New barrel for MN 91/30

**jcritch** · 07-03-2009 01:26 AM

I "acquired" a Mosin 91/30 that someone has shortened the barrel to 20 inches. I know it has been cut because the saw marks are there. Anyway, the bore is black. My question is this, would it be possible to rebarrel the action with a barrel that has a .308 bore or am I looking at more trouble and expense than it's worth?

I know I can pick up another MN barrel, but how good is the bore going to be?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.
