![]() ![]() If there is a way to capture that Vasily moment for me, it is going to be hunting hogs or coyotes in the Florida back country. The Timney also has a trigger block safety if you plan to use the gun to hunt. as well, so if you plan to shoot service rifle matches for old folks who need optics, it is a pretty good investment. The Timney can be adjusted down to 1.5 lbs. Nonetheless, the Timney was crisp and had no creep, while the stock Mosin trigger has about an inch of mild resistance before breaking in a slightly spongy fashion. under some of my stock 91/30s that I measured at about 8 lbs. It seems to me that someone had cleaned its trigger up some, and it broke just under 5 lbs., similar to the Timney as it came from the box. I put the Timney in the gun with the black scope that you see here, and the green scoped gun I shot with the stock trigger. The chisel was brand new and sharp, but tended to bang pieces out of the bottom of the stock, which looks really bad.ĭo you need a Timney trigger? That depends on what you want to do with the gun. ![]() I find that Dremel tools tend to walk on me, unless they are clamped down and the material is clamped down, but if you forgo the milling machine a Dremel would probably be a better option than the chisel. I tried to do it with a chisel and it was a mess, as you can see in the picture. I strongly suggest having a gunsmith with a proper milling machine make the cutout for you. That is why you shouldn’t even think twice about “defacing” your “original” stock by putting a Timney trigger in it. I strongly suggest that you find someone with a milling machine to do this job. I prefer to live the lie and let someone else put the scope on. If you make one you’ll have to completely sacrifice the illusion that a Russian sniper actually used the rifle, though. A gunsmith will probably charge you $100 for the work, so you can’t easily make one for less money than you can buy one. The scope itself has been pirated by China, so you have to make sure you are getting a real one. A 91/30 is going for about $200-$250 these days, and the mount is $150. Carve away a bit of the stock, tap two holes in your 91/30 receiver, bend the bolt and whalla! You now have a “genuine” Russian Mosin-Nagant sniper. Today you can buy them on GunsAmerica and Ebay for $150. The Russian PU scopes and mounts you see on the rifles here have been on the market for years in seemingly unlimited quantities. My guess is that these are not actual issued sniper rifles, but instead an entrepreneurial exercise by some smart Russian, or even smart Americans, who converted the rifles on our shores. As you will see from our accuracy tests, they shoot well, but not all that much better than a standard 91-30 Mosin with iron sights. As you can see there are two versions of the excellent Russian PU scope, one black and one green.įirst of all, don’t be fooled that there is any historical correlation to the way these rifles shoot in the movie. We bought two Mosin-Nagant snipers on GunsAmerica for this article. We bought two of these rifles, and installed the Timney Mosin-Nagant trigger in one of them to shoot side by side with a stock gun. Most supplies at the wholesale level have now dried up though, and the prices are surely to rise. They generally go for $600-$900 on GunsAmerica. Since the movie’s release, America has seen thousands of these really nifty rifles make it through importation into the hands of US shooters. He is far outclassed by his rifle, a Russian Mosin-Nagant Sniper model. ![]() #HOW TO INSTALL PU SCOPE ON MOSIN NAGANT MOVIE#Jude Law, who plays Vasily, is not the biggest star in the movie however. Yes there are some stupid relationship and love triangle moments, but the movie doesn’t stray too far from the brutality of a war that was literally about survival. The victor will, seemingly, carry the hearts and minds of the soldiers in the field, thereby swinging the war in the favor of the victor. In the movie Vasily becomes a national war celebrity, and is then pitted against a top German sniper. One of the best war movies ever made was “ Enemy at the Gates.” It is about the WWII Battle of Stalingrad, and a Soviet sniper named Vasily Zaytsev. ![]()
