I just aquired a M-N carbine with folding bayonet, chambered in 7.65X54R. It's a ball to shoot, and reasonably accurate.
The muzzle blast and felt recoil is objectionable. (I'm told this is the nature of the beast) What can/should be done to give this old warhorse some range manners? Muzzle brake ? shotgun recoil pad? Kick-eze? Restock? other?
Since there are many of them around cheap, and relatively in expensive ammo is available, I won't feel bad chopping this one up a bit to make it better handling and generaly more more useful. I don't want/need a pretty little "sporterized" shiney thing. A short, squat ,ugly thing, bouncing around in the back of the buggy, that will drop a hog up close, without doing permanent damage to my body Is more in line with what I want. What's to be done? Thanks, Paul.
