I like it. That stock looks slick. If I coukd spare the dough, I'd be all over one of those. I have a chinese carbine with an archangel stock and timney trigger. Ugly, but it works. I have a 9130 with a two way muzzle break. I really want to restock my 9130, and get the bent bolt handle so I can add my pu scope. Thought about cutting down the barrel, but I don't want to find a new break.

I am a mil-surp purist, but I won't judge you for your Mosin. It's not like you chopped up an original numbers matching German K98 or a Swiss K31.

Honestly, I wish I would have gotten a few when they were $70 so I could make a couple of projects. A couple, preferably a nice Finnish Mosin and a very good 91-30, to keep for the Mil-Surp collection and a few decent-bored 91-30s for projects. It's not like there aren't millions upon millions of them out there... but I can't justify the prices these days for a project piece.

Century has 91/30 barreled actions for $100 and PU Barreled actions for $180
