After you spend all that money it's still a Mosin Nagant, right? It looks great, so how does it shoot?

Yeah it is still a Mosin and Mosins are good shooters for a "Battle Rifle" but it feels a lot cooler to shoot! There was no cost just my time. I am a Toolmaker and did all the work myself and I had all the material lying around my shop. I just did not like the look of the wood stock and the straight Bolt handle.

Well that is a mighty high face lift.  No doubt you took it from boring to interesting.

That's the best looking Mosin "custom" I've seen. That's great work!! ;D
Please show some more pics of that beauty and explain the work you did to it.
Thanks for sharing it. ;)

Thanks!  I would be typing a long time to tell it all but just a couple things that I did was to bed the Barrel in thick wall tubing that I cut Flutes into. This just gives it the look of a heavy Fluted Barrel. The shoulder Stock has an internal spring which greatly reduces the felt recoil and I also built in a Mono Pod which is really nice when shooting from a bench along with the Bi-Pod makes the rifle motionless!
