STOCK CRACK MOSIN SAFETY RAR

(And it isn’t “hate”, despite my jokes about ProMag magazines - it is pure disdain.) The “hate” here isn’t because you aren’t brand conscious or anything.

So, add a Timney Trigger and ATI bent bolt handle & scope base $160. The Nagant needs a new trigger, scope base, bent bolt handle conversion, AND then you can price rings and a scope.

The RAR already has scope bases included, and has a good adjustable trigger. Moisin Nagant $120 (cheapest I’ve seen lately) + ProMag Stock $200. Chrome wheels don’t make my car any faster in the quarter mile, and a cheap plastic stock won’t make your Mosin a better gun.

If you want to buy this rifle stock because “it looks cool, and I like that sort of thing” go ahead. It has some fundamentally unserious parts on it, like a giant exhaust, chrome wheels, and a chrome shifter handle. Here’s a short list of things you could buy for a Mosin that will actually help you shooting it better that cost less or the same than this stock: There are functional ways to improve the shootability of your Mosin-Nagant, but buying this stock isn’t one of them. In fact, just typing that sentence makes me realize the nature of my objection to this sort of accessory – it’s fundamental unserious, like putting a giant rear spoiler on a front wheel drive Honda while neglecting any actual performance tuning. I am not so enamored with the AR15 that I can’t see a place for an old fashioned bolt gun in today’s world of rifles in fact there are many situations that I can imagine where I’d take a well trained marksman with a Mosin over a CODkiddie and his tacticalized AR15 any day of the week. Or, to put it another way: “MOSIN NAGANT IS FINE, USED TO KILL MILLIONS OF NAZI HORDES JUST FINE WITHOUT CHEAPLY MADE PARTS OF CHINESE PLASTIC.”Ī Mosin can absolutely be a serious rifle. Of course, what people do with their own money is their business, but as a consumer advocate I would counsel against spending perfectly good money on dressing up a Mosin-Nagant in silly, cheaply made aftermarket stocks and parts. Hanging cheap parts off your gun will not make it shoot better. However, buying a $200 stock for your Mosin is about as close to a perfect example of putting lipstick on a pig as I can imagine.

Someday when your time has run out and your kin take ownership they will appreciate those rifles more because they are a personal extension of you and who you were.

I didnt buy them to make money off of, I bought them for my personal enjoyment. I dont care about the value of the rifles. I personally refinish most of my rifles to achieve a look that is pleasing to me. Don't let someone else tell you what you should or shouldn't do, but do take their opinion into consideration when making your decision. If you want to refinish the stock for a unique look that is specific to your taste then do it. If you want to condition/clean it then do it. If you want 'originality' then leave it as is. When you feel you have achieved the knowledge you were looking for then start the thought process on what YOU want for the rifle. My opinion on the matter is to do very thorough research on conditioning vs refinishing first.
