Can anyone recommend a reputable gunsmith in northeast NJ who can cut and recrown the barrel on my mosin and reattach the front sight? It has a fairly deep counter bore and I wouldn't mind a slightly shorter barrel as it's about 4 miles long on the 91/30. If anyone has a general idea of what the price would be that would help too. Thanks

Wanna borrow my hacksaw?

Sent from my hidden under ground bunker between Taco Bell and the dry cleaner

haha, while i just have a nice condition run of the mill 91/30 hex I feel I at least owe it the respect of taking it to someone who knows what the hell they are doing for taking out a few nazis in its time.

check with Joe at Mastadon

Also, the Heritage Guild in Rahway does it. I never went to them, but I did call for a quote before my Remmy 700 XCR was replaced. IIRC, the guy said it would be $75-80. That was just for a cut and recrown though....not sure about the sight.

I always click quote instead of edit.

Send it to ADCO. They do good work. I learned that some shops (not just in NJ) who cannot do the work in house, send the stuff to them. Crown any barrel - $30.

before you cut it , post some pictures of the barrel markings to make sure its not a rare one

Check out G&S Hunters in Paterson, they do excellent gunsmith work.

+1 for what junkmanted said.

my camera is currently on loan to a friend, I will post pictures when i get it back. I've searched this thing high and low hoping for an ex-sniper! haha, but I'm pretty sure it's just a nice example of an hex receiver 91/30. A few extra eyes giving it a once over couldn't hurt though. Anyone have an experience good or bad with Adco and G&S Hunters in Paterson. Patterson is a pretty short drive for me.

For the price you are going to pay to cut, recrown and remove/restake the FSB you can buy a new rifle. The accuracy you are

going to gain from it is going to be minimal at best. Your money would be better spent on a Chinese T-53 they look like hell but

95% of them have excellent barrels and very smooth actions they make excellent shooters and can be found between $99 and $150.00

for a nice example. It also saves the Hex rifle from being cut and devalued.

AIM has $89.00 shooter grade 91/30's in stock.
