Need to find reciever for mosin 91/30

[Jamesconn]

I found this parts kit for the 91/30 that has everything not just rifle parts but bayonet and cleaning kit etc but the company has to take out the receivers where can I get one.

I too have looked and looked for a reciever to build up with a 7.62x54R Czech machine gun barrel that i traded into but have found that unless you find one face-to-face like at a gun show or a shop then the cost plus shipping and then plus FFL transfer fees at your end result in a cost equal or greater to a whole "surplus" rifle ... trust me, I'm frugal and thorough, and thoroughly frustrated that I couldn't find the deal I'd hoped for.

I'm not trying to rain on your idea, it's just a narrow range between parts to assemble and the price of a workable rifle whole.

that said, keep an eye out for a bubba'd up rifle or a rifle with a "sewer pipe" bore and [B]deal it down [B]since you really only need the receiver...

(I ended up scooping up another rifle from Fleet Farm up here in MN (on sale every couple of weeks it seems) and the take-off barrel is off to my machinist buddy to get turned down into a full length 7.62X25 barrel insert for my break action 20g.)

Its not that difficult to find an old sporterized Mosin Nagant with shot out or badly corroded bore priced fairly cheap. Even the worst shot and corroded out pre WW1 Tula I once worked on still had an excellent receiver.
That rifle had a bore so badly corroded that when the owner asked me to cut it back to improve accurracy The cut sections showed the bottom of the groves were a brush like mass of needle thin shreds of steel with spaces in between packed with burned in carbon fouling. The grooves had rusted out deeper and deeper till dangerously close to the outside.
Suprizingly the cut down barrel and mild handloads proved exceptionally accurate.

Find a donor rifle. It will serve two purposes, building a rifle the way you want it, and getting a potentially dangerous rifle out of circulation. Any salvageable parts can be kept as spares or sold to defray expenses.

you can buy a complete rifle cheaper than the kit
