I can either buy a $2500 dollar rifle and spend another $1000 dollars modifying it to be what I want, or I can spend $100 dollars on a rifle and spend $1000 dollars modifying it to be what I want. The truth is how much different is a "modern" bolt action rifle, compared to a "outdated?" bolt action rifle. I've seen $1000 dollar rifles that don't shoot as accurate as a Mosin, and the beauty of that is, if I don't like it the way it shoots a Mosin only cost me $100 bucks. Besides it is more fun to build a custom rifle that represents your personal character than it is to purchase a ready made rifle that represents somebody else. But that is just my opinion. Great review. I will certainly be using a Timney in my build up. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLREeayjoCmGq5K6E0lEJBCK6bTwSjDSS5MSalzbrennernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-40453433728467349682013-05-05T15:12:33.907-04:002013-05-05T15:12:33.907-04:00Too True.

He made most of his shots from very close range (as far as sniping goes) at under 200 meters (although...200 meters with an iron sight is a lot better than I can shoot). While a great shot (he won several marksmanship competitions after the war) his greatness is more as an infiltrator. Finding the target, remaining unnoticed and making the kill at the opportune moment. Note that almost half of his kills were made with the Soumi KP-31, a submachinegun. Supposedly the Soumi is pretty accurate as submachineguns go, but it's still a submachinegun.BigDemonicBunnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-4640026926240637962013-04-08T22:52:22.630-04:002013-04-08T22:52:22.630-04:00Get a chance, go to thehighroad.org; go to the gun...Get a chance, go to thehighroad.org; go to the gunsmithing forum and read the stickies on ramp and throat jobs.

If you're going to kit out a mosin, you're doing it because you want a mosin. Cultural capital and all that. However, if you do want a mosin, and you don't mind replacing parts, then a new trigger is the first thing you should get (unless it's a finnish Tula Mosin-Nagant. Those have a much lighter trigger pull. But then there is a reason why the finns refurbished those rifles in the first place). Military triggers tend to be built with the philosophy "To be able to pull this trigger you must REALLY want to", because they tend to feature a triggerpull of 6 pounds and upwards.BigDemonicBunnynoreply@blogger.com
