RE: mosin nagant
Easiest to carry are the Russian carbines, either a M1938 or a M1944. The Finnish M-39 is the most accurate MN varient, IME, but is a full size battle rifle. If you are going to buy a MN to cut up, buy one of the carbines, they are very cheap and very plentiful. Please DO NOT CUT UP or otherwise BUBBAIZE a pristene M39. Hunt with them as issued for a challenge.
