Modding a Mosin?

[pepito]

I wish I had snatched up one of the uk59 barrels when they were cheap. Also on your stock for just a few more dollars you could go with one of these http://www.boydsgunstocks.com/Boyds-...ocks-s/172.htm

Other than that rock solid is good to go and you can do a lot to a mosin trigger without going the timney route.

If you scroll down there are tons of links for aftermarket parks.

The rifle on the right is my modded Mosin. The one on the left is one of my type 53's. I am trying to figure out the best scope mount to use on the modded rifle.

Looks good!!
The easiest ones are the ones that mount into the existing rear sight leaf block

Theres long and short for the scope you want to use.

The best ones I have dealt with are the "Rock Solid" mounts. Kind of a pita to install and sometimes they need steel bedding to the receiver but as the name implies they are a solid mount. The bolt handle requires alteration as well.

I have looked at the rock solids. My bolt is bent but I am not sure if it is bent enough for the mount. I am definitley paying somebody to mount it. My drilling and tapping in the past has not been so precise.

The bolt handle needs to be cut, extended a tad and rewelded. You also need to make sure you have the optic you are going to use as the mount/scope combo must be complete at the time of mounting to correctly align it prior to drilling/tapping.
Give me a holler if we can be of assistance.

I saw one the other day on armslist with a 16" bull barrel and compensator duracoated OD Green. It was pretty sweet. Wish I would have had the cash to pick it up.

Think after chewing on it, the categories I am impartial to are the sight / squeeze portion of the rifle. Anyone find a cheaper trigger option than the Timney?

FWIW - if you remove the rear sight assembly from a 91/30, there's a 3/8" dovetail on top of the barrel, and you can clamp a 3/8" scope mount on there for a .22 or air rifle. This is a Leapers mount I got from Optics Planet. I don't know the Item Number offhand, but I'm sure it's here in an old thread somewhere, I've mentioned this before. But you have to use a long-eye-relief scout scope.
