Anyone with a Mosin Nagant 91/30 Need help!

[Goatman]

I got one now and going to get two more when I find them. I was just wondering what stock and or scope setup yall are using?

Im also trying to get the recoil out of one so Im thinking of changing the stock out and then want to build one with a different type of stock.

The 7.62x54r cartridge is a a hefty one and will always have substantial recoil. You can buy a rubber buttpad for your Mosin which will help somewhat over the steel buttpad, and if the recoil is still too harsh, maybe try some of the 'low recoil' training ammo which has almost no recoil.

the original stock is the only good looking one out there. so I stuck with that on mine

and the only scope setup that looks good is either the PU or PEM, or even PSO options.

there are a lot of reproduction scopes out there that are really nice and not too hard on the wallet. If i ever picked one up with an unrepairable stock, I'd switch to a monte carlo. However, most of them that I ahve seen can be cleaned up to be absolutely beautiful. They do kick like a mule, but you can get a recoil pad or a rubber buttstock pad.

only from the prone or from the bench.

but from the standing or kneeling it's much softer on the recoil.

wow, i've never seen one made into a pistol. I prefer the M44 to the 91/30 and its even stronger. great guns though. heres a good sight if you do wnat to buy a different stock; http://www.mosinpros.com/

Hello,

When I mount a 'scope, I use a scout mount from Brass Stacker, and their NcStar 2.75x 'scope. I also use one of their ammo carriers that has a raised cheek rest.

While I enjoy that setup, I really don't shoot much past 200 yards and do not, therefore, need a 'scope.

If I were doing a permanent mount, I'd use a PEM mount and Zeiss 'scope, though perhaps a more modern version.

Pay attention to the Finnish M39 trigger, shims, and the Soviet way of modifying a sniper. These are surprisingly excellent shooters when properly set up, and they are capable of outshooting many modern rifles.

The Russians and Finns have won several gold medals with their Mosins.

At one point either pachmyer or limbsaver was selling a fitted buttpad.

Yeah I had a 91/30 and I just bought an M44. The recoil on a 91/30 is mild in comparison, not to mention the extremely loud blast it throws off.

I am a fan of the factory stock. I have owned several of these rifle ranging from a 38 to 44 to 91/30, in my experience the monte carlo stock offered by ATI is a poor fit and required fitting/modification in order to make it functional. I am restoring a 38 at the moment for my father-in-law, it is a vietnam bring home that is "custom fitted" in a M1 carbine stock (yikes). best of luck

All your problems fixed at one place. Sportsman's Guide has a 2-7x scout scope, rings, mosin mount, sling, and rubber buttplate for less than $70.

Here's what the scope looks like on my mauser (click to enlarge the photo):

If you just want a rubber buttplate for the mosin, mine is for sale along with the sling (didn't need them, just wanted the scope and mount) for $20 (postage extra).

Hi,
I have a slip on "Beartooth" butt pad that works great. I also have used the training ammunition from SG Ammo. It has a 42 grain bullet (I believe that is the weight). Shoots great out to 100 yards but is supposed to be accurate to 200 yards. No recoil to speak of.

Depending on the rifle that you have, the original sight may be easily removed by driving out the two pins that hold on the sight. You then have a 3/8" dovetail. I then mounted a low cost scout scope using NC Star ring mount (Item# RB27). I used locktite on the mounting screws. I have run about 200 rounds through the rifle with no problems. It is a 1942 Ishvsk rifle.
