mohctep Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I have gotten a BAD case of Target rifle fever. Has anyone here ever made a target rifle [with a heavy barrel,micrometer rear/front globe sights,target style stock] out of a Mosin Nagant receiver?

flaco Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Greetings, mohctep- Welcome to the forum. If you ever get serious about a target rifle, try MT Guns. I have it on good authority they're pretty knowledgeable on target rifles. flaco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyjim Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 do a search on the finnish TKIV 85 sniper rifle & the finnish model 28-66 target rifle, there are also russian biathlon versions & army match versions. valmet made a adjustable trigger for the mosin nagant, i'm tring to locate one for my heavy barrel mosin project.

ken98k Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 One of the members here built a very nice target Mosin http://www.sporterizing.com/index.php?show...p;hl=rock+solid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohctep Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Holy Smokes! You guys build some really AWESOME rifles around here! Except for having target sights instead of a scope,that is pretty much what I would love to do someday. First I will have to come up with the $$ to complete my target mauser project-but it never hurts to dream about future plans huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyjim Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 id like to see that trigger it might be the last bit of arm twisting i need to buy a couple mosins they are very hard to find outside of finland. it took me at least 6 months to find out it was valmet that made them & i still haven't found one for sale or any idea of where to get one yet. some of the romainian 91/30's also have a different trigger & sear that adjustable, i've had no luck locating one of those either. for the safety i'm trying to find a picture of one a finn m27 that was modified to take a mauser safety so i can see how it was done. i'm also studying the greek ms 1903/14 safety to see if it can be adapted to a mosin because their bolts are very similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gun nutty Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 The following images were taken from the old board. No idea who did the work. The sear was modified, and it was also used as the bolt stop. That's supposed to be a no-no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
