The thread about the Vostok Biathlon rifle has got me thinking...
Has anyone really ever investigated the potential of building a rifle out of a U-Fix-Em or otherwise unserviceable Mosin action? Barrel blanks are easily available, and just a cursory glance at Midway found some suitable barrels in the range of $80+ that would work well with the 6.5x54R wildcat and such like. We have (readily available thanks to Ted) the technical specs of the M-N action (thread angles, TPI, length, diameter) but the only variable is has anyone DONE it?
I for one am VERY intrigued...
