Wow...

YouTube - Mosin Nagant 91/30 (NFA, SBR)

[Guest coldblackwind]

Ummmm....ok.....

[kb4ns]

What a waste.

[JeffL]

AOW is a $5 tax stamp, I'm pretty sure that's what it is.

[Guest kdud03]

it is definately an sbr. $200 stamp

[East_TN_Patriot]

The guy says he had to get the $200 SBR. From the back story I read around the WWW, there was actually a strange variant of the Mosin Nagant that was used during the Russian Civil War called the obrez:

What a waste.

Ditto!

[Troutburger]

Glad that's his and not mine lol!

How is it a waste? There are millions and millions of 91/30's. Who cares if he wants to spend more on his tax stamp than the gun cost?

Those are pretty much my sentiments, although I wouldn't do that with a 91/30 myself (more out of practicality than any sort of admiration or general sense of sentimental longing for the old Soviet battle rifle).

I don't see it as a waste either, but mine will have a buttstock and be threaded for a can. The 7.62X54 works great with reduced loads down to subsonic level.

I will call it The Poor Man's Whisper.

A waste? It's a $70 gun.

Russian Whisper? Don't forget to cut me in on the royalties when it takes off.

Interesting. Not sure I would do it, I would not consider doing that myself, 200 dollar tax for a back action SBR, no thanks.

However, I admit, it would probably be fun at the range and the and priceless for others to see for the first time.

Russian Whisper?

maybe Kiss of death.

Know it has been said many times....But I agree. How is it a waste? They are practically giving them away and still have stockpiles of them laying around.

Heck the rear sights on just one of my crappier pistols cost more than the entire gun.

When I happened across that vid for the SBR, I saw some others where people were showing off their "sporterized" Mosin Nagant rifles. One guy had to have put several hundred bucks into the thing to make it into a "sniper" version. I guess it's like taking a stock beater Remington 700 and building a super accurate rifle with it. I also saw a video of a guy who was hitting a steel plate at 1000 yards with his rifle after glass bedding the barrel. Pretty cool little rifle.

Those were made for close range assassination. With that short of a barrel, it is most likely worse than a 7.62 x 39. The barrel in the above model can't be much longer than 6 inches, but I suppose in war, you use make-do weapons. With the cut down barrel, no sights or stock, I can't imagine it would be much use past maybe 5 yards.
