Brian, I like the way you did the muzzle with the Lee case trimmer. How long did it take to do that? I'm thinking about doing that to my M1 carbine which has a damaged muzzle.

The actual 'crowning' only took a few minutes. My 308 case length gauges did not fit in the end of the barrel however. So I took an extra one, chucked it in a drill and used sandpaper to turn down the diameter ever so slightly until it just fit in the end of the barrel. the case trimmer had no problem cutting the steel barrel.

thats a beautiful looking build you did there, did you use any bedding material when you mounted the rock solid scope mount?

No, I just bolted it to the top. Since it has 3 mounting points it is really secure and I didn't think bedding it would make that much difference. Of course, I could be wrong

Finally got this out to the range today at the group shoot, ran great, I'm very pleased with the final product. Clay pigeons at 100 yards were no problem with cheap surplus ammo.
WAY more comfortable to shoot than my M44.

So after taking out the Mosin how many of the rubber o rings are left on that bolt handle? Great looking build, I might just have to pick up one of those stocks and hack up a 91/30.

I threw away the last remaining rubber o-ring on the handle. PS, if anybody is interested in the spare parts: PIF here viewtopic.php?f=28&t=34024

Well, I enjoyed shooting it so much at the New year's shoot, that I decided it needed a couple more upgrades. The trigger was incredibly heavy, and the thing jumped around like crazy after pulling the trigger, so here's my solution: Step 1, Timney trigger. Built in safety, and the archangel is already molded for it. Fit like a glove, nice crisp trigger pull. Step 2: I picked up a barrel threading kit from CNC warrior. Since I cut the barrel down previously, it was the perfect outside diameter for threading without needing to be turned down. Kit came with the die, handle, thread alignment tool, and cutting oil. worked like a charm. I plan to use a killer innovations brake when the group buy starts, but for now I installed one that I picked up from a show a while back.
