rdered a gunsmith special mosin form classic figuring i needed a little challenge
the challenge is larger but it will be revived. the largest thing needed is a new stock. if only this thing could talk it must have seen some things.
it does have good looking rifling in the barrel with no pitting inside that can to be seen. the stock is gone so i removed it from the metal then put all the metal in bucket of oil. the bolt handle, barrel, magazine floorplate(force matched) and butt plate have matching numbers
i have most of the metal parts including rear sight needing replaced, it's a tula(mark on tang) 91/30 unknown year but refurb date seems to be 1950
at the shop it got sand blasted after some oil soaking/hand sanding until the metal was bare
some black cerakote afterletting it dry and cool down
assembled it into the full metal portion of the rifle
parts salvaged
-bolt handle
-receiver
-barrel
-front barrel band
-rear of bolt
-firing pin with spring
-buttplate
-buttplate screws
-bolt head
-front sight
-magazine
-ejector, ejector spring with spring screw
-trigger with pin
-cleaning rod
-magazine plate
-all metal parts from the stock
replaced
-trigger sear/bolt block
-rear sight (much harder to replace then it looks)
-larger barrel band
-wood stock
-mil-surp sling
