But one question. Is it going to be good with a dark bore but with good rifling?
My first curio & relic. the mosin nagant.

Also In the buttstock theres this black line that starts at the butt plate and goes up a couple inches. what is this?

It should shoot fine with the dark bore and the good rifling.
my bore isn't very shiny either, but still has very strong rifling. after all the cleaning I've done it's still dark, but it shoots well.
I wouldn't worry about the dark bore if I were you, if the rifling is good, the rifle will probably be a good shooter.
I don't know about the black line, it could be a crack, it could be anything. if you can make a good picture, maybe we can identify it.

Have any of you guys seen the UTG tri rail for the mosin?? It looks like a pretty hot setup.

to me, it looks like something for a Mall Ninja... a scout set-up isn't really my taste either, but this is just plain overkill.
I have no intention to offend you, and I hope I didn't Benroe (if I did I apologize) and I'm sure it will work fine, but I like classic rifles like the mosin nagant as original as possible.

The UTG rails really only have a place on the Mosins with the replacement stocks. You know the ones I mean. A tri-rail system and a mosin should not be mixed. Anything other than a scope you'd pop onto the rails also has no place on a Mosin.

why would a mosin need to be tacti-cool anyway?
You're right about that Thomme.
good question Young Mosin; a lot of people like to "sporterize" old war horses, mostly so they can have a cost effective hunting rifle (especially because of all the surplus ammo), but still have modern advantages like a scope.
but some just seem to go berserk on their rifle, if you think thats the worst bubba can do, check out these ones below. yes, that's a mosin....
here is a whole thread about bubba'd mosins (edit: just checked, some pics don't work)

30caliber:
On average; a pizza will arive faster than an ambulance.
I drove an ambulance for 14 years.
Why do you have such an asinine tag line?

Ya know, I saw that too and scratched my head with a, "Huh??" Maybe it's a Dutch thing? I gotta tell you 30cal, an ambulance will arrive in the U.S. really damn fast! And we have some of the best emergency response personnel in the world to go with it. Is there some sort of problem in Holland?

I am sorry if it is offensive, I do have a lot of respect for people who drive an ambulance, and any other personnel in this sector I do not mean to attack anyone personally. I think the ambulance does a fine job at saving lives everyday.
there was a survey once (both in the UK and in The Netharlands), and it turned out that on average a pizza did arrive faster than an ambulance. but like a any other tag-line, you shouldn't take it literately. what I mean to say with is that you can't just always rely on other people, you should always try to take care of yourself, because there is no guarantee that others can always help you. with 7 billion people on this earth, there is no way an ambulance can be anywhere within a few minutes even with all the dedication and expertise these people have.
I am merely trying to make people start to think about trying to be prepared as much as possible. a lot people don't even have a first aid kit at home, and from the ones who do, there are a lot who don't know how to use most of it.
In The Netherlands (I don't know how it is in other countries) an ambulance is used more for non-emergency transport than real life threatening situations. this puts an immense stress on the personnel. if ordinary people would not try to rely on others as much as people do these days, there would be a lot less pizza's needed and above all a lot less ambulances needed.

OT: last I'll have to say about the "ambulance" thing
As I suspected there's a cultural disconnect happening. 30cal, something to be aware of on this mostly American forum (where you are very welcome and we're happy to see you) is that not only does your tag line not make much sense to an American (given how fast our ambulances arrive) but that America was founded on a "can do" mentality by those who forged the country out of the wilderness through cunning and preparedness. A guns forum like this is even more inclined in that direction.
Most folks I know where I live in the U.S. do indeed have emergency supplies at home (to include stockpiles of water and food). Are 20-something kids in the big cities as well prepared? Not so much, but by the time they get a family and grow up a bit most of them do. Country folks are more practical from the get go in my experience growing up on a farm in the Heartland.
I think your sentiment is a good one but it doesn't translate well to Americans so perhaps a better/more catchy phrase or quote would be more appropriate? I think you can do better.
One thing's for sure - you've got me looking at the Mosin sniper repro for sale at my local sporting goods store! It's $400 which I just can't pull the trigger on but perhaps it'll go on sale and I'll snap it up.
Cheers,
Oly

pu Scopes are really expensive. should i just get a reproduction rifle or the scope package.

Well, you'll have to get your bolt bent, drill and tap the receiver... and even then, if you're gun isn't accurate, it'd be for little more than looks.
How's your gun shoot? If you shoot sub 2" groups at 100yards, it should be ok.

I cant shoot with iron sights. my bullets are everywhere. my uncle did make two shots near the bullseye though

two shots near the bullseye an approximation of accuracy doesn't make. If you're going to sink the money into turning it into a PU sniper (with will be about $60-100 for the bolt body or to bend your existing bolt body plus $2-300 for the scope and mount) you should figure out how well the gun shoots. Don't you wear glasses or contacts? My girlfriend's half blind, but she can still shoot with irons.
Thanks for the understanding Olyinaz,
"America was founded on a "can do" mentality by those who forged the country out of the wilderness through cunning and preparedness."
This is exactly why I like American forums like this so much, because of your history, there is a lot more experience, know how, understanding and practical ingenuity about things like being prepared for the worst than with us city folks here, Holland is a small country with about 17 million people, so everything is cramped, there just isn't any room to go hiking or hunting (even still, because of all the rules and regulations it will still take AT LEAST 2,5 years to get a hunting license IF you can find and hire a patch of land).
so practical knowledge like being able to make a fire, having emergency preparations, being able to catch a rabbit, let alone marksmanship is non existent with the youth these days.
I am 20 myself, and most of my age group is (besides school) to busy getting drunk, playing Call of Duty and trying-to-wear-their-pants-as-low-as-possible-until-it-hangs-on-their-knees and not-giving-a-damn-about-anything. the cultural disconnection of the youth from it's heritage is very strong here.
I don't deny playing a game once in a while myself, but it doesn't control my life like a lot of teenagers these days. And I sure get strange faces when I tell people that some of my favorite historical figures are Sergei Mosin, Elmer Keith and Chuck Mawhinney.
until I can come up with a catchier signature phrase, Im removing te old one.
Thanks, take care and the best to all of you,
Louis
