Mosin Nagant .45/70 Conversion

Post by vbrtrmn »

If you haven't seen this yet, it is quite interesting, these guys successfully converted two MN rifles to fire .45/70 cartridges. The rifles had to be rebarreled, if you've seen this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOjYro4w0Bc you know how hard it is to remove the barrel.

Well, if people can do a .45-70 Enfield, I guess a .45-70 Mosin is a logical step.

I'd like to see a .444 Marlin version.

Haha pretty crazy but why.

If they could convert to .357 magnum it'd be a winner!

That's what the Ruger 77/357 is for!
