So. I did some trading today with a local here in Ohio and scored a made by Remington Mosin Model 91 (not 91/30) flat top Mosin receiver and bolt. As well as a 1911 and revolver. But that’s it. No barrel, stock, trigger or anything else.
I am not in a hurry with this and have till next hunting season to finish it. I’m looking to get a barrel made for it from McGowen and need to decide on caliber. I don’t have, own, or reload 7.62x54r and don’t care too. I reload 45-70, 35 Whelen, 357 mag, and 45 acp.
I have seen a few people rebuild Mosin to 45-70. I don’t care two. I have a high wall and an 1886 that is enough for me. I have my Mausers in 35 Whelen and want to make the Mosin one too.
So, is the Mosin action strong enough for 35 Whelen? It is going to be a hog gun that I don’t mind getting dirty. Kinda save my nice mausers for my nicer hunts.
Don’t hate. I know is a Mosin. Yes this is going to cost more than it will ever be worth. But I don’t plan on selling it either. I love building and seldom ever sold anything I build. If these calibers don’t work then I can do 30-06. I have wanted to for a while. But don’t own anything in it yet. So have waited.
