My first remington mosin nagant.. Thoughts on it.

mangled stock, looks like the barrel has been cut down, front sight looks like redneck gunsmithing. Atlanta Surplus and Auction?

Yup. Figured I would throw out a bid and see what happened. Didn't expect to win it. But what the hell why not see if I can do something with it.
 
I got an AR from them at an auction. Instead of a firing pin retaining pin it had a piece of toothpick. I thought it was a rusted pin in there, I managed to get off about 80 rds before the toothpick broke.
 
I see a rifle with a lot of potential. A Tapco stock, a PU style scope mount on the side of the receiver and a turned down bolt and you could have a dandy little deer rifle. I'd make that practice job of a front sight installation go away though. :)
