The Mosin Nagant is a solid rifle, though, and surplus 7. R ammo is still readily available for about 0. Even modern production ammo perfectly suited for hunting, target shooting, or defensive purposes is widely available and almost always at a lower cost than ballistically comparable rounds like. What we have here is a long gun that isnt particularly pleasant to shoot in its standard form. Its huge, its heavy, it kicks pretty hard despite its weight, it has no provision for an optic and its fit and finish is what youd expect from WWII Russia in my instance. But its an excellent platform for a project build. Now, although I expect comments rife with hate for ragging on a great battle rifle, the fact is that my Mosin served little purpose for me. Its not particularly enjoyable to target shoot and Im not lugging that ridiculous thing and its bayonet on a hunting trip. It was a great weapon in the First World War and, although it defended Mother Russia nobly in WWII as well, technology had already moved on. The last few times my Moist Nugget saw the light of day it simply served to introduce new shooters to a true rifle round mostly so the experienced shooters could giggle at the OMG recoil faces. The purpose of this build, then, was clear fun. Turn a neglected 1. Mosin into something thats a blast to shoot. A rifle that looks fun, handles better, recoils less, makes some noise and flash and, above all else, demands to be shot. Something that draws attention at the range, that other people want to try. Something that works for new shooters. I think Ive accomplished that. Let me show you how I went about it. Just like any recipe, it can be customized to suit your tastes. The Build Right off the bat I knew the stock was a goner. L6-gqHQjf78/hqdefault.jpg' alt='How To Install Pu Scope On Mosin Nagant' title='How To Install Pu Scope On Mosin Nagant' />Other necessities were a scope or optic of some sort, a shorter barrel, a muzzle brake to tame recoil and increase the fun factor, some coating to inhibit corrosion and make it look cool, and serious trigger work or an outright replacement. I spent some time shopping around and then dropped off the Mosin and the following box o parts with my gunsmith, Nick at HCTC Firearms. The first step in the build process was cutting down the barrel and threading it for the brake. I went back and forth on having the brake permanently attached so the total barrel length including the brake would be 1. Eventually I decided to just do 1. The short barrel makes the gun handier, and the additional unburned gunpowder makes a bigger fireball. Yes, in my mind fireballs more fun. If youre worried about velocity in a 1. Mosin, its better than you might think. My gunsmith mentioned that the narrow barrel didnt leave much room for a shoulder, so he actually threaded it so the brake would be perfectly clocked without having to use shims. As an added bonus to cutting it down to the minimum legal length, I was left with a sweet wall hanger the end of the barrel, complete with front sight and bayonet assembly. Moving more or less from the back of the rifle to the front, Im going to do abbreviated reviews of each of these parts along with any notes on how they worked in the build process. The Stock Pro. Mags Archangel stock for the Mosin Nagant was released about a year ago, and was available only in black until recently. Now there are desert tan and O. D. green flavors, too. Its rare that aftermarket polymer stocks are lighter than battle rifle wood stocks and this one is a couple ounces heavier but you get plenty of other benefits from the Archangel aside from its looks. Not that the slick, modern looks are a minor thing here. The main benefits are Drop magazines. Theyre easy to load and function very well. They insert easily into the beveled mag well and they drop free. The only issue of note is a side effect of the clip round retention system if you insert a loaded magazine and then release it, the top round is going to get stuck up in the top of the mag well area. Not really a safety issue since its too low to chamber, whether it was stuck in there with the bolt back or not, but its a small oddity. Easy dial click adjustment for length of pull via telescoping recoil pad. Its a nice recoil pad, too. Grippy rubber with just a touch of give. Easy dial click adjustment for cheek rest height. Goose neck sniper style grip with nice palm swells. Its great. Theres a storage compartment in the grip, too. Inletted to accept the Timney trigger with no modification needed. Blanking piece included if youre keeping the stock trigger. Three steel inserts for QD sling studs. Free floats most barrel contours. Flat bottom forend is great for shooting from a rest and feels decent in the hand. Has provisions for mounting rails and the kit comes with a section of polymer picatinny rail great for attaching a bipod. Im not exactly a Pro. Mag fan, as I find some of their magazines to be hit or miss, but this stock rocks. Its pretty freaking sweet in just about every way. Installation was drop in. It feels and works great. If I have one complaint, it would be that the light Desert Tan color gets dirty pretty easily. The Trigger Okay this Timney trigger is just ridiculous. I dont think its really possible for a trigger to be better. It has zero slackpre traveltakeup whatsoever and zero creep at all. None. This means that pulling the trigger feels like putting your finger on a solidly fixed steel bar. As you increase pressure, absolutely nothing happens. Then, when you get to the release weight, the break is precise and clean and perfect. That glass rod or candy cane analogy Yes, it breaks like that. Its even end user adjustable for release weight from 1. The default is 3 lbs. I measured it. One cool feature of this trigger unit is that it has its own safety lever. This brings easy onoff thumb safety action accessible with both hands in firing position to the Mosin Nagant, which otherwise requires some cumbersome pulling and turning of the bolt cocking knob. In the factory stock, you have to remove wood to make clearance for the safety lever and for parts of the trigger units body. As mentioned, the Archangel stock is already inletted so the Timney install is a significantly easier affair. For all its faults, the Mosin is a pretty accurate rifle. Some examples are extremely accurate. The triggers are usually terrible affairs, though, and mine was horrendous. I cannot emphasize enough how much this 1. MSRP part did to make my rifle feel like a high end modern firearm. A trigger like this will certainly decrease your group sizes. The Scope Mount Brass Stacker has made a scout scope mount for the Mosin for a long time. This version is pretty small and light and it mounts only on the factory rear sight base. Brand new for the Mosin is their Anchor Point mount, which uses the recoil lug as an additional mounting point and shores things up quite a bit. Its probably excessive for the extremely light See All sight that Im using, but would be a great choice for a heavier scout scope or a long eye relief pistol scope. I really like the Anchor Points looks over the lighter offering.
