Default 1942 Chinese Mosin Face Lift

I bought a 1942 Chinese Mosin Nagant with some ugly beat up stock. The action is nice and the bore is somewhat dark but clean and decent. So, I decided to play around with it and see what turns out. First, I tore it apart and gave it a good cleaning and removed all the cosmo and gunk buildup. Then, I removed the front and rear sights and filled in the pin slots in the barrel. I sent the bolt out to Max Sheapard for his custom bolt bending and polish job, he also threw in a pull ring. His work is top notch and reasonable. I went ahead and purchased a Boyd's Thumbhole Stock in a grey/black laminate and fitted it to the action. I also free floated the barrel but, have not bedded the action yet. Then, I went ahead and drilled and tapped the receiver for an ATI base mount. A Redfeild 3x9x42 scope rides atop the rifle and is sighted in for 100yd zero. I still have to finish the metal with either Cerakote or Duracoat gun finishes, have not decided yet. It shoots great but, I have to find the load it likes the best. So far I have gotten 1.5" groups at 100yds with higher grained new manufactured brass loads. I think I can get it closer to 1" if I find the right combination.

Enough talk, here are some pics. Tell me what you think so far.



























Sorry for the crappy cell pictures, one day I will get a real camera.

The biggest pain in the a** you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morning.

Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.
