Caine 147 Posted June 16, 2010 Wow.. hard to believe that's a mosin. Fantastic job! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,878 Posted June 16, 2010 Very nice! With the paint job, don't just go straight up and down, go sideways as well. It's meant to break up the silhouette. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JonF 79 Posted June 16, 2010 i was curious to what spec these barrels are bored to and so i got out the materials and slugged the barrel. the lands mic out to .301 thousandths and the grooves mic to .311 thousandths--both great measurements for a mosin barrel! i've slugged a number of m-n bores including 91/30's, M44's, finn M27's and M39's and by far all the finn's measure out the best at similar numbers for pristine bores and we all know the M39 is one of the top 3 most accurate euro guns of that era. good 91's ive seen at .312 for an ex sniper with mirror bore and m44's are generally the worst at .315 sewer pipes. these barrels certainly have the potential on paper to be good shooters.

matt6669 71 Posted June 16, 2010 Eric that definitely no longer looks like a mosin. That looks like a high end 1k range rifle. Excellent job! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob B 103 Posted June 16, 2010 That's impressive. I think you're on to something. :clap: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I need 2 you want to see If Sarco will do a package deal on 3 of them I'm trying to go sat the 26th I just got a report that everything at Sarco has skyrocketed in price Ted. I'm thinking gunshows and auctions are our best bet for a junk mosin unfortunately Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maksim 1,504 Posted June 17, 2010 Sarco prices went up? If we can get enough for a crate, i think we can make it work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonF 79 Posted June 17, 2010 I'm in for a hex receiver beater also. I was gonna sacrifice a 91 with a shitty bore but the wood and metal are too good to violate it like that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bob B 103 Posted June 22, 2010 Eric, I noticed that you modified the handle on the bolt. How did you do that? Also, where did you get your junk parts from? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
