Looks great. How long did it take to do all the work? And would you do it again for someone else? Lol

really valuable mosins hahahah. you would have to live 200 years to see thatI am the same way, he did nice work, but why. So much time and money into something that might...just might shoot as well as a $400 new rifle?....to each his own.
I have seen far too many really valuable 91/30 modified....there are a billion of the silly things, at least do it to one that is not 1916 Westinghouse.
means?Then I slowly removed barrel material until approx 15mm round.
I removed barrel material around the barrel to get it small enough OD to thread it.I like it. And it's awesome that you did all the work yourself. I have a buddy who absolutely abhors bubbaized Mosin's, but my opinion is that it's an inexpensive rifle that's easy to modify, so why not?
I'm anxious for the range report. Did you do anything as far as crowning the muzzle?
Maybe that's what means?
He yea, first shot was with safteys...i was seeing purpleNice group; I did notice you are where sunglass instead of safeties, smart choice.
Killing living creatures for their hides/ ivory and bubbafying a Mosin are two different things. I built my Mosin 91/30 from parts so I could build it the way I want. My money spent on an inanimate object makes it mine to do with as I will.An infamous hunter failed to question the killing of over a thousand elephants for their ivory by himself alone at the turn of the 20th century. Similar story with the Buffalo. Things are there until they aren't. The fire at the Library of Alexandria was no big deal. There were plenty of other books.

there is a difference between killing 1000 elephants out of a 200,000 elephant population and hacking up 1 mosin nagant out of 15 million...
