I guess that idea of surplus never going away and a mosin is a mosin cut her for a hunting rifle never dies. Two 1927 tikka stepped barrels one bubba got. One he didn't. Another memeber put this on the EE (he wasn't the one to cut it)and I relized the serials matched he made a point of it being proof of people just chopping rifles because it's a 150 dollar rifle so what. Only 3000 of these were madeimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg so next time you go to get a hacksaw blade. Think of the children. Put it down stake a step back and check those silly little markings. ;)

Barrel is cut. And m91 stocks and cleaning rods are few and far between. She can be fixed but not easily. Id love to have it just because of the serial.
 
I didn't see that the barrel was cut unfortunately. I have seen a few M91 with dark / counterbored barrels on the EE for $300 or so. Might be worth it for the stock and to strip it for parts.
 
Yah, the Russian attacked with three times the numbers & suffered five times the casualties. Elephant balls those Finns had. But that doesn't really matter when it comes time to "improve" things. After all what could those "stuffy old timers" know about hitting their targets?
 
Probably counterbored and bubs thought he'd just whip off that bit of "bad" barrel and make it an instant MOA gun.
 
Those are worth pairing up.... don't see that much ever. Could pretty quickly thread an extension onto that barrel and blend it it - wouldn't look any different than a counterbore.

So - someone's got to sell their mosin to the other, or someone has to buy both, who will it be?
 
I swear to God we must be a crew of poets, we who think these two rifles should be rematched after so many years. :dancingbanana:

the luck of it.

Because it's the story of the two rifles, I'd clean up the crown to improve 9414 functionally, but that'd be it.
 
Why the #### would anyone do that???? This is why I hate the "his property do what he wants" stuff because guess what #######, some rare #### gets ruined by dumb ass cheap skate gunsmith wannabees.
 
When i saw desporterizers add for it i checked it out just out of curiousity. When i saw the serial my jaw dropped. The two rifles were 2 of 3000 that had survived the winter war and continuation and some were chopped up for m39s. Both been imported and in the past 40 years not completly trashed or lost to end up that close to eachother. I found mine in moncton. I cant imagine the chances.

While I mostly agree on negative opinions about the bubba works, however one must remember that once there were much tougher times and ppl instead of buying brand new hunting rifles had to resort to mirsurplus and cut it and adapt it for their hunting needs. They did it not for fun, but because they needed it, not because of lack of respect for historical rifles but because those rifles were from yesterday's war and there were nothing historical about them. Again, for me it's a different what had to be done by hunters after the war and what is being done to ww1 and ww2 rifles today by someone who consider them as "$300 fun project". At the same time I don't care about post ww2 rifles and I have all matching as issued SKS letter series I'm planning to "improve" and in 50 years someone will be damning me.

Yah there is that but the cut on the barrel is fresh. These days it make no sense to start cutting things up but 91/30 are still falling by the day. Most are just mishmash guns so its no big loss but some are worth preserving & precious few here can tell the difference.
