Wow that's pretty neat, tahuna. Bullpup style and everything.

Wait a second... I'm pretty sure I saw that gun on RoboCop....

Duzell · November 16, 2013, 06:07 PM

interesting, some more epics would be nice. and why not like mosins ??? they are a fun gun

tahunua001 · November 17, 2013, 06:13 PM

I didn't say I didn't like them in general... just that one. it fell way short of expectations and in the end it was better in it's original state. this config improves in some areas, creates more issues in others. overall it's a good step up from bubba'd sporter but not something that I would buy again.

Duzell · November 17, 2013, 06:23 PM

anything you can machine or replace?

tahunua001 · November 17, 2013, 08:01 PM

the biggest gripe I have with it is that the trapdoor cheek piece flops around so it's not exactly stealthy. I'm thinking about D&T the hinge and body and fashioning a spring to hold it shut when not in use.

Duzell · November 18, 2013, 01:08 PM

that would be an awsome project to keep tabs on.

i know a few users with that similar issue. might give them some inspiration?

Mossy500 · November 20, 2013, 09:03 PM

My 1942 Mosin, a bit beat up when i got it.I know its blasphamy to some but i refinished it and i think it looks pretty good.

Unspoken · November 20, 2013, 09:53 PM

M38 I picked up from a fellow TFL member:

Chowder · November 21, 2013, 12:03 AM

Nice M38 Unspoken, I need to pick one of those up eventually to go with my M44. I also see its sitting in a wooden bed... what classic truck is it riding in?

TMW89 · November 21, 2013, 07:46 AM

@Mossy500, looks like you did do a good job on it. I like it

@Unspoken, the m38 looks very red. It looks sweet. Just a different red stain? Or is it just the lighting?

Judging by the bed strips and wheel wells, my guess is a 67-72 Chevy/GMC pickup.

Unspoken · November 21, 2013, 10:45 PM

Nathan knows his classics! That's a '69 Custom10.
The M38 really is that stunningly deep mahogany red, I've never seen one quite like it. It's also a chopped down 91/30 (no, it's not a 91/59). When you disassemble the stock, on the underside of the receiver, you can see the original serial number of the donor 91/30. Very handy and fun little carbine.

Nice , love the stock riser

TnTnTn · December 6, 2013, 07:29 AM

This is a MN that a friend gave to me a few years ago. It has a 1943 date on the barrel along with the 'hammer and sickle' commie stamp. It is arsenal refinished as new with a perfect bore. I think it is a M38- I'm not very familiar with the MN variants.

Duzell · December 6, 2013, 11:06 AM

looks to be in good shape, take care of and it will do so in kind

tobnpr · December 6, 2013, 07:44 PM

Yep- looks to be an M38 carbine (first issued 1938). They were fornon-front line troops that (presumably) didn't need a bayonet.

Duzell · December 9, 2013, 11:42 AM

i wonder whose mosin is the oldest...

mines 1931

Todd1700 · December 14, 2013, 07:27 AM

My Finnish M-39 B barrel

My Finnish M-28

Josh Smith · December 14, 2013, 01:25 PM

I apologize in advance for the screw heads; they were taken apart literally hundreds of times. I've since replaced them and found a proper bit for my torque wrench that will not cause damage to the new ones, even over the long-term!

Front view of the prototype that started my business...

... and the rear.

The action is shimmed and the barrel corked:

I also made some cool things like a two-stage Finn M39-style trigger. Instead of pins, it has bearings

Josh Smith · December 14, 2013, 01:26 PM

You can barely see a couple bearings under the sear.

This rifle is capable of this (or rather, I'm capable of doing this, with my 20/55 sight; I'm sure the rifle's much better):

I had to work for that group, but as long as I have a target I can see, I can do about that. I take coyotes at 200 yards. That's about as far as I can see, uncorrected.

I know what these rifles can do and I love to see folks wring them out. Heck, a Finnish M39 had to have at least a 1.3MOA capability to be accepted into service!

Josh

Duzell · December 16, 2013, 11:46 AM

sounds fair and good. the groupings are good and its not an issue, a few people have to get "replacement" parts on their mosin to function correctly. (screws, stock ect)

it looks in good condition, i personally like the 9130's look more than the m44.they look more streamlined and do not have the mechanism for the bayonet on the side. the longer barrel dose make them heavy but that can be good for balistics

Devdev08 · December 17, 2013, 03:28 PM

I just want to bring everyone's attention to this

Picked this 1915 PTG a few weeks back at the local pawn shop. Haven't shot it yet but plan to here shortly. I've since got a handguard for it.

Duzell · December 18, 2013, 11:41 AM

@dev, thats interesting, but i feel disrespectful to the gun

@Vtx, i like the look, have you gotten all the cosmo out yet? i find that is the main annoyance when you first get one
