Thread: High praise for my cheap-o Mosin Nagant...

I'll have to give one a shot.

This rifle has been in my family for close to 25 years now. It began its life as a short barrel 7.62x54R Mosin Nagant with iron sights and a full length wooden stock. Along the way my father did a trigger job on it (it has a trigger smooth as glass and a recently verified 2lb pull with zero creep, to this day he says he's not sure how he got it that way) and cut down the stock. Time and time again, this rifle was one of the most accurate...

Wow, Thats kinda sharp lookin after the stock change. Looks good.

What do you think of your PSL? I like mine..it's fun to go plink with. Not the most accurate thing, by far, but fun to shoot.

I picked up one at a gun show recently for around $130 - really fun to take to the range. I was considering this scope mount: http://www.aimsurplus.com/acatalog/M...ope_mount.html
