m91/30 fun project
« on: September 07, 2009, 04:37:45 PM »
ok i found a very nice bore and crown m91/30      i want to drill and tap it with a Kalinkina optics side rail     which accepts the psop scope


yea i know its not an original sniper   but i was hoping the rangefinder in the psop (dragunov style) would be good with 180 grain loads and make a fun long range plinker  and   in a pinch be a good game rifle also        yea i know   but i am gonna butcher one up at least i will keep it ;D

I like the look of the Kalinka side rail.  It appears to be pretty high, though.  I think that you will want a lace-on cheekpiece or you will need to make a comb to attach to the stock. 

This guy put one on a Yugo M24/47.  I like it.

If the rangefinder/drop compensator in the scope was actually developed for the Dragunov, it is probably calibrated to 7N1 or 7N14 ammo (about 150 grains at a touch over 2700 FPS, the 7N14 was, from what I've read, developed to improve the armor penetration of the 7N1, so the projectile is slightly different, but they are otherwise the same cartridge, more or less).  It may or may not work with 180 grain bullets.  Only way to know for sure would be to work up some loads and give 'er a swing.

The range finder in the PSOP scopes are designed for height of the target at range to 1000m. The adjustment drums are calibrated for the 7n1 bullets. If you use heavier bullets you will have to experiment and figure out where your point of aim is in respect to your point of impact when you adjust elevation for longer range. I tried the PSOP on mine, but decided to go with a different setup.
