Threading Mosin for brake, & other mosin stuff.

[Windsor]

Do you have a picture?

Added this today. Nice doesn't begin to describe the trigger.

I glanced though the first few pages and did not see it, sorry if its in there but

What is the thread size and pitch you are using? The standard .30 cal 5/8 x 24?

 

[Windsor]

Chipped right behind the front sight, it uses m15x1. 5/8x 24 is the thread I am using chopped to 20".

 

[IronMonster]

So you have the gear for the 5/8 x 24? I have a M44 I would like to do in 5/8 x 24

I don't yet. I plan on getting the die and TAT late next month when after I get my second surgery done in Portland (VA pays per mile and I'll have enough extra to buy the parts). I may get it sooner if I can swing it, I'll let you know when I get it.

 

[IronMonster]

Send me the links on what your thinking of getting?

 

[Windsor]

CNC warrior is where I will be getting them. I could get the die a little cheaper on ebay, but the TAT is cheaper at CNC. I'd just rather get them both from the same place.

I just ordered both. Your welcome to borrow them rather than buy your own or if you just want to get to it before you can buy your own.

Thanks

I'm so close to getting this for both of mine.

Finally got around to putting rounds through mine. Noticeable recoil reduction, yes. Noticeable flash reduction, sort of.

Thanks for the offer. You need to borrow the handle? Or did you order that also?
Reno, cheapest I found the timney was on ebay for ~$99 shipped.

 

[IronMonster]

I have a handle

I went ahead and removed the adapter. I got a set of UTG medium height 1" rings for airgun/.22 cal. They fit the Mosin fairly well, but they do leave a fairly good gap between the base and the "rail". They do lock in really well, so I will bed the rings with JB Weld. The front ring has a stop pin, so I drilled the rifle to match. As it is, the scope is a bit lower than it was with the adapter, so I am happy.

Rifle 2 in the works. RSI mount installed and bedded. Got the Simmons White Tail Classic set up on it, so I will see how they hold up to the 7.62x54r. Decided to see if it has any issues with deflection before I thread it for the brake, that way if it is deflecting I can shorten it up before doing the work. The scout setup doesn't have a problem with targets at 400, other than seeing them. So, with the higher power scope, I should be good for that plus more.

 

[IronMonster]

Pretty happy with how mine turned out. You guys inspired me! It doesn't in the pic but now has its brake threaded in place.

 

[Windsor]

Nice. My iPod isn't lettin me zoom in, is your magazine detachable or is it fixed?

 

[Windsor]

Stock and trigger added. Had to do a bit of clearancing on the stock to get it mounted, but it fits well now. Just need to order a bolt handle.

 

[IronMonster]

Nice. My iPod isn't lettin me zoom in, is your magazine detachable or is it fixed?

Well, it is detachable, but not really. It is just an extension of the factory 5 round spot making it 10

 

[Windsor]

That's what I was thinking. Looked like there was a latch by the trigger guard, so wasn't completely sure.

 

[IronMonster]

there is a latch and it will swing down, but you cant have it out of the gun loaded
