Hi All,
Every now and then a project that doesn’t make sense initially has to be explored. It can frequently lead us to unexpected outcomes. Sometime ago I took an interest in the Mosin Nagant and found tons of useful info here in this forum among others.
There are lots of guys that have done some amazing work in accurizing the Mosin and I don’t need to rehash their work here. You can find them by doing a google or youtube search on accurizing or sporterizing the Mosin-Nagant. One of the builds I found was by a current army sniper that changed everything but the receiver on his weapon and ended up with something that looks like a high end deer rifle. That amazing rifle in his hands was shooting 3/8” groups at a hundred yards. Another guy on youtube was hitting 3 out of 5 at a thousand yards.
I thought to build on their work by designing a high end modular chassis system that will accept the Mosin action and can be configured to the shooter’s mission. Below are pics of the modular chassis system I recently developed. The chassis will accept standard AR type buttstocks and AK pattern pistol grips. The top cover is a medium length (about 14") with 32 slots. The top cover can also be configured in long or short configuration depending on mission requirements. As you can see from the pics the barrel is free floated with plenty of cooling airspace around it. The chassis will accomodate a barrel up to 1-1/4" in diameter. At the front is a Harris type bipod with a custom attachment block for the pin and no saddle is used.
The Mosin parts in the pics are standard except for the barrel is shortened to 20" and the rear sight base has been removed as it interferes with the inside of the cover. Over the next few months I plan on experimenting to get as much accuracy as I can from the standard Mosin parts just to see what's possible. If the project manages to generate sufficient interest I may bring it to market and possibly develop some additional goodies for it. Let me know what you think.
Cheers
