Working Mosin

[Josh Smith]

Hi All,

I'm planning to finish my 91/30's stock as it's down to bare wood. Meantime:



In a T53 stock, the 91/30 becomes much handier; it swings like a rifle with a much shorter barrel.

I've not shot for groups. This particular Mosin is MOA capable in its original stock, properly shimmed and with handloads. I have the new one shimmed to where it should work properly.

After I get the 91/30 stock refinished, I might just take this T53 stock and pillar bed it. I have to make a few repairs to it so I might as well!

Regards,

Josh

Let us know how it works out.

Sounds like you know how to run a controlled experiment. Please let us know your results.

I would guess that the full-length stock helps dampen barrel harmonics all the way out, but that also depends on the relative thickness & stiffness of the barrel.

Looking forward to having my assumptions set aside by real data.

I too am very interested to see how the rifle performs in the T53 stock. Cleanest sporter I've ever seen.
