So after all these mods, how does your rifle shoot? was it worth bedding/floating it?

The MOJO sights were the biggest improvement as far as accuracy. The stock sights are real piles of garbage. The trigger certainly made it a nicer rifle to shoot. I really have no quantifiable observation about bedding/floating but it was all apart and was a simple mod. I have little problem putting rounds on a 16x9" steel target at 200 yards, prone, sitting, kneeling, standing, off a bench.
If you want a real nice surplus bolt shooter, check out 1903A3 rifles. The peep sights on those are awesome. I hear K31's are real nice too, never shot one. As far as modding out a cheap MN, I probably wouldn't go any farther what what I did. I guess you could put a bent bolt on one, mount a scope, and attain higher levels of precision. Too much money to throw into a cheap gun... |

You'd love a k31. I have one and it is a dream to shoot. Its super accurate and the action is very smooth. I've shot an 03', but it was sportierized. I'd like an original one.
I may look into a mojo sight, mine is a 1946 m44 with a near-perfect barrel. It shoots very well. I want to keep mine fairly original, so I'm looking for an extra m44 stock that I can refinish/bed/free float. My problem is that I can't justify spending money on a rifle that I paid $75 for.

I redid mine. Its worth $90 so why not. One piece of advise I can offer you is that due to the old oil based finish on these rifles the stain won't take to the wood. Being this way I had to use a polyurethane which already had the stain in it.
