Does anyone here have a Mosin 91/30? I keep seeing them pop up for about 150 and I could always use another nice bolt gun.
Decent rifles but not what I would consider a "nice" bolt gun. I would not buy one sight-unseen due to the use of corrosive ammunition and how it may have been stored over the years. If you get one that's been stored in a crate in Siberia for the last 70 years be prepared for a lot of cleaning. "Cosmoline" is one hell of a substance. They're cheap because there's actually millions of them out there. If you want a "nice" historical bolt gun and a Mosin why not look for an original 91?
 
I'm not exactly looking for a "nice" bolt gun. I have a weak spot for bolt guns period, and the fact you can shoot something with ballistics of a 308 for .22 cents a round (almost better than factory 9mm). Cosmoline doesn't bother me, as I am looking for a small/medium firearm project, and don't mind having to clean it up and maybe refinish the stock. There is a place local that has a few, I sent an email asking about them. Plus for 150+tax you can't beat the overall price.

Original 91's are hard as hell to find in my short look.
 
I want to see the first person view of that person on through their gopro on that "loop".

My brother and i both got a Mosin 91/30.we both snagged em for 150 from Cabelas one weekend, came with bayonet, ammo pouch and a bunch of other goodies.
i kinda just thought it was cool and the price was just too damn tempting to pass up. cleaning all the cosmoline was a bit of a PITA. its not the greatest shooter (keep in mind my brother and i both have .243's that split the same hole with 3 shot groupings from 100-200 yards) the Mosin is fun as hell, and at only 150 bucks if you ever run out of ammo it becomes a hell of a club LOL

Sweet, that's kind of how I was seeing it, its too good a deal to pass up, plus its accurate enough for general use as well.

im tearing mine completely down this summer, laying it out on cardboard in the sun in my driveway for a few hours.
supposedly itll help bake all the built up cosmoline out of the stock and other areas that the basic scrubbing didnt hit. after a friend did that with his, he was more pleased with how it performed.
 
Man, I'm getting hungry already. Makes sense when I remember I was deep in these plans before 5:30am, but still, lunch is SO far away.
 
Waiting on HR to send me some paperwork. Might have to fly out to Utah for training next month. I kinda hope I have to go. They Fed us like kings a couple years back when I went. Although the booze laws out there are WHACK!
 
I just skimmed this, but this guy is insane. He put $1000 bucks into his Mosin for the sake of seeing how accurate he could get one: http://www.alloutdoor.com/2014/02/0...ent=2014-02-11&utm_campaign=Weekly+Newsletter

Not my cup of tea, but hey, I also don't have 1k to toss at something for the hell of seeing how well it improves.

thats pretty cool. if you spread that out over severaly years the 1k total isnt bad, but still to put 10X the amount of parts into the gun as what you can buy it for seems silly haahha



ive done a similar build on my Model7 243 lol
new stock, reworked the trigger, Nikon scope, bipod and a few other things lol

But that gun is worth it. The Mosin, half the interesting part about it is its so darn old, and replacing everything on it takes that away.
 
Really youtube? You expect me to watch a 10 minute and 34 second advertisement? Honestly? skip that s*** in 5 seconds
