I was recently given a Remington Mosin hex action from my dad. I don't know where he got it from, but the barrel was chopped of an inch in front of the rear sight and the bolt was shortened and bent. I want to build a hunting rifle out of it as long as I can get the barrel off. I have a machinist friend who can thread and chamber a barrel for me.
Build Plan:
Barrel: Shilen lightweight or sporter barrel finished at 18 or 20 inches
Stock: Boyds Pro Varmint stock
Trigger: Timney
Scope Mount: Rock Solid Industries
Scope: ?
Finish: ?
I am looking for some feedback on barrel length and contour and a type of finish for the rifle.
