    Bored and Needed Something to Do.

    Boredom makes you do crazy things. So, I must be insane.....

    I built a steel chassis around a Mosin 91/30. I plan to use it only on the bench at the range. There was no modifications to the Mosin except turning the bolt down.

    It is fabricated from 1/2" square tubing, 1/2" round stock, butt plate from a PSL (?) stock, 1/8"x 1/2" stock, steel bipod, 2- AK 47 sling swivels, Weaver mount and quad rings, and a Tasco 3x9 scope. All steel except the SAW grip and the scope. I had all this stuff on hand so it was a cheap project. I am cleaning up the welds and prepping it for sand blasting and paint.







    Well, I cleaned up the welds somewhat and painted the frame. Changed out the Tasco for a Bushnell 3-9x50.

    Interesting. I'm currious to see where this goes.

    Is it heavy?

    I'm guessing the frame is 4-5 lbs, which is good for bench shooting.
    Not so good for carrying.

    It looks like it would be a good movie prop with the rifle installed.
