Aw darn, my hands never counted anyways. My wallet always stayed full every valentines till this one, maybe I'll get my gf a mosin she likes them.

So I know we all arn't keen on fucking with beautiful historical guns, but I would totally buy a mosin and set in this stock. Big plus is the magazine. And it's reversible so no major harm done.

Wow that looks fucking awesome.

If by "awesome" you mean "fucking gross, vomit-inducing, and totally impractical", I agree.

If you want a hunting/tactical/whatever rifle, buy one. If you want a Mosin, buy one. Don't buy a Mosin and try turn it into something it's not, even if it isn't a permanently destructive modification. Waste of money and it still won't be as good as what you could have got for just a touch more (possibly even less, depending how expensive the parts are).

Sold the sporter Remington for $300...ah ha ha.

Now what will I do with that money...it will burn a hole in my pocket in a bout a month..OH wait valentines day woops.

valentine's day is a capitalist abomination of a tradition that involved making your own hand-written cards, gathering flowers yourself, or otherwise expressing love in ways that don't involve throwing money at it. don't be swindled by that shit, bro. go pick her some wild flowers, make your own card for her, and laugh your way to the gunstore the next day.

ROSS' RELATIONSHIP/FINANCIAL ADVICE, HERE TILL actually i gotta go hold on

An addendum: make sure she isn't allergic to the flowers first.

And if by "I agree" you mean it's a matter of opinion you're correct

But yes if it's stupidly expensive for a $100 rifle then might as well just the newer rifle

Oh don't worry I already made my own card. Flowers is kinda hard in winter time for me to pick myself. I think the only thing she wants me to do is just take her out to eat. She is more of a simple girl anyways, but she loves guns which is a plus.

I'll probably put my money towards ammo and not anymore guns or save it for the next gunshow..been wanting a M91 (that isn't sporterized)

You can like wasting money on pointless accessories all you like. At the end of the day it is still a 3MOA rifle with impractically terrible ergonomics. Maybe if you replaced the entire bolt handle you'd have some ground from which to argue it's an improvement, but even then it's pretty dubious.

If you want a convenient rifle that handles well, buy one, don't buy a Mosin and try and turn it into something it is not and will never, ever be.
