hello all,
so I've been rattling around the idea of getting my hands on a handful of Mosin Nagant WWII bolt rifles and churching them up by either bluing the steel or case hardening the recievers and butt plates(or a combination of the two) and refinishing stocks and turning them into safe queens.
so a few questions come to mind
what would the danger be in case hardening the receiver of an antique rifle that takes a relatively hard kicking round?
would anyone be interested enough in such a weapon as to justify the amount of work that would have to go into it?
what do you think a decent price would be for such a weapon?
all the cookie cutter MNs are going for about $90-110
