mosin bolt

[Jason m]

Looking for pics or ideas of anyone who cut and welded a new handle for sniper style bolt. I have the tools and the Tig welder to do it just looking for ideas.
Plus anyone have a source locally to buy good condition bolts. I don't want to cut up my bolt cause my numbers match and want to keep that way.
Plus I'm working on a scope mount welded to the side of the receiver.

I have never seen a bolt for sale in mass for a mosin

if you have not found it yet http://7.62x54r.net/

If you want it done http://www.mosinnagant.net/boltman/boltman.html
there are a few others but I do. believe he is the least expensive.

If you look you can find just mosin bolt handles for around 20/25$.

Being a welder and fitter for 18 years I can fab, and weld a new one on. My biggest question was were in mass to find a used one. I guess I will have to order one online, just was trying to give a local guy the cash.

Now onto scope mounts, did you drill and tap? Have to notch the stock? Or did you just weld a notch for a mount to slide into?
What's your thoughts on a front mount and a pistol style scope, this way I leave the bolt alone.

Pistol style scopes suck and most of the mounts blow. No offense but with a round that can reach out as far as the mosin can its kinda like shooting a 50bmg with a red dot.

The ati mount two screws is what I got it gets the job done . No mods to the stock needed . I'm runny a 4-12x40 scope.

You can get the real mosin side mount . Or you can get ones to work with ak scopes....
Or you can get ones that use the svd/psl/sks mount. .... Since most scopes for those are setup for 54r it's a better idea then the ak mount in my view.

If you don't mind removing some of the stock get one of the rock solid mounts .

Or if you can weld . Cut the bolt handle off.
Grind it flat. Make a new handle that is welded on the rear (not the safety knob /striker) weld the rear of the receiver up that milled open for the old cocking handle to pass through .
I've seen this a few times and if I wasn't going to run Russian style optics on my bastard I was gonna do this.


Easy bent bolt mod.

Buy a bolt with a short threaded section and a long non threaded shoulder . Drill and tap bolt(mosin) figure out where it indexes and removed and heat and bend .no welding needed . Use a bunch of lock tight to keep it from losing up. If you have a threading kit could cut the Allen head cap off and thread for after market bolt handled knobs.

I sent mine out to Rock Solid Ind. to bend it for me as I don't have the tools.

I've mounted a scout scope to the dovetail below the RSB with good results, and I have also drilled and tapped the side of the receiver and installed a repro sniper scope mount on a different rifle. The side mount definitely gives you more options for scopes, and is not hard to do.
