Why change the Mosin

[Aron73 4]

Why did you remove the bipod from the Mosin again?

Because its older than dirt and was never meant to mount a bipod in the first place.
its was the placeholder sniper rifle so to speak
the gun itself originated in 1882-91 so going off 1891 the gun model is currently 124 years old.
the last produced Mosin-Nagants were in 1973 and were by a unknown maker.

A base (unmodified) Mosin should not accept a base (unmodified) bipod. I'd fully expect as weapons modifications become more of a thing in the future for you to be able to put a bipod on a mosin but not without some work.

Because this Mosin-Nagant is highly modified.

Everything on that gun is aftermarket, except its stock which looks fairly nice.

Picatinny rails on a Mosin-Nagant take alot of work to get right, and has to be done by a gunsmith

the ATLAS bipod uses Picatinny rails on the bottom of the stock which they do not make stocks for those for the Mosin-Nagant.

Now Archangel™ is a aftermarket stock maker which could be utilized to mkae your Mosin-Nagant TACTICOOL!

Lame.

This would take a gunsmith to do as well but you could probably do it by yourself as the Mosin-Nagant is a simple creature.

Thank you for the quick answer. I'm from sweden so I'm not to femilier with guns but my father is a hunter and use to have Mosin and he told me that when he baught it it was in an original state matter fact it lookt much like the one on the picture up there expet my fathers had a slightly larger scoope on it. Annyways it did have 4 holes on top that was threaded he use them after a slight modification to the platform of the scope (basicly a peace of iron with 8 holes in it to match the gun/scoope). But thats off topic as far as i can see on the picture the bipod is basicly screwed directly on the barrel so in my eyes not much of a problem for anyone to put a bipod on a mosin if you ask me.

[ebrim 998]

The mosin in the picture looks like a carbine version too.

[DURRHUNTER 597]

my fathers had a slightly larger scope

He probably had a PE or PEM 6x scope on it.

You would be correct, thats a 91-44

 

My 91/30 :)

[gannon46 788]

wait till the weapons building is finished the one where we can modify weapons and i'm sure you'll be able to do all sorts of things to weapons though i imagine it'll take tools and certain parts or at least i hope it does. and i'm sure folks will be around those buildings to take your one off mosin lol. i'm pumped to put a scope on that winchester myself get the autumn hunting jacket and pants and i'm happy as hell.

i was thinking it was a M44 but damn a scope on a M44 is just a tad to much, may as well buy a 91/30 sniper.

Look in the monitor, there is someone else in the room! Run!  :P

[Deathlove 2286]

All weapons should have modifying capabilities to an extent and if not directly than through crafting you should be able to modify certain aspects. Improvising and crafting/modifying weapons should be a big thing.

Is... is that your setup...?

[Mjones (DayZ) 48]

Question is, can you build that setup without help?

-picture snip-

Because that bipod is not the same type as the one in game currently.  The one in game currently is a rail mounted bipod.  No rails on the Mosin, no rail mounted Bipod on Mosin.  They had it on for testing purposes since the mosin was the only 'true' rifle at that time.  I would imagine if they add a different Bipod that's a clip on or non rail mount, we might be able to mount it on the Mosin.

I would have no problem with that all the holes are there so just put it there and tighten some screws. So annyone could

Then again how plausible would it even be to find such an obscure bipod for that gun specifically. It would make little sense to find such a bipod in game.

Well, that is it then, build it and post it on this forum. Then I will agree with you. 

Show me how you tap and drill, the whole setup.

[Aron73 4]

Well if we talking sweden not a shance matter fact you would prob not even find a gun anny where that you would not have to put together in several stepps before using it but then we have the US you would prob everything you need in the local wallmart. Now yes i know this is in the USSR and I have no idea how the gun laws are over there but if annything like the US then again you prob find everything you need in the local store

again the holes are allready there but its fun that you ask me consithering I do have the education to drill holes aqnd even use CNC machines

Proving my point. General public (USA aside) have zero knowledge about guns, mounting optics to guns that have no factory rails; let alone getting it to hold zero.

You neither have the know how nor the material.

i was going off 7.62x54mmR.net so i was probably wrong

I don't think they made new production mosins. They do re-arsenal old mosins for export.

Yep, Russia refurbed obsolete guns dipped them in a foul smelling grease called cosmline an warehoused them just in case. Any that they could export and sell to sportsmen or whoever they have been cashing them in for 30 or so years. I got a sweet SKS and an 880 round sardine can of 1970s ammo for a little over two hundred bucks a few years ago.
