$120 91/30 Scout Rifle Project
I am a good way through my 91/30 Scout rifle project.
I started with a 91/30 Parts gun from Southern Ohio Guns.
The gun started in rather poor shape, cracked stock, 3" counterbore on the barrel, bolt issues.
Stripped the entire gun down, and cleaned all the parts. Turns out the trigger spring was broken and the extractor was bent in to far, which caused some issues closing the bolt.
Replaced the spring, fixed the extractor and smoothed out all the trigger contact points with 600 grit paper. Also added a spring behind the trigger to get rid of the trigger play.
Then went to the stock. Fixed the crack, cut down to a sporter configuration, and baked it in the oven a few times to remove cosmoline. Sanded it down to remove the finish and recosted with 3 coats of tng oil followed by two coats of poly.
cut down the barrel to 19" last night and re-assebled today.
Now I am just waiting on the a 3/8 to weaver adaptor to mount on the rear sight base and a 2-7x pistol scope.
Cost Summary
Rifle $60
Replacement Spring $12
Scope $40
Base Adaptor $8
total $120

Poor thing never stood a chance...ontargetguy said:
Scope is mounted. I also sold off some parts to a memeber of the site for $20, so it is now a $100 91/30 scout rifle. Now to just hit the range.
