Mosin Nagant Carbine Carbine

[David]

I made a tool the other day for removing a Mosin barrel, this was the motivation for that.

I cut 4" off the barrel and shortened the front of the stock about the same amount. I also turned down the end of the barrel and reinstalled the original front sight.

Here's the whole happy Mosin family.

I can't wait until pictures of the fireball are posted!

How short is that barrel?

What is a carbine carbine?

I fired it off the back porch a few times on new years eve, my son said it was about a four foot fireball, my wife said it lit up the whole back yard. I'll have to see if I can get the wife to try to get a picture of it.

The original cabine barrel is 20.4", I cut 4" off and after I cut a new crown on it the barrel came out to about 16 1/4".

Hows it shoot?

Haven't fired it in the daylight yet....The barrel on this one wasn't great to begin with which is why I decided to cut it up, so i'm not expecting pinpoint accuracy, but i'll try it out sometime in the next couple days and let you know.

I see a chainsaw in the backround is that what you took the 4" off with? Great project looking forward to picks. (insert purple as needed)

Classy sporterized Mosin. I too can't wait to see the fireball!

That is pretty awesome!

how hard was it to get the barrel out? Ive been gathering parts to build a "semi-precision" Mosin with a bull barrel at some point.

Very well done! I like it.

 

[JettaKnight]

That's nice job!


I saw one similar, but it was a 1917 Remington 1891

I posted a thread on that a few days ago, https://www.indianagunowners.com/forums/long_guns/256791-gunsmithing_removing_mosin_barrel.html

Once I got the tool made the barrel came apart easier than I expected it to. If you don't intend to reuse (or even save) the old barrel it could probably be done without the clamp/wrench. You would need a lathe though.

What is the kick like

That a cool looking mod! I also saw your other post of the barrel removal tool. Good looking work and a nice set of russians!!
