I don't really got high praise for anything you can buy off a shelve for under 200$, They are great for what they are. Basic crude built, cheap and reliable.

You were given one ?? Lucky bastard !!

Hey, haven't you heard the saying "never look at gift horse in the mouth" ??

As for being crude built, you must be thinking of wartime Mosin Nagants. The finishing on those is pretty crude but hey, who could blame them, they were only mass-producing firearms to chase the Nazis from their homeland. North American production values might also take a hit if someone landed on our shores and got busy raping our women and slaughtering our children !!

As for cheap and reliable, replace the word "cheap" with "inexpensive" and we've got a deal. As for reliable, yes they are. It takes alot to "mess with a Mosin". Have you watched IraqVeteran's Mosin Nagant torture tests?

Cheers !!

Actually traded 1 gun for 3 ( 7.62x51 K98, Mosin and M1 Carbine )

They were produced after the war? So how can the finish improve when they ALL made during the war?

91/59 were the newest to be made and All they did was shorten 91/30 barrels and threw it into a different stock.

Well, technically Russia didn't win two world wars because the Bolsheviks bailed out of the first one, just like Lenin had promised his German masters before the communist coup in 1917. ;)

As for the second one, it's debatable whether or not the USSR would have been able to beat back the Germans without all the help it was getting from the Allies. Unbiased historians even in Russia itself admit now that without all the foreign help the USSR would likely have fought the Nazis to a stalemate, giving up most of the territory they conquered by 1942.

But of course none of that diminishes the value of Mosin as one of the great combat rifles in the history of warfare. Aesthetics-wise, the beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but to me it looks like a beautiful rifle.

Yes, this is true. Lenin was a real bastard. Let me rephrase then, while they weren't doing very well on the eastern front they had not lost the great war fielding the Mosin-Nagant.

As for the second world war, allied assistance to the Soviet Union was invaluable, especially supplies. It is indeed debatable. I have read and heard numerous accounts from Historians though that even without the western front the reds still would have made it to Berlin with allied supplies and assistance.

The 91/30 and M44 were made after the war. Until the late 1940s, production then continued in the satellite states until the late 50s.

And obviously they were made from 1895-1940 as well.
 
Thanks all for your input. As bp2626 stated I intend to go with the Rock Solid or true shot mount. Since i got the rifle for free and my brother in law has a scope for me I will end up with a decent rifle cheep. Now what are your guys thoughts on the ATI Monty Carlo stock for it.
 
I have the scope mount that goes on the dovetail under the rear sight. How does the sight come off. Do I knock our the two pins? Does it matter which way I drift them? Are they difficult to get out?
 
Anyhoo... I got those low pro dovetail to weaver adapters in today, you need to tap them on ( which shaves the alum adapters ) which allows very low scope mounting, but cross bolt patten is pretty short ( would need off set rings so you can get a better eye relief if needed ). Figure I let people know. Dropped a Tasco 42mm reddot on and Its pretty much like looking down the iron sights.

I just chose a adjustable rear sight option.

Which ever way starts to move the easiest. Honestly the 2 I had were not that hard to remove.

I start with a short punch and big hammer to start the pins. Normally held with vise grips to save your fingers. Then once started can tap the rest out easy. The sight base MUST be removed from the rear towards the muzzle. Because its more of a tapered dovetail with it being wider towards the action. It measures out to around 11.8mm at the front to about 12.4mm to the rear. Wood block and hammer and knock it off. Then you can get away with 3/8" or 11" I like the 2 bolt with the set screw on top adapters. then you just make sure when tightening its center.

I never had an issue with it backing off.

Copy and pasted an earlier reply from an earlier thread:

The best mount are the Rock Solid Industries mounts (you'll need to import through borderview, you can Google them, good guys out of Washington state, they are the cheapest).

Next best thing available in Canada is the TrueShot stocked by http://www.hical.ca/

Both make round and hexagonal receiver versions.

Is anyone else selling these TrueShot mounts in Canada? HiCal only seems to have the hex receiver mounts, and I need a round one...

No, I asked TrueShot directly and they said they don't ship to Canada and have an exclusive agreement with hical. You can always e-mail or phone hical and ask when the round receiver version is coming back in stock.

Email sent... I'll let everyone know what they say.
 
A friend of mine told me once about a young fella who wanted to buy a good horse, and he heard that an old cowboy who lived nearby always had horses for sale. So he went out to talk to him about it. The old fella listened to him talk about what he wanted. Quarter horse, good withers, deep chest, big in back, good feet, real cowy, and all that. The old fella reckons he's got a horse that will fit the bill that he could let go for $500.00. The young fella gets all head up and says "I said I wanted a good horse, not a plug." So the old fella goes "Oh .... OK. I got a horse that's got it all. I can let you have him for $2500." The young fella says "let's look him over" and they cut a deal at $2000. The old fella only ever had one horse for sale.
 
Yes thats true. But will the corwin arms bent bolt body work? And im confused as to why it has to be low profile...you would think that if the true shot sits high enough to keep and use the iron sites you wouldnt need a low profile bolt.

Yes, you would think, which is why I asked the question, in 2 different threads.....need to know from somebody who has this set-up.....bp2626 has answered my question both times with the low profile bolt

post #5 looks suspiciously like a sniper style bolt with the Trueshot mount...not a low profile

The guy who fabricates the True Shot mounts did tell me he had another version in the works, so, maybe they have another version, email them. The regular True Shot mounts don't work with a stock sniper bolt though, needs a lightening cut and some material removed from the mount itself. This could have changed. Ask True Shot.
