I used to have a similar rifle made from a VZ 98/22. The muzzle blast with Turk ammo was impressive to say the least. I swear the turks put something in the powder to enhance the flash. My brother had a G33/40 that we shot a ton of that ammo out of and the muzzle flash/blast was memorable to say the least. |
Can't wait for the range report and vid

I was thinking of doing something like that to a 91/30, only not quite as short of barrel. Looks cool! Mark Why not just buy an M44? Because they're averaging $400 now? I wouldn't touch a M44 for $400, and their one of my favorite models of Mosin-Nagant. http://www.wideners.com/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=7006&dir=700|701|1029 Especially not when Wideners still has them for $235. (And I think that's FAR closer to market, if still a bit high) |

You could actually get a 91/30 and go shorter than a 44 couldnt you? Im unsure of the 44's barrel length Couldn't see why not. I think several are owned by people who are members here. I recall seeing at least two that are almost certainly shorter than a M44. |
