[QUOTE="Josh Smith, post: 1104075, member: 25978"] Hello, The Mosin can be vastly improved. The Finnish Mosins are excellent examples. They used two-stage triggers and required 1.3moa or better. They did a lot of work to them, though, including barrel changes. I have a 1moa Mosin. It looks like a stock 91/30 but has a tighter bore than the average Mosin. I built a two-stage trigger for it (these two-stage triggers generally have more initial sear engagement than stock, and I consider them safer for this reason.) I've shimmed the action, the barrel has a pressure pad (cork, but it works), and it has improved sights. It will do 1moa with handloaded SMK 174 grain bullets. I prefer the Mosin for its ruggedness. There are better choices for some things, but the Mosin is sort of like my 1911 in that I'll grab it first if I figure I'll need that sort of gun. The Mosin is, in my eyes, a tinker's gun, just like the 1911 is. It's fun to see what one can make both do, and both are tough to break. It takes a certain type to appreciate the old milsurps that the shooting public at large does not, and I believe that type a bit eccentric, in a good way of course. I've enjoyed this discussion. Thank you. Regards, Josh [/QUOTE]
