Double awesome and kick ass too on you!
Nicely done, I’ve no doubt you’ll satisfactorily fix that
“riding high” problem. Is the stock out-of-true or is there
just some excess material preventing proper seating?
A real redneck would just heat it up a bit and throw a steel screw-clamp on it. ;-)
Just excess material. The kit actually came with a washer to add in that point just to help it sit better but it also recommends trimming material from some points to tighten up the fit. I don’t think it is too much of an issue, the Mosin’s barrel floats and is mounted only at the magazine and receiver.
