Now all you need is a Lowel stock...
Turn down the cocking peice, bed the stock, put a decent paint job on it, mount your new scope and you'll be in business!

I thought it looked cool with the muzzle break, but you know what they say, "function over form."

I FINALLY got my mosin back in action, I got the scope back from being repaired and got back to the range, and since me and a freind did all the work ( cut the barrel and recrowned the barrel) I was got it sighted it at 100 and it was shooting 4 inch group with military surplus ammo. and when i took it back out to 300yds i was hitting a 10 inch steel plate every time i pulled the trigger, yes i know i can do better with reloads and i am working on it know but i all of this was done with old russin military ammo so i am REALLY happy with my built. i will post when i get the reloads worked out.

As a handloader, I have come to look on the steel case spam can ammo as inexpensive components of surprisingly decent quality.
Since I also own a collet puller and collets in several calibers, it was easy-peasey to break down some (a hundred) and reassemble them to tighter charge weight standards. I use a weight of 49.0gr of the original powder, as well as 49.0gr of IMR-4064, as a benchmark load that shoots especially well in my unaltered 91/30, and also runs nicely with HDY ".303 caliber" 150gr SP Interlocks.
I have another two 91/30's on order, and am looking at maybe trying my hand at making a homemade stock for one of them.

When cutting it down to 22", what kind of crown is best or does it not matter?

Decided to take the Mosin deer hunting this year for kicks. I had to get a scope on it quick, since I am horrible with irons. May not be the best quality, but I found 5 people running this LER scope. We'll see how it holds up, I go to sight it in tomorrow.
For those who care I did this on the cheap. NCStar 2-7x32 pistol scope, UTG dovetail to Weaver rail and Burris Zee rings. Total cost was 66 dollars to my door. Gun also has a Timney trigger, so total investment was 266 bucks including the cost of the rifle. </div></div>That is awesome! I never thought about a pistol scope on the rifle. How did you fasten the rings to the rear sight? Did you have to remove the sight?

Re: My Mosin Nagant Project
For the Crown i did something differnet. i took a brass screw and placed it in back words in a drill and just kept running the screw head in the top of the barrel till it looked right. You can go on to Youtube and find a instuctional viedo on it. It might make more sence if you see it. But it is shooting really good so i am guessing it work good and It LOOKS Like a gunsmith did it.
