[QUOTE="hollywood88, post: 722439, member: 29309"] First off my uncontrollable impulse to buy cheap old wornout guns struck again today. I just got back from working out of state for 2 weeks yesterday so i decided to swing by the local gunshop this morning to see if he had anything i couldnt live without and there she was. It was another old mosin nagant 91/30 that someone attempted to sporterize and apparently gave up on. The owner of the shop hadnt had a chance to price it yet so i asked him how much and he said 30 bucks to just get it out of his sight. Needless to say it is now sitting on my work bench. The stock has been cut off at the taper but at least it is a straight cut,the crown is shot but the bore is shiny, and the front sight is missing. So my plans are to cut back the barrel,remove the rear sight fora scout mount, and try to do something with the stock to make it look less....lets just say sad, and quicker to shoulder. Ive found rubber butt pads for it for cheap and also found pistol grips for it but not sure on those. So my main question is without dumping money into a new stock costing 3 times what the gun is worth what can i do to whats left of the original stock to make it feek better and look better [/QUOTE]
