Mosin Nagant Sporter Project

My goal was to make a lightweight scout type rifle, without breaking the bank. Mosin Nagants (MN) are readily available and inexpensive. They are rugged and fire a 7.62x54R cartridge that is readily available in the surplus market.

NOTE: I make no claim to be an expert in these matters, I am just sharing what I have done for the enjoyment and benefit of others.
 

• Selecting a suitable Mosin-Nagant
• Clean, disassemble, and inspect
• Striping the stock and repair (if needed)
• Shaping the stock
• Fitting the recoil pad
• Bedding the action (float barrel)
• Cutting the barrel and re-crown the muzzle
• Polish the trigger components
• Make mount and install red dot sight
• Refinishing the stock
• Refinishing the metal
• A look at the results
