-please no hate posts for altering the gun, thank you
I used to have this long thread on this one build, but ill just share this update
I was still having problems taking the rifle to shoots as its case being a 9130 mosin nagant was fairly long, so it was hard to travel, carry
so I had the barrel cut to 22" , had the iron sites remounted and sited [still functional ] and polished up by a local gunsmith, gun is black ceramic coated now by gunsmith
whats been done so far
prior to this I installed a boyds laminate thumbhole stock, older stock I had to free float, used rock solid pillars to bed ,mosin plus muzzle break ,rock solid scope mount and bent carrier group [so as to not waste my original carrier], warner no move scope rings with a vortex scope mounted [cant remember the model off hand]
a cnc custom machined magazine extension system
now with all this its a rather light and easy to use gun, I can detach all the mods and slap in the original setup for use
but as it is now its very fun and smooth to fire. it donst have much kick and with the 10 rounds I have now I dont have to reload as often.
all in all I call this project pretty much done [unless I get a new stock with a riser.... or make one]
It has been a very dependable gun with some ups/downs down the years, this was my 1st rifle ive owned myself and its my favorite to shoot still
i noticed my groups did tighten up with the new length, but at night it sure does have a nice fireball now, anyway thanks for checking it out
