here is one of my stranger projects, a 220 swift AI mosin nagant.
it started out as a slightly sportered remington 1891. the original barrel had been shortened to 24", it had been put in a ati stock, bolt slightly bent & marbles sights.
the barrel was toast so it sat in the corner for about a year.
then i got a wild hair & decided to make something interesting out of it.
the barrel is from a remington 722 & was originally chambered in .222. after rethreading it came out to 24 7/8" long to the face of the receiver. i still have to add sights & i may add a q/d sidemount to ait with a weaver K-6. timneys side safety mosin trigger is out now so i'll order one next week for it. i still have to tweak the ejector & do a little work on the magazine since 220 swift cases are to small in diameter to stay in the magazine.
i'm going to do something with the bolt handle too when i put the scope on.
bolt head modified for .473 casehead next to a standard bolthead. i also shimmed the extractor back .010.

i was going to use this receiver for a 22-250 build with a tikka barrel but i thought it would be neater to use the remington barrel on the remington receiver & i'll do the 22-250 on another hex receiver
