Very nice!

Wow.. hard to believe that's a mosin. Fantastic job!

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.

That's one sweet looking Mosin.

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.

Eric that definitely no longer looks like a mosin. That looks like a high end 1k range rifle. Excellent job!

wow, sweet!

That's impressive. I think you're on to something. :clap:

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

Is Tony from TJ Sporting Arms all out? I bought mine from him a few months back.

it needs to be a beater I cant break up a good working gun it would just make me sick.

I will stop in and see maybe they have receivers .

keep me posted please

Eric you have certainly outdone yourself with this one!! Can't wait to see this beast in person, awesome 8-)

Sarco prices went up?

 

If we can get enough for a crate, i think we can make it work.

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.

I'm good for one or two.

I will potentially be good for one... depending on the price.

Okay, I'll bite.

You can just buy one and give it to me to cut the barrel off, thereby making it junk.

I took it out to play today and re-zero the scope. Ammo was 1985 Russian light ball. Temp was 92

That looks slightly better than 1/2 MOA. Congratulations! That's incredible performance.

Impressive grouping! How did u dress your muzzle? Did u leave it as is or crown it in some way?

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?

usnmars could you check your pm's please I have a couple of questions for you.
