Does anybody know a gunsmith in the Appleton/Oshkosh area that can do a safety check and determine headspace for Russian Mosin's?  Thanks.

I'll do it if you supply the ammo.

Really, though, there isn't much of a reason to pay a so-called gunsmith to check it over.  If you are concerned about it, buy headspace gauges.  The gauge would probably not cost much more than a 'smith would charge, if he even has 54R gauges.

Just load it up and hand it to a buddy and say..."Here.squeeze a few off" and see what happens.

Realistically... your not going to find to many "qualified" Smiths who would have a clue on what to check any how.
