You are re-barreling a Mosin to 308?  I do not think I've seen that yet.

Sounds like an interesting conversion.

Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

I'd like to re-barrel a M95 Styer to anything more common than the 8x50. Since it's a rimmed cartridge 303 Brit, 7.62x54R, or even 30-30 would be OK as long as the clips work.
I just have a thing for straight pull bolt actions.

A retired Marine friend has done a couple that came out right nice. I'm following his discoveries. It is a lot easier than building a 223 on a Mexican Mauser. First chance I get I'll post a build process in Firearms.
Take care of Soldiers, Show em how its done and do it with em, Run to the Fight & and hold your ground! I die my men go home! If you're a NCO and this ain't you. GET OUT! GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Please do.  I am a huge Mosin fan, so I always have something Mosin-related that I am working on.

Mosins are the roaches of the gun world..... not bad but good,  everything else could be destroyed in a nuclear disaster and the mosin would still standBig Grin lol

I like it ILya. I know the Finnish rifles have a reputation as being great shooters.
