[woodchopper]

should of used some wood filler and sanded it a bit before painting

Oh but you just gave me an idea for that LB stock I have with a huge gouge out of the side

 

[Beater]

it is what it is. gona see rough use this fall, didnt think it was worth fixin all the dints and chips. wont make it shoot any better anyways.

 

[roy6585]

[Beater]

Depending on the barrel wear you might end up cutting the most accurate part of the rifle off.

From a Mosin Page...

Due to excessive use (from friction and hot gasses), the bore tends to become wider near the chamber and tighter near the muzzle over time. Therefore, if you ever try to "sporterize" an old military rifle by cutting back the barrel, your removing the best part of the gun!

all of the #4s i have made into tankers, not one of em shot worse after. they all shot better.

 

[Calum]

Perhaps you improved the barrel harmonics by shortening them.

 

[Beater]

actually, i would guess that there would be muzzel damage on most of them, from cleaning, or being stuffed in the dirt, or both

I've heard shorter barrels maintain greater rigidity, and are thus more accurate. Either way, that atrocity looks great Beater!

I would have to agree with that, My tanker shoots very well

[ViperQc]

FYI,the owner says it's a "picattiny rail"
