A few questions on my mosin build

[.356luger]

So my mosin 91/30 is going under the knife here's the game plan: sporterize the stock, scout mount scope (not sure which I'll go with traditional or red dot), shorten the barrel to 16 3/4, bent bolt, and maybe a muzzle break. Also in the middle of shade tree engeneering experement a permanent mag extension to give it a 10 round mag. That will be another thread another day if I succeed.

Heres the questions.

Anyone have a good gunsmith that can recrown a barrel around indy?

Has anyone dealt with a DIY bent bold install? If so which did you go with I'm very handy but keep I mind I don't have a machine shop.

I May have Few more questions after I start my project I'll repost some pics at the end.

Thanks for your help ladies and gentlemen

You may need to direct a few of these questions to member 2cool9031, if its been done to a Mosin he has either did it or atleast thought about it,lol

I did this Bent Bolt Because I didnt like the look of the common "bolt on" ones I see a lot of. You will need a drill press and tap & die

Take a look at my album for more pics

Im also Curious about the Ten round magazine idea. Ive been thinking about doing the same thing.
