I bet the .223 is pretty neat. Have you got it drilled and tapped for a scope? a scope I've seen online where they've been rebarrelled to .444 and .45-70.


Why do I have to press 1, for English?

I tested with a 40X scope

The bolt is pulled back.
The lifter is raised.
The 223 round is placed on the lifter.
The bolt is pushed forward.
The rifle is fired.
The bolt is withdrawn causing the case to fall out the magazine well.

Accuracy is great.
Feeding is slower.

Pretty neat. Nothing wrong with a single shot. Did you have much trouble with the bolt face, and extractor?

I ran an end mill in the extractor relief slot in the bolt head... like a Finn converting to 9x19mm.

And the extractor drops deeper into the bolt face to grab the little 223 case head.

They are today going for about $350.00.

...

So, now you can reenact Biathlon like it was in 1963. Okay, it won't work in Florida because of the lack of snow. Take a look at that video when a guy named Hanno Posti from Finland approaches the line at the shooting range. He has some history as a successful 10,000 m runner.

Pretty neat and accuracy is nothing to sneeze at.


I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects

I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

That is the most accurate Moisin I've ever seen. Well done.

Yeah, it's a little odd vs other kinds of triggers, in that there's a kind of stacking feel as you approach the wall, but then the break is quite crisp and light, to the point that it would sometimes surprise me when it let go.

It's accuracy surprised the hell out of me. Even beat out my Swedish Mauser by a half inch at 100 yards.

Here's my 2.5 inch 100 yard group with my Swedish Mauser. And the lowest rear sight setting on the Swedish Mauser is 300 meters (100 meters on the Mosin Nagant), so they land quite high of point of aim at that distance. The Swedish Mauser has a nice crisp trigger too, but about a pound heavier.

Good post... thanks for sharing.

Shooting a PRS built gun well is quite easy.

Shooting a POS built gun well is not. I am happy for you.


If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Never mind if you cannot understand Hooke's law of spring forces, just read on.

The best trigger fix [adjust to 2 pounds trigger pull] for a Mosin is to buy the Timney for over $100.

But for free you can bend the sear/ trigger spring [4.5 pounds trigger pull and still have safe engagement].

Polishing the parts or installing a Hubber trigger have no measurable effect.

Cool picture. I notice that the bolt handle is turned down on that one. I guess to accommodate a scope.

Yeah, that's it. I've got two like that. Good to know it's good stuff. Corrosive?
