Look under Rifles/Surplus Long Guns/Russian 1891/30 7.62x54R Mosin Nagant Rifles or click the "Curio & Relic Firearms" tile in the Catalog menu on the left side of the page. They're all on a single page. http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?groupid=730&name=Russian+1891/30+7.62x54R+Mosin+Nagant+Rifle

Ah there it is. Simply a matter of poor web design. That really is an awful way to organize their items.

Any good C&R places in the Altoona PA area? I'm in Duncansville right now.

I'll post this up in the classifieds later but I got a really nice wood SKS stock for my Sino Soviet, but d'oh, it is for a spike bayonet and I need a blade one. Does anyone want to trade a blade stock for my spike stock? Otherwise I'll just sell it.

I know the painted stock is no problem but how hard would it be to remove chrome from metal?

There are a couple of ways to answer that. One is that it would be easy ... if you don't care what the material left underneath it looks like. The other is that it would be pretty hard ... if you do care.

Chrome is used because it's tough and it doesn't come off easily.

You can mechanically grind or media blast it off, but that is rough on the metal and potentially really bad for your lungs.

You could try reverse electrolysis, but that also might leave something looking pretty crappy.

I think that if I got one, I'd leave it chromed and count that as part of its history. It was a parade rifle. Collect it as such.

Only about 20 of these:

Are they built from drill rifles?

Probably from James River Armory...JRA used to sell them direct on their website but seem to be out now...they are in MD, so might be worth a phone call to see if they have one in the back. Atlantic Firearms has them on sale too, but these are Remington receivers not Smith-Corona:

http://www.atlanticfirearms.com/com...-rifle-armory-refinished-detail.html?Itemid=0

And yes, rebuild from recovered drill rifles.

Thanks for the info. For nearly the same price I could probably find a serviceable shooter that is "more original."

Try the classified section on the CMP forums. There are regularly posted ads for reasonably priced 03's and 03a3's. As for the chromed parade rifles… why? They will never have any collector value and after all the time and work it takes to make them shootable, you could have just bought a decent original rifle.

Yes, I have been watching the CMP Forum for three different rifles: M1 Carbine, 1917 Eddyfield, and a 1903A3 (or an original, high number WWI 1903). My suspicion was that the receivers on the current Aim Surplus rifles were salvaged from welded drill rifles (not chromed parade rifles). Some folks think that these salvaged receivers do OK, but I want something that wasn't altered.

Sportman's Guide has BRASS cased 9x18mak for $16.62/50. Personally, I'd go for steel.

Not me. I can reload the brass. You only shoot steel once.

I got confirmation today from Aim Surplus: stocks are new wood, other metal is "USGI spec" and the receivers are salvaged from drill rifles.
