As long as we're wrecking Mosins...

I want in!
The gun started as a 1923 Hex 91/30. When I bought it it was missing a front sight. I ground the mount down the mount, sporterized the stock, and intended to use the gun with a scout scope. The problem was that the barrel was way too god damned long to serve any purpose. Plus, I don't like the scout scope.

The plan is to cut the barrel down to a usable length, add a bent bolt, (i may not need one for sure, but i like them better than straight ones) add a rail and some dollar store low-power optics. I'm considering a comp or flash hider, as well as a front grip and pistol grip. But the barrel is the first thing to go.

Pics to come shortly

It will take a laser, tac light, and at least a vertical grip to win this one.

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

Going to try my hand at making a bent bolt today I think

Got the bolt bent bubba style for a total cost of 75 cents

It looked much better in my head...but breaking a tap in the bolt kinda of slowed my progress and pissed off my spirit
