I was just wondering if anyone has ever seen or made a Mosin Nagant with a 24" barrel. Seems to me it woud be long enough to make use of the powerful 7.62x54R round and still be a manageable length for field use. I know none was ever officially produced but someone must have tried it. How about you, Cosmoline, you know all about these guns ;-)
If I do it , I guess I would get one of the surplus barreled actions and have it professionally cut down and crowned. But what to put it in? A 91/30 stock may actually be too long for a 24" barrel. I could put it on my M38 but then I wouldn't have the M38 to play with. Any suggestions?
Is this a good idea or a bad idea?
Thanks.
