Good work, but that is uglier than a bag of smashed assholes. View Quote Didn't you say that about my last Scout? It gets prettier when you shoot it! I forgot to add to this thread. I shot it yesterday. The one and only benched group I shot was right at 3.5 MOA at 50 yards. Way better than my earlier attempts. It's weird that I can hit a 3" wide steel silhouette head over and over again with a rifle that should statistically miss once in a while but I hit it many times without missing. I added a cleaning patch shim under the thick part of the barrel at the chamber to help support it against drawing down too much with the screw compression. |

I tried to stain a mosin M39 pink for my wife. It ended up looking more lavender in some lights.
At some point it was reposted in an "ugliest worst thing you've ever seen done to a gun" thread. |

Quoted: I started this build for my wife. I wanted it to be as light weight as possible with very little recoil, using the powerful and cheap 7.62x54R round. View Quote You put a lot of work in the inherent contradictions in your opening sentences. Very nice work, other than the pink staining job, which started well, & ended well, but not pink. Your muzzle brake looks like it would break ears. |

I want to see a muzzle blast picture
I'll bet it is obnoxious to be around. It is probably handy for clearing other shooters from the range. |

You put a lot of work in the inherent contradictions in your opening sentences. Very nice work, other than the pink staining job, which started well, & ended well, but not pink. Your muzzle brake looks like it would break ears. There is nothing contradictory about those goals. This rifle is 30 cal with the recoil of a 223 AR. The round is powerful and cheap. It loses a bit of velocity with the short barrels but I don't worry about that too much. It will still turn most normal trees into concealment. Thank you for recognizing the thought that went into it. |

While true, have you ever seen a Mosin Nagant that struck you as pretty? At least this one was done VERY well. The finished carbine doesn't look cobbled together, by any means. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

The finished carbine doesn't look cobbled together, by any means. Thinning out the stock helped to get rid of some of the clunky feel. The full sized rifles feel a lot like holding a thick stick instead of a rifle. The stock had the recesses for the pressed in steel inserts for the rear sling slot. I pried them out and sanded down enough to completely eliminate the recess. The whole stock is thinner over all. |

Nice job, and it looks like some good machine work on the muzzle brake and rail!

Your 'scout' confuses this scout.
That thing would stand out so bad that our ancestors probably saw it in the future. That, plus being the exact opposite of QUIET, and not very effective at quickly suppressing an enemy to break away; makes that terrible for a scout. Would be a sweet truck gun, if you keep something like Boeing Shield or some other rust preventative on it, and either clean it after every time it's fired OR only use non-corrosive ammo. |

View Quote I am not military material so I don't really have to worry about being an actual "scout". This "scout" doesn't have high capacity, but it is very quick handling for a mosin....or any bolt gun in general. It is small, light weight, and handy. The brake was a way to produce much lower recoil for faster handling and to allow my wife and daughters to shoot a 30 cal rifle without the pounding that they wouldn't take well at all. The trigger is the cleanest 5lbs I have felt in a military surplus rifle. It is most likely better than those 99% of the military uses right now. Your criticisms are valid. The "scout" designation comes as much from the forward sight placement as anything else. I have seen rifles for sale that don't fulfill Coopers parameters for a "scout" rifle any better than this one does. The proof is in the pudding. When you snap this rifle to your shoulder and pop the 6" square steel target at 100 yards with almost zero effort your mind might change on it's usefulness in a defensive role. BTW: It's not pink anymore.... |

How deep did you drill and tap for the rail?
The rifle looks great, but that kinda jumped out at me. The barrel looks pretty thin in profile there. Just curious. The work looks great! |

View Quote I don't remember off the top of my head. Maybe 0.130" or so. I made a bottoming tap out of a regular spiral tap to finish the holes to the bottom. I think I left around 0.050 to 0.075" of material at the bottom of the 8-32 hole. Just measure the barrel and subtract the bore diameter and divide by 2. Then make sure you leave at least .050" to .075" or more wall thickness at the point of the drill bit. |
