I just bought a Mosin Nagant M38 (1943, nothing special), which has been counter bored. Asside from that, it is in fabulous shape! It has very strong rifling, matching serial numbers, great finish (probably refinished, because the blueing is phenominal), Izhmash markings, sharp edges on all of the wood as if the stock was brand new, etc. All the good things, none of the bad...
But can someone tell me about what happens when a rifle is re-bored? It almost looks like this rifle has never been shot and might only have been re-bored because it was in a batch of rifles that had the same thing done to them. I know that it is bad for collector value, but that is not my concern since I bought it to be a shooter. Will this hurt or help the accuracy of my new rifle?
Anyone know anything about this?
