Timney now offers a trigger with a safety so you can hunt with it and not scare away everything within 100 yards when your ready to take that buck. Take an old 98, de-ear it, spoon and jewel the bolt, Douglas barrel in your favorite caliber, Buehler safety, Timney trigger, a little lapping, polished blue and a hand cut English walnut furniture with ebony caps! Then you have a world class rifle like no other! A true work of art.
Heck his shop's foundation has hundreds of military barrels for rerod. Mostly out of Mausers, there is nothing wrong with chopping up an old piece together with a shot out bore. My father has been in the business of building and selling custom rifles for over 50 years. Man, you would hate to see some of my rifles. However, anyone who has ever shot a Finn Mosin can tell you it is possible to improve the stock trigger greatly.

then if the mod goes south, at least you've got a parts kit for your OG.īTW, don't believe anyone has ever offered an after market trigger for a Mosin. Frankly, I'm surprised there aren't more people doing it. and if you want to see if you can tweak 21st century performance and ergos from an early 20th century gun, then go for it. If you want cheap Russian ammo, then buy a Mosin. Kinda like saying you shouldn't sharpen the 80 year-old woodworking chisel that you found at a yard sale for four bucks. The cartridge was designated the 8x57 mm J Patrone. Average breech pressure was held to approximately 40,000 PSI. 318 diameter with a muzzle velocity of 2095 fps. Well, they're three days older than dirt, but I'd hardly call them "historic" and I wouldn't call careful and adept modernization of them to be "butchering". The rifle was chambered for a new 8x57 mm Mauser rimless, smokeless powder cartridge with a 226-grain FMJ-RN bullet of. (Climbs down from soapbox and gets another cup of coffee).
You're not customizing, you're butchering a piece of history. Leave the darn Mosins alone! Why in the world would you sink even $100 into "improving" a Mosin when you can purchase a new in box Mossberg Maverick in 30-06 on the sunny side of 2 bills? "Pride" of customizing your own? BS.
