I have an old Remington Mosin Nagant thats been cut down. From the bit of reading I've done on it, I think it might have been cut down by the government and used as a cadet training rifle. I don't know this for a fact but it measured about right as described and it has Izhevsk bolt and magazine. Apparently the firing pins were clipped and the followers removed from the Remington magazines to render them incapable of firing, along with the cut down barrel. My rear leaf spring sight has been removed, filled and ground flush to the barrel and my stock has been cut down and the cleaning rod hole filled and sanded down. A cheap old aluminum front sight was added to it and a dovetail was cut into the hex receiver and a pop up standard rear rifle sight driven in.
My thoughts and potential plans with this rifle are to possibly retrofit M44 gear onto it seeing as it is already desecrated. I'd like to get an M44 stock with handguard, folding bayonet, chop off that awful front aluminum sight and replace with an M44 front sight, remove the rear sight and replace with a rear leaf spring sight.
