Just traded a Mossin Nagant for a Model 11. It was made in 1923. It's got a 32" full choke barrel on it. There are no cracks in the bolt or anything. It was filthy and filled with carbon and gunk when I got it to the point that I could hardly charge the bolt. I cleaned it out thoroughly and oiled it (blueing is completely gone). I used a brilo pad and oil to remove small surface rust spots. Does anyone know where I could get a shorter barrel? I'd like to use this one for hunting and a shorter barrel for home defense. Also does anyone know where I could get notch sights for deer hunting? Tried to post pics, but couldn't will try later.
