts finished like that... Looked cool, but cool costs...

That rifle is clearly from an alternate timeline. The Tsar still rules in a modern but retro Russia.

Wow that's pretty cool.im not sure I like the silver though.And what about that mount is it just a normal rail where the rear sight used to be? I bet that whole thing only cost him 600 bucks -the Timmey trigger

The man states he's going to spend $800.00 on this project. I bought 5 Mosin Nagants as safe fillers/drop and run bolt guns, I paid the extra for nice hand picked ones. They were nasty and I don't think I can even put "MOA" and Mosin in the same sentence, it's literally total luck of the draw. After spending some extra cash to get them some what decent, I might has well have just grabbed a Savage Edge by the time I was done.

If your doing this as a project then knock yourself out, personally I'd spend my hard earned money on a different project.

I understand it to be a craps shoot, but I have seen accurate Mosins; merely stating that with an accurate rifle, its not that much in the way of overkill.

That's just me.

Mount or.gun... I bought the mount fabbed up the gun... It's a UTG mount from cheaper than dirt... It's like $30 there is a $70-80 mount out there and if the utg didn't work I would have gone with it... But for this gun I just put a millett red dot on it and called it good...
