Tanker Mosin, Bubba strikes with a vengeance

[sdh1911]

I've been home with a backache again and didn't want to completely waste the time, so down to the dungeon I go and start looking over the parts. After a day and a half and about 20 pain pills I came up with the attached gun. I might give it to my auto trunk if it goes 3 to 5 inches, if less that that it's back to the parts bin. I built it completely from junk, the barrel was already cut and I had to re-cut the threading so while in the lathe I put a 11 degree crown and a Turk front sight (I'll work out the drop later). Then I took a bunch of extra bolt parts and an old machine handle and came up with that monster (I love massive bolts), The wood came from an up grade and the receiver was bought at a gun show also in need of some lathe time. I put it together then slopped on a shellac mixture I use for blending as sloppy as any drunken assembler could do and put on some gunshow extra, sling, scope, etc and there you have it. I hope you guys get a good laugh out of it, nothing serious intended-SDH

For something built from parts, it looks OK How's the bore?

[Skippy]

Lol, I love the gear-shift bolt handle

Is that scope mount drilled into the stock ro the receiver?

[Stevo]

That really needs an Aimpoint on a scout mount.

Nice bubba, sdh.

Steve ....

I think we should put these things into production ...

We could throw in some pain pills with each one ...

Hope you're feeling better soon ...

Badger

Hey guy's I think I hit a nerve on a Mosin site, they kicked me off. I'll tell you no humor at all

Bore is at about half life with a newly cut chamber. I used a Canadian made scope mount directly to the receiver. Barrel is free floated, heck it might even work?

Thanks Badger, I'll know how things are going when I wake up tomorrow w/o the pills. Boy, I'm just plain scared of another back surgery, already had five, the odds aren't looking too good, but, at least I can still get to the dungeon and make rifles (if thats what we can call em) later guys thanks-SDH
