For The Gun Folks

Just ordered one of these (as a Christmas present to myself) and thought I'd post the link for anyone interested. Nice price for a Mosin Nagant 91/30. I'm going to drop it in one of these stocks and add a scope for a cheap hunting rifle.

Sweet find! But I'm saving up for a Sig 556 swat

Guess i'm just old-school, i like my wood stock

$89.95?!?!?! That's a sweet deal!

If the bore is good, she'll do OK. But the big question is whether or not she's American-made or Russian-made. Remington used to make a whole shitload of Moisins for the Czar army before the commies took over.

I'm planning on refinishing the wood stock and keep it, but I'll use the Monte Carlo almost exclusively.

If memory serves, almost all the 91/30's Century is offering right now are Tula's, that's what mine is.
Maybe a few Izhevsk's in there.
Personally, I wouldn't mind picking up one of the Finnish Nagants (maybe M39), but those are getting more rare and seem to command a higher price.

Speaking of the bore, I need to slug mine and see what the actual diameter is. It'll help me find a decent bullet for reloading.

I've thought about refinishing mine as well. That arsenal lacquer they come with sucks ass and the black paint on the buttplate rubs off on my shirt.
(or it did before I slapped a Limbsaver on that bad boy)
It may be a little like putting lipstick on a pig, but I like the full stock better than the aftermarket offerings.

I like my wood stock on my yugo sks. I hear the plastics make the rifle less controllable since it weighs less. Plus there's only one aftermarket stock I would some what consider for my sks.

Interesting point... a rubber buttpad would probably be a nice addition to my M44, because that thing kicks like a mofo.

My 91/30 is a Fin re-arsenal that I picked up a couple years ago, so I may be a bit biased about the original stock... not sure what the re-finish quality on the current batch is like.
