I just found out the tikka mosin my dad sold years ago got hacked up by the owner son after he did. He said it. Is nicer to carry now after cutting the barrel .I know...made me sad when I saw the "bent bolt" on it...just sad..
Yeah and it's in a Finn stock so chances are it's a capture. Darn shame.
Luckily sometimes what Bubba does is reversible. Back when Mosins were all over I was always looking for something special. Saw a long rifle in the back of a rack at a gunshop. Totally painted camo. Wood and metal. Wasn't sure what it was until I saw the "Popsicle stick" forend cap. I asked to see it and the guy said "what do you want with that junk"? It was a 1932 M27 Tikka all matching with winged bolt. I asked what he wanted for the junk. He said 100 bucks, I asked 50? and he said 75. I couldin't get the money out fast enough. Lacquer thinner took all the paint off leaving beautiful blue and a arctic birch stock. Rubbing some tung oil in and later 1/3 mix made the stock look right. I was lucky that day and so was the Finn.I just found out the tikka mosin my dad sold years ago got hacked up by the owner son after he did. He said it.

ya paint is easy to deal with thats why i dont feel to bad when i paint a clunker lol.
@fireman 9731 think we found that tractor beater you were looking for, at least the scope mounting replacement parts should be something you could rummage in the barn for
yup that one is very rare they sell for about $40,000
they have 100s of guns on that sit that will make your make u lose your lunch. about a month ago i called the on a obendorf type b mauser they had listed as known mauser. it had the barrel with express sights a type b bottom metal complete with double triggers a real nice bolt and all the arts for $80 bucks i was to late. this will p u off when talking to the man on the phone they received a shipping container with 2500 finn mosins that was crushed between the ship and the doc all destroyed.
ya they got a few. id like to put one together but money is tight and im in ny. i think i could do one for around 600 with one of those new actions. i dont no much about the mini tho with they were in 45acp. i think u can get a 5.7 johnson barrels.
Those hacked-up guns are a great source of parts. Especially something like that M14A1. All you would need would be a new M1A receiver.
Should have bought the Reciever and forend wood; You can buy barrel sets.
