Mosins are great for allowing me a chance to learn some gunsmithing. I've been able to try things on them that I would not have been willing to do to a more expensive piece of hardware. And friends who could not afford a higher-priced rifle found them a reasonable starter firearm. Lee classic loaders are available for them for $26.

If you build a handload with 12-14 grains of Trail Boss and a 110-125 grain .308 projectile, youll have an 1100fps .22LR-like rile that youths will enjoy shooting.

Just tell them the story of a certain Finnish farmer and what HE did with that piece of equipment..,..
