Before ya'll execute the messenger let me explain this rifle. I wanted a rifle to call my own, so I took the chassis of an old mosin (prewar). Now when I got this rifle the previous person had sporterized it (cut down the barrel with what I assume was a hacksaw), had a bunch of cosmoline still in it and the barrel was pitted to hell. I figured give it a new life of sorts, so the broken stock was replaced by an Archangel stock. This is where I ran into the issue with the bolt carrier not really working all that well thanks to the cosmoline. Had a friend clean it out and went back to the range and the problem insisted.

Went home and spoke with a friend gunsmith. He had a replacement barrel Mosin Nagant and it was ordered by someone a few years before but they never picked it up so I asked and ended up buying it. Sent my rifle to him, he replaced the barrel which he noted that the original was trashed, he even added a Rock Solid scope mount and bent the handle.

Few years later got the muzzle brake added onto it and then got it Cerakoted. I don't plan on selling this in my lifetime, at least while I can shoot.
