New Rifle

[Pirate]

So 3 years ago my best friend took his life, No I am not happy with it but he had his reasons. And we all moved on. I was not an avid shooter and had only purchased my first pistol 4 years ago. When I got it he said hey lets go to the range. I agreed. He brought all the guns he had, pistols, rifles, and shotguns. Basically loaded up his car. We shot pistols first then off to the rifle side. First and only one he brought was this Nagant... I loved it even though some kid who should not have been at the range knocked it over and killed the scope. I shot anyway. Loved it. Fast forward to weeks after the funeral I told the widow I wanted the Nagant. She said when she was ready I would be offered it first. Well this past Sunday she reached out to me, and offered it up. (must add she is a family friend to my wife still) I called AFJuvat and he gave me some ideas as to price to offer. I did, probably a little too much but I feel content. So below is one of the better pics.

Awesome deal. A new rifle is something to smile about!

LOL you win Pedro, it has been removed. My buddy did keep his stored weapons as safe as he could. The bolt is now where it should be.

Sorry about your friend. Enjoy the rifle and memories of better days with your friend.

My condolences on your friend, I pray that he is finally at peace.

So I have started looking into some ideas to maybe make this rifle even more modern and something eyecatching. but I am wondering after finding the stock I like and doing some research would I also have to purchase a new trigger kit? or would the one existing work?
Here is a link to what I am looking at. Before I hit buy I would like some input from you folks

You don't have to replace the trigger to replace the stock.

The Archangel stock makes it very easy to install a Timney trigger down the road if you want to.

If your going to bench only that stock would make sense. If you want a more versatile gun, I'd go a different way. Just my 2.

It is pretty much going to be on a bipod. just ordered the stock. To be honest the way it is now is hard to shoot without a rest.

[Pirate]

Well the stock came in, and I did the install... So painless. And yet soothing.

Nice work, looks good!

Looks like it cleaned up pretty good.

Make sure you measure your firing pin protrusion. On that funny looking tool in the cleaning kit, there will be 2 notches, one marked 75, and the other marked 95. The foring pin should be between the two lengths.

If you naad to adjust it, the screw on the back of the bolt.
