you should just rename the thread the "FREE FOR-ALL Mosin Picture thread
heres a few of mine. I have one more, but it currently resides at my fathers house
left is a Finn M-91 "D" barrel, I picked it up for 100$ even with the crappy monte carlo stock. I tried for a couple months to find the original Finn stock, but only found two in excess of 400-600$. middle is a 42 Izhevfk that I sanded and refinished(first gun, didn't know any beter, although it is BEEYOOOTIFUL) and the far right is a Chinese.
the finn that I just couldn't find a stock for I turned into an all-out project gun since it shot pretty good. I was never able to betterthan 3-4 MOA with any of the m-n's I had handles, partly my fault I am sure and partly the ammo and stocks I assume. so I went on a mission for an MOA mosin, I have gottem close so far and confident I will get there soon. so thise one, I cut and crowned, removed the rear sight base, turned the entire barrel on a lothe. added scope mount, muzzle brake and did lots of polishing and tightening up. still working on finding the ultimate handload for it, but I am getting close.
ati archangel, wsn't my first choice, ut man is that a tight fitting stock, very impressive and I wouldn't throw her outta bed either.

the timney....wow. I felt like a sucker dropping 90$ for a trigger on a 100$ gun, but man is it worth it.
I know I am not going to be out shooting an M1 or anything, but this is y first set of load devopment, and I really think with some different combos, some work on the mount and some more trigger time I can get her right on the cusp of an MOA rifle. these are all 100 yards, the big middle target being the only factory ammo. the rest being different loads of 4064 under the hornaday .313 174gr. know, I know....I could spend less on an off the rack budget rifle and get the same to better results, but I am having fun
