Try www.advancedrifleparts.com for a no gunsmithing mount that really works. I don't have any financial interest in them, but I use one of their mounts on my 91/30. It has stayed put and held zero for over 1000 rounds of all sorts of surplus ammo plus my own handloads.Hello friends and neighbors // Thanks, I see the sniper bolts are available ,but you have to do some drilling and tapping on an Infantry rifle to mount a scope. Easier to buy a sniper model for me.
Cosmoline said:You KB'd a Mosin? How?
you can guess what happened from there.
just realize how dangerous it is and be careful next time
Cosmoline said:Any number of things--but I'd love to see details and photos. It's not every day a Mosin is actually blown up. What gave way? Did the gas vent through the magazine? What happened to the bolt?
I was thinking of reloading at one time but read something that stuck with me.
I can't remember it exactly but it went something like......
Think of reloading as a math test and if you get the wrong answer, you lose appendages.
I suck at math.
The magazine simply left the receiver/action . The pins broke/were seared in half. The barrel had a hole in it and from the action forward to about half-way down the rifle it was cracked/opened up. I guessed something must have been left in the barrel but the two rounds prior to the KB would testify otherwise. And how would a blocked barrel explain the magazine? I didn't really look at the action and bolt. By the time we had come to the conclusion I had experience my first kaboom! I wanted to throw the entire rifle away.
