Mosin accuracy is a relative term
I built a Mosin PEM sniper clone off a 1936 Hex receiver that I'm quite happy with
but inside the belly is a Timney 2.5 lbs single stage trigger, a full floated barrel with a bedded shim only at the muzzle and Finn style shimmed and torqued action
chamber was honed with a .308 Flex hone to clean it up
and I cycled the bolt in the receiver 1000 times with J-B compound to lap the bolt to the receiver
literally - took weeks in the front yard - click-click click-click - my wife got tired of the sound in the house and made me go outside
also match grade Russian ammo helps
that's a 100 yrd target off sand bags
Vasili Zastav only wishes he had one of these

Nice looking gun, and all great info! How did you know where to put the shims/where did you find that info? I know this is an old school technique and its a little hard to find information on. Thats a good looking gun! Have you had any issues with that leather cheek riser wanting to "slide" towards action?
