From the Mind of BUBBA

Is that drilled and tapped into the chamber? Tell me that's not drilled and tapped into the chamber?

I haven’t payed much attention to my garbage rod in a while but I don’t think that’s part of the chamber yet, I could be wrong though.

It's not drilled and tapped into the chamber. the holes are d&T over the lug recess area.

That type of mount wasn't unusual 70 years ago. I had a Remington Model 30 Express with an identical style receiver ring mount and rear bridge mount, which straddled the bridge and was screwed into the sides. They used slot head screws to hold them in place of course.

The mounts on my rifle were made by one of our local smiths, right after the Model 30 Express rifles came out.

The mounts in the ad are a commercial variant of course.

If they work as well as those on the Model 30 Express rifle I had, they should be just fine.

Ukainian UPGRADE?

Or maybe Yugoslavian??? Lots of innovative work was done there to such rifles.

Just wow, the amount of effort to modify an old mosin, apparently these were commercial, I see a few for sale across Europe: added a safety in/on the trigger guard.




conjecture as to them being a Chinese mod: https://www .mosin-nagant.de/sonniges_kerlchen.html

Nice one. Czech, American and Russian 'mods'

I think this was a parts kit or 'bag job' he obtained with no stock.

Up fore sale in Germany, SSG 96, not sure who did it, but the scope mounts are something interesting.

I read somewhere that in Soviet times, civvies were not allowed to have sporting rifles in Soviet calibres, leading to such creations as the M91/30 rebarreled in .308 Winchester. I heard this third hand from a poster from Poland. True?

I believe this actually maybe from pre-current Ukrainian War in the fight with The Little Green Men. I think it was Armament Research out of Australia that published a pdf book looking at the development of the MN rifle as a adjunct or modernization of the WW2 rifle as it’s employed on a modern battlefield

does this count as bubba?

 

[fat tony]

Hey that looks like a bespoke one off base. Ajack, ZF 39, PEM?

 

[55recce]

Saw this on twitter/X however without explanation....

These two would make a person want to heave his/her Miroku Model 70 into a slough. Love the rake for CBQ.

[Dosing]

Genius, problem solved.
