Guys I acquired a Finnish Mosin Nagant a while back for around $85.00. The barrel looked brand new and unfired other than the small pit right on the land in the last 2" of the barrel on the muzzle end. I have been pondering the thought of sporterizing it. I would probably cut down the barrel about 2" to make it around 26". I also want to put a muzzle brake on it and a bent bolt. What do you guys think? I know some people are purists and I am one of them for the most part, but that pit in the last part of the barrel irritates the crap out of me! Any suggestions?
