Well I am bored as usual, so figured with all the new Mosin owners I'd see if there was any particular interest for write ups on "pimping" a Mosin. I am taking votes on which areas people want the most so I know which write up to do first.

 

Options are as follows:

Pillar and glass bedding the action and free floating the barrel

Making the bolt as smooth as a baby's bottom

Making that nasty stiff hard trigger nice, light, and break like glass

Basic stock refinishing

Complete re-barrel and convert to 45-70 or .300 win mag

Re-crown the muzzle

Drill and tap for scope mount

 

I am not an official gunsmith, but really shade tree and like to figure stuff out. All of these projects I do in my garage and only take a couple of hrs. I just figured I'd pass on some knowledge to anyone interested. So which one do you want to see first?

TRIGGER!!!! TRIGGER!!! TRIGGER!!!!!!

 

Or I could just drive to your house and you could show me, that might be easier HA

I'd be interested to see a write up on a Mosin trigger job first 8-)

 

1. Making that nasty stiff hard trigger nice, light, and break like glass

2. Making the bolt as smooth as a baby's bottom

3. Pillar and glass bedding the action and free floating the barrel

 

thanks!

Smooth/lighter trigger would be ideal

On a Mosin? I thought it was one of those, "Oh snap" guns. lol. Aim at zombie, shoot and get two if you're lucky.

I vote for a smooth bolt!

I would love to see a writeup on a free float and bedding..... it can really improve the gun I feel.

When you smooth out the bolt,does that mean I could use the 2x4 for it's original intended purpose.

I want to see you bend the bolt on one of my Mosins like you did your's

I double dog dare ya!!!

 

:pray: :pray:

Smooth Bolt and Trigger job are my votes!

45-70 conversion

Well things kinda took a turn. I started a "monster mosin" project and decided to do the write ups as I tackle projects on my rifle. It is going to be a mosin with a VZ-59 machine gun barrel(heavy chrome lined bull barrel already chambered in 7.62x54). I will adapt the reciever to take detachable psl mags. And I am going to make my own stock. So as of now, I have the old barrel removed, and am going to lap the lugs, smooth the bolt, and make my trigger before I go back to work for 3 weeks. That should be enough for now. Next time i get back, we'll do the installing the new barrel and making the stock and installing a scope mount. What do yall think so far.

Here is the barrel i am going to be using.

Holy cow that sounds impressive! I have to assume that you have access to a machine shop to fabricate all this stuff?
