New Rifle

Pirate · #1 08-11-2017, 05:40 PM

So 3 years ago my best friend took his life, No I am not happy with it but he had his reasons. And we all moved on. I was not an avid shooter and had only purchased my first pistol 4 years ago. When I got it he said hey lets go to the range. I agreed. He brought all the guns he had, pistols, rifles, and shotguns. Basically loaded up his car. We shot pistols first then off to the rifle side. First and only one he brought was this Nagant... I loved it even though some kid who should not have been at the range knocked it over and killed the scope. I shot anyway. Loved it. Fast forward to weeks after the funeral I told the widow I wanted the Nagant. She said when she was ready I would be offered it first. Well this past Sunday she reached out to me, and offered it up. (must add she is a family friend to my wife still) I called AFJuvat and he gave me some ideas as to price to offer. I did, probably a little too much but I feel content. So below is one of the better pics.

Awesome deal. A new rifle is something to smile about!

Hey, it's missing the bolt!

LOL you win Pedro, it has been removed. My buddy did keep his stored weapons as safe as he could. The bolt is now where it should be.

So I have started looking into some ideas to maybe make this rifle even more modern and something eyecatching. but I am wondering after finding the stock I like and doing some research would I also have to purchase a new trigger kit? or would the one existing work?
Here is a link to what I am looking at. Before I hit buy I would like some input from you folks
