The barrel was probably like a 30 year old sewer pipe long before the other guy got the rifle. Mosins were issued to illiterate peasant conscripts who didn't care if the thing shot well or not, just like AK's and SKS' were. Not that it really matters.
2 or 3 MOA is still good for a beat up rifle. Especially one that has been 'semi sporterised'. Bubba being what he is.
"...what MOA means..." Means 1" group diameter per 100 yards. 1" at 100, 2" at 200, etc. A consistent 2 or 3 MOA is plenty accurate enough for deer/bear/elk hunting.
