I found some in Europe when I was looking over a year ago, can't remember where though. I'll have another look

Its a Mosin, take it to your local blacksmith to belt three shades of out of it - soon be back up and running! Just tie it to a tree, with a long piece of string on the trigger first to "proof test it".

Joking aside, could a gunsmith give it a "tweak" back, how bad is it, any pics??

I am still staggered that two little people could bend the barrel, are you sure it was not bent already?

I will post pics when I get in.

It was not bent before that I know. The two culprits are only 6 and 7 as well.

'Tis only bent a little as well.

Bend Vintovka Mosina barrel back by placing between track links of Glorious T-34 ussrflag

On a serious note bend it back and try shooting it......really, give it a go :good:

Walther Lothar polygonal rifled, stainless barrel.

Hard and tough as the parent action, pretty corrosion resistant too so you can shoot cheap milsurplus canned bangs.

Accurately.

..mmm, I have been quoted around £600 for a fitted border barrel.

As much as I would like one fitted, £600 for a fitted barrel on a Mosin is a tall order.....mmm more searching to do teanews

Thank you for the suggestions thou

Regards
