I was told about a company today called Rock Solid Industries that makes Scope mounts for Mosin Nagains and Swiss K-31s. Does any one have any experance with this company and is there product any good? Mosin Nagant
What about this company MOSIN NAGANT. I have a old and abused (not by me) Mosin Nagant that I want to personalize. With a scope, new stock, and bent bolt. This rifle desirves a 2nd chance and i want to make sure it gets it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
And for you purest out there, I know this is sportizering but sometimes an old war fighters need to put civies on and relax after they have done their duty.
They are nice looking mounts, both for the K31 and MN, but I don't know as I'd drill them. Thats just me though. They look like they are pretty solid, but I haven't seen much on these mounts before. Surely someone out there in the G&G forums has some experience. You'd need a bent bolt too if you're mounting over the receiver too. Depending on the year, you could mount a LER scope on the rear dovetail after you remove the rear sights. That Mosin stock looks great though. You'll have to keep us updated as to what you do.

Wow! That wooden stock is gorgeous. I think I found where part of my paycheck on Thursday is going!
"Semi-inlet" scares me. I almost failed woodworking in shop in high school. When it says minor fitting required, it usually almost always means major fitting is necessary.

I'm not scared of a little wood working. I plan on free floating it anyways. I have looked at the LEF scopes before but the one that I had and the others that i have seen were not worth the metal they were made of. This is the first time i heard of someone else removeing the rear sight and useing that dove tail. We did it to my buddies M91-30 works great, but I am looking for something a little better looking. I will be reblueing it as well. I want to do as much of the work my self a I can. The only thing i can't do on my own is the welding. Never learned how.
"I have a old and abused (not by me) Mosin Nagant that I want to personalize. With a scope, new stock, and bent bolt."
Dave, while your desire to do that is well understood - I did serious mods to MNs myself, you may want to look at it from a diffirent angle.
Is it practical to spent time and money to do this to an
"abused" MN? It will likely not shoot as good as MN in good contition. So, what is then the whole point of your undertaking? Are you looking to have an MN based accurate shooter or something else, which may look good but still can't shoot as good as it should after all the mods are done? Remember, military always selected the best examples of the rifles to convert for sniper use.

Hearing that from somebody like yourself makes me think a little harder about it. I also found that there is an 8-10 week time frame before you get your stock. Makes it a little less worth it IMO. Maybe I will just refinish my existing stock. Being a 1942 Izzy, should I worry about any kinda of value by refinishing?
Hey, if you look a little closer at Boyd's website, you'll see that they offer the RIA stock in grey and nutmeg laminate for the same price as the walnut too.
I want that nutmeg laminate!!!!

You would have to give me your definition of old and abused. If it looks like crap, but shoots good. Then go for it. Otherwise, why bother. You want a hot looking bad shooting gun?

The rifle has a dark bore but sharp lands and groves, good crown, and shoots about 2.5 MOA with Worf gold SP ammo, the stock has cracks on the the trigger could be cleaned up but is useable. I don't have any pictures of it, of i can get some I'll post them.
Thats a good deal on a walnut sporter stock,as far as the scope mount,
Its better that the ATI drill and tap mount,but you still gotta drill and tap.
Their Swiss K31 mount? Well in my opinion ya can't beat the St Maries
clamp on scope mount,it holds zero great and can be removed and reattached with out loosing zero,and you don't need to drill and tap.
I will admit they do sell well designed mounts that look good,I guess it all depends on what you want when it comes to scoping your rifle.

Tha Dave i bought and installed the Rock Solid scope mount and wire welded their bent bolt on my first 42 Izzy 91/30 and the quality is excellent. But if i had it to do over i woulda put my money on a original sniper. just my personal hind sight

I have looked at the Mosin Sniper rifles and while they are very nice they are also close to $500 if not more. This is something that i want to rebuild and something that i plan on doing over the next several months if not couple of years. This is not going to be an all at once thing for me. The rifle that i am useing is one that I bought shortly after my 18th birthday as a deer rifle when i was short on money. It is pretty banged up, the stock is cracked in at least two places, and on the outside it just looks like hell, but still shoots well enough (2.5 moa) as is. I am not disagreeing with you completely but I can not afford that kind of money with a new born in hand. This i can get piece by piece spending only a little bit at a time and take something that is old and make it like new again.

Your doing it for the challenge of the build as well as making the rifle
look good. I can relate to that.

OK well last night i took the big plunge (no i didnt get married) I ordered both the Walnut stock from Boyd's and the scope mount with turn down bolt from Rock Solid. I should be receiving my parts some time next week if not sooner. The rock solid guys weild the bolts togeather on Fridays so if you order earily in the week it will not ship until the following week just something to take note of and everything is shipped in UPS flat rate boxes ($7 i think) to save on shipping cost. I'll try to keep yal as up to date on the progerssion of this project as i can. I hope there will be good news to report here in the near future.
Never learned how.
