mosin project gun..

[mosinnagantm9130]

rare??? standard mosin with a turned down bolt already on it??

Maybe it'll turn out to be a triple MO, DDR marked, ex-sniper that was a re-capture from the finns.

I'd lol hard.

just means a stock change,where is the butcher?? old stock would be donated to a calgunner,scope mount would be on the tangent base,so i do not see any butchering??

Actually, those bent bolt RGuns rifles are a bit of a mystery. Kind of like the MO marked rifles, no one is really sure what the story is behind them. So, yeah. Rare.

sorry interloper but everyone has their desires and styles,thanks for your input on the subject..

[stitchnicklas]

went to the ontario gunshow,no mosins for under 100 there,some fool was selling cia basic mosins for 175.

still waiting for a already moded or ruined stock mosin to show on radar...

bought a tangent scope mount so that i do not have to drill and tap the mosin,this way she is not desecrated by me

[PayThePrice]

Enjoy your Mosin! If I find a rare one I won't mod it. Since mine aren't...








I need to lower the scope and a few other things but she shoots great.

why dont modifying/Sporterizing/Bubba-ing of guns go into the gunsmithing forum it is more appropriate there than here in the C&R forum where it does nothing but piss us knuckle dragging, know nothing purists off. This way we can go back to talking about which original finish is better, tung oil or BLO.

but insulting folks ain't nice conduct,a mosin is a curio,and bubba-ing as you call it is not being done.changing a stock and using a scope does not amount to a bubba gun. and what i do with my property is my decision not yours.

i was not drilling and tapping anything,a stock is a stock,and if you have a problem with scopes by all means take any you own and throw them in the trash.

do not make my project plans your troll drama....

I'm with you. All such posts belong in "Gunsmithing & How-To".

edit:
Stichnicklas I see you posted while I was typing.
Noonanda wasn't trolling or insulting you. I don't see anything in his post that could be construed that way.

[PayThePrice]

Not trying to piss you off at all. If the rules tell me to do so I will. I understand both sides. Have a good night.

If you are doing non-permanent mods to an unaltered rifle and have the ability to put it back in original configuration, this probably would belong in Gunsmithing unless you were asking how to put it back into original configuration (this doesnt happen here all that often but does happen)

If you are doing permanent mods to an original or unaltered rifle you are most likely removing it from its federal C&R status, thus it does not belong in the C&R forums, but Definately instead belongs in the gunsmithing forums.

If I am hurting your feelings because I am not going to pat you on the back and thank you for removing another historic rifle (remember they used to sell matching or mostly matching K-98s and 1903a3s dirt cheap for sporterizing) from the available pool of weapons, aint gonna happen.
If you expect me to say thanks for making my rifles more valuable, again not gonna happen.

Im not going to tell you how I think your rifle looks, I will just post the facts

$150 dollar Milsurp rifle + $200 in parts and labor for "improvements" = $50 rifle posted on sale on gunbroker.

[Noonanda]

I am not against mounting a scope, but a "rock solid" scope mount is permanent, where as ther are many non permanent scope mounts out there.

And I am not against using a already altered rifle to create the rifle of your dreams, but it does not belong in the C&R forums and instead belongs in the Gunsmithing forums as that is what you are doing, gunsmithing

a stock change is not gunsmithing,2 screws and the stock is changed. plus the old stock get donated to a calgunner

the scope mount i have bought is one that goes where the tangent sight is,it involves a no permanent change in removing a pin and using a screw to attach the base.

here is the sight base->http://www.centerfiresystems.com/mos...tmntmoi03.aspx

You changing the stock removes it from Federal C&R status, so it doesnt belong here then. How can you then return the rifle to original configuration if you are donating the stock. Hell I have a 91/30 barreled reciever that all I need to put it back in original config is a stock, but you willnot be able to restore yours to original config without purchasing a new stock

Wow - this site is sooo entertaining. Having a discussion about what is C&R and what is not C&R in a C&R forum now equals trolling. Complete with stoopid troll icons. Sweeet! The amusement will continue no doubt when a petty tyrant...er, daddy authority figure has to step in to moderate.
