Yes it would. Im surprised people haven't chastised you for wanting to bubba a Mosin. I dont think its that terrible as long as its reversible.

[Dr. Peter Venkman]

You can, but why?

[Mac]

Just keep the Original wood stock in a safe place
for when you want to switch it back. Two Weeks?

[robcoe]

You can, it should fit, but other mosin owners will laugh at you.

[reidnez]

LOL--it's your rifle, do what you want with it, especially when it comes to completely reversible mods. Keep the original stock of course.

[maxwellca21]

Let me know when you don't want your Monte Carlo anymore i will buy it from you.

I 'bubba'd' my M38. The orig stock is still in my safe.

Seems like a lot of overvalued Opinionated emotion over modifying a $100 rifle, with 50 or more variants, and more than 30 million made.

Who cares?

+1000, these rifles cost $100, and most have little collector's value (but a very cool history). I am refinishing my pre-war 91/30 stock right now with BLO because I don't like the gloss of a shellac finish, and I'm also thinking about getting a synthetic stock to pop on for hunting trips or zombie invasion scenarios. There's nothing wrong with modifying your rifle, regardless of whether it's reversible or not... but it is always a good idea to keep the original parts so you can switch back if possible (especially if you want to sell it later on). Let us know what stock you get and how it fits!

It wasn't that long ago 1903's and 1903A3's were cheap too...Just because 91/30s are cheap now doesn't mean they will always be. They gotta run out eventually. I'm already starting to see M39s dwindling away compared to how often I cam across them some years ago. Look at of much people are paying for some of the Fins now. M44's were everywhere and are still not too hard to find, but I think they are starting to dry up slowly as well.

I think it's great that your gonna keep the original stock. Rare or not you still got yourself a nice rifle with some history behind it. Should you ever want to put it back to original specs you'll be happy you saved the original stock.

It's a free country, so no one can tell you not to modify your rifle, but please make sure it is not some rare model/year/configuration before you chop it up and paint it pink!! That's the part that kills me, seeing a rare finnish M-27 with a junk scope bolted to the receiver and the barrel shortened with a hacksaw and a flash suppressor welded on the muzzle... oh and the uber-rare ski-trooper stock that has been sanded with 40 grit. It's inhumane.

If it's just a big 5 special from 1942 when they made 2 million of them.... have at it.

Story #38: I bought the after market stock on line, got rid of the "battering ram" wood stock (some years ago) and I put the wood stock in the trash. After using the light plastic stock I noticed (duh) that it kicks pretty hard. So, I took off the recoil pad and filled the back of the butt stock with some (scrap) nuts and bolts, then poured concrete/fix-all/bondo (forgot which) in the stock. I know there are those who are thinking: What? But it added weight. The rifle is heavy but the recoil is much better. I try not to flinch when that big round flies out of the barrel. Have you ever seen the flame out the barrel at night? By the way, I love the accuracy. I painted the front sight with a touch of flourescent orange and took a set of files and (carefully) cleaned the rear "v". I can out shoot my buddy (lucky) with a scoped .308 at 300 yards. A-ru-ya!
