well i fashioned to slips of veneer 3 inches on put them in place. one on bottem one on top hand guard. Every thing is solid. Went shooting as well.. could hit maybe 2 out of 5. So im thinking maybe just go back to the Gun store and looking for me another mosin. I mean just 2 in there they might get lonely

Did you try shooting it without your shim strips? Do you know anything about barrel harmonics?

Take all the shims and other crap off of the rifle and fire it again with the action properly locked in place, these are 60-100 year old battle rifles, don't expect MOA performance out of them. If they shoot well alls the better, but 4-6 MOA at 100 yards is the normal expected from a refurb 91/30 of any year.

+1 Listen to the man please! Bill

Bill, this is just a little kid who got tired of playing with himself and came here to pester.

I have all day today! Maybe i can ask questions and then ignore the advice too. Hmmm. I want my guns to shoot bad, do you think i should plug the ends of the barrels and that would make them shoot worse? I have a target that is the side of the barn, If i shoot straight up in the air do you think i can reach the barn with my bayonet?

wud my work bettr rifle if i put it downside up in sotck then wud i hve to hold upside dwn ot shoot or shoud i stand on my head to shoot or what?

well you guys where right took the shims out. and conclusion rifle shoots really good

Hombre i'm 20 give me your # or address. ill call you up send you copy of my drivers license. How dare you insult me with such an accusation okay i ocd about this kinda stuff.

What is your problem ?

I do have a couple of these rifles. Hombre is old so he just automatically knows shi#. JYD knows all from years of experience with these types. It is funny what you may learn if sometimes you listen to people with experience

I am 74 years old so to me you are still a kid even if you are 20. Any way it does not matter how old you are - it is how maturely you act.

BTW If I got a copy of your driver's licence I would steal your identity and charge your credit cards to the max.

The whole point of having wiggle is to allow the barrel to flex with out snagging. I get paid well for free floating and it has always worked, Check to see if the pins are tight in the rear base-Steve

really hmm interesting why are soem early modles really snug
