I'm all for saving a few pieces of history but well I'm thinking most mn rifles that I would mess with would be in a shape where most collectors wouldn't be interested.
i've got some rare wwii memoribilia here, let's chop that into pieces as well!
(someone had to do it)
If we were talking about an Argentine Mauser or No. 5 Jungle Carbine, I'd cringe a bit, but since literally tens of millions of Mosins were made, I don't think there's much danger of all the good ones getting hacked up.
If he were talking about hacking up a Finnish M39, Remington or Westinghouse M91 or a 91/30 sniper I might say something... Otherwise hack away...
Why limit yourself to a stock blank? Why not just buy a big old log of your chosen wood and whittle whatever type of stock you like out of it? Look, I know it can be done, I never said it couldn't. All I'm saying is that in order to get a M-N stock that looks even remotely close to a "sporter" you're either going to have to go with an el cheapo plastic one or invest more time and/or money in a wooden on than you would on another platform.
well the timney triggers have a safety on them so that would cure the safety problem. Might be something im going to have to look into.
well i would rebarrel any way so wouldn't really matter.
