ShadowFire 220 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 That's an awesome rifle. Yeah I'd buy a "kit" for one (Though I'd want a different stock to make it more "me".) if the chamber problem with brass casings could be sorted out (I wanna be able to shoot everything. ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kmanator 45 Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) Well guy's,Finally got to get to the range today for more ammo testing.Today I was shooting some quality boxer primed brass cased Privy 150 grain soft point and some 182 grain FMJ's. As I suspected the previous rupture brass case problem was ammo related,These cartridges shot flawlessly with zero ruptures or deformity. As far as the accuracy the 150 gr. was all over the place and the 182gr was about 1 inch groups..this barrel defiantly likes the heavy stuff the best.Now time to dial in with some handloads...After I do my happy dance....kman Edited October 11, 2011 by kmanator Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ShadowFire 220 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Nice to know it's not a barrel thing. That would make sense though with the heavy barrel liking the heavy stuff, since it's an LMG barrel, it was likely made with that ammo in mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2ndAmendican 23 Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Awesome Kman! Now, how was the accuracy? Have you done any long range testing yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) Anybody else wanting to try their hand at a Heavy Barreled Mosin Nagant 91/30? Classic Arms has brand new 24" Heavy Barrels and stripped Receivers, plus other goodies for just such a project. The barrels are chambered for 54r, threaded for MN 91/30 receivers and have 60' target crowns. Just below the Swiss Milsurps on the C&R page. $100.00 gets you a barrel/receiver combo. Hell of a project. Edited October 16, 2011 by ChileRelleno Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kodar 0 Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Hey Kmanator what a awsome rifle!I am not a master craftsman like you to build such a rifle but would like a better barrel for my PSL as well,I have been looking for some time now and I emailed some of the sights mentioned in this forum but it seams no one knows what a PSL is or they direct me to elsewhereville.AllI want is a better barrel that I can in stall myself[i do know a little gun stuff]or with out spending a fortune to have it sent and have it worked on.Any help would be appreciated.I know also all these posts are old too,any chance you are in business for yourself?,its a stretch but it doesn't hurt to ask?kodargrisss@gmail.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sdustin 578 Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 About the only barrel I think you will get for a PSL is just a PSL barrel. This guy had to custom machine a machine-gun barrel to fit it. You also replied to a thread 2.5 years old that's a hell of a shot in the dark. But I'm glad you brought it back from the dead so I could see this awesome rifle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kodar 0 Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Well I have made some incredible shots in the dark[on the range and like this,literally]pay off.My PSL shoots kinda good at the 200 meter range but blasting out all 10 rounds without spending 10-20 minuets in between rounds you get a shotgun type pattern,my friend suggested I put a choke on her,ha-ha.believe me I've been calling and emailing barrel makers and threads like this for info.I've put about 2640 rnds through it and it seems to be not as accurate as when I first bought it and it looks a little rough[burnt?] at where the rnd starts in the barrel,probably from shooting corrosive[said it was mildly corrosive,thats BS,mildly corrosive is still corrosive] and non corrosive,but 95% of the barrel is still nice n shiny,it seems to like the milsurp bulgarian the best at longer ranges.I do have 2 mosins with the hexed receivers that are in excellent shape and are very nice long ranger shooters but I ain't a gunsmith nor have the equipment to do a project on that scale.Can you keep me posted if you hear or see anything?Many thanx!!!

kodar 0 Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 I know,I guess I'm trying to resurrect the dead,I've been all over the web making pot shots and hopefully one will pay off,besides you are here and this sight does have some saiga fans too[i have the awsome 12 ga with plenty of mags and ammo]I never give up either,been told its one of my faults>I check other sights every day too...

Sdustin 578 Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Buy a blank and see a smith. or search for a machine-gun barrel and make friends with a machinist. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kodar 0 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I might of finally hit pay dirt!another forum was big help!I'll post more info,they have them on their web sight but before I get too excited I need to know if that was current price and availability...
