Found the link to this on www.thefirearmsblog.com the other day. I'm a "maker" myself, but don't hold a candle to this guy! At the top of the page is an entry or two on a Dragunov style stock he is building for a Mosin-Nagant- and down the page are several entries on the 10-round magazine he designed and built for a Mosin-Nagant!
BTTT from a Mosin-Nagant owner and fan!

Wow! That was quick! The party crashers don’t usually show up on MN threads until post 20 or 30! :)
I have never been a fan of the Mosin-Nagant either. The mausers are far more refined and more pleasant to carry with the flat bottomed receivers.
To give the devil his due, they are reliable, tough and accurate.

I have a soft-spot for these rugged old rifles. BTT

But for those of us here in the real world, the Mosin-Nagant is a damn fine weapon. I own two, both of which hit accurately out to 200-250 yds with iron sights. The rifles, together with 2,000 rounds of ammo and 50 or so stripper clips, cost me just over $400, with tax. I'm sure prices have gone up since I bought all that two years ago, but they're still a good buy for anyone on a budget.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Best $100 you can spend in my book. Since silver is high the 91/30 might be the better investment! I need a few more.
Last one was on sale for 99 bucks with full kit, bayonet, sling, and had a beautiful bore. The cosmoline is a pain in the butt though!
Bent bolts and scope mounts can be had. Thus scoped, easily slams the steel targat @300yds. With a distinctive ring rather than a girly man .223 ping.
I ordered my first two MN’s and am expecting delivery in the next week or so. Now I know this isn’t the best place to get opinions and information (that was sarcasm) on rifles but I’m hoping I can get a bit of advice on the best methods to clean these bad boys up.
Thanks in advance to all.

You will find general info in the sidebar and mucho advice in the forum section. Not just Mosins but most every other type of milsurp. Some ahole called dynachrome hangs out there once in awhile, too. :) (Forum is free to join)

Ps. For checking out what type of Mosin you may have, these guys know everything:
Some a$$hole using your handle? Oh the humanity...
Your criticism would be valid if you could buy those guns FOR THE SAME PRICE as a Nagant. Since you can't, your statement is comparable to somebody saying that a $15K Honda Fit is garbage compared to a $120K Mercedes.
There are lots of Americans who can get away with spending $200 for a Nagant and some ammo, whose wives would divorce them if they spent $2K on a high-end rifle.
Mine are the hex receivers which were purchased from J&G. There's not a whole lot of info on their website as to origin, etc. But I've done business with them before so I'm reasonably sure I'll be pleased.
Thanks again. I'll look that guy up when I get there.
That would be a fun mod to have!
(lot’s of collectors would shudder at the sporerizing of the Finnish Mosin and the M44 carbine at the site)
