I got a Mosin-Nagant, from a 1/2 uncle in law, that he threw in a roll off dumpster when cleaning out an old house. The barrel is ruined and the stock is done. The marking seem to say it's a Finnish M39 made by Sako (I think) and has a barrel made in occupied Belgium in 1942. So, this gun was made for the "Continuation War" when Finland invaded the USSR with Germany.
So, I would like to get it shootable, but.. the problem is all the barrels I'm seeing are in the $100+ range, and the right stock (Finnish M39) are $70+. Could I use a M91/30, M44, or other Mosin Stock? Will a Hex receiver fit a stock used with a round reciever? If I replace the barrel, odds of finding a Belgian barrel, for close to cheap are near zero; so...
Part of me all along has said just go buy a M91/30 for $200; but now that I know I have a 1 in 50,000 instead of a 1 in 15,000,000.
Edit: parts are expensive, I probably could sell trigger parts, and bolt for (according to ebay) around $50-75, and then sell reciever to someone really wanting to build a "hex"
