“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Re: Very rare circumstance, but terrible none the less.
This is one reason I always wear safety glasses. How does one go about making that firearm servicable again? Just get another receiver?
Re: Very rare circumstance, but terrible none the less.
Buy a new rifle. I doubt that one is worth the trouble of fixing. If you look at the photo of the break, it appears that the crack was there for some time. A close inspection would have seen it, I bet. Check your rifles over before you fire them, is the moral of this sad tale.Drago wrote:This is one reason I always wear safety glasses.

Re: Very rare circumstance, but terrible none the less.
I remember seeing that back in March.
The stock is also cracked. Mating another receiver to that barrel would be a ton of work. That rifle is now a parts gun or a wall hanger.
I think that's the only time I've ever seen or heard of a Mosin receiver or barrel failing catastrophically like that. These old things are strong.

Yep I've seen this kind of thing repairing automobiles. You probably have as a machinist also. That was an existing break that finally finished breaking. It's been broken for a while and should have been found on an inspection. You can see where it was cracked all the way through to the outside. I've had to play detective many times over the years to nail down the reason for a part failure and that's the way they look. Dark on one side and clean fresh metal where it finished breaking. It's not only a matter of pride but the shops reputation is on the line in most cases. This time someone's life was on the line.

Re: Very rare circumstance, but terrible none the less.
Years ago when I was manger a transmission shop a customer had the case split on an old GM trans , think it was a 350. An inspection showed a defect in the original cast that took twenty years to finally split and fail. I guess it just happens sometimes though on a Mosin receiver never seen that before.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Re: Very rare circumstance, but terrible none the less.
Classic arms, among other places, have stripped MN receivers at reasonable prices so if you could do the work yourself you could make a serviceable rifle for not much money.($40+/-) The other side of it would be the fact that you could either a)keep it as is for a wall hanger and conversation piece or b)sell all the parts which would more than likely give you enough to go out and buy a refurbed M91/30 with all the accessories. Well, there is option c) just keep the parts as spares for your other MNs.Drago wrote:This is one reason I always wear safety glasses. How does one go about making that firearm servicable again?
