A Jeff Cooper "scout rifle" project based on a 1954 Romanian M44 in 7.62 x 54 Russian.  Barrel was cut to approximately 19" and professionally recrowned.  A Huber Concepts Moslin-Nagant Ultra Light Black Talon trigger was installed.  A Jim Roberts "The Boltman" bent bolt was fitted as well.  The original wood stock was shortened and three sling attachment points installed.  For optics both a  MoJo rear peep sight and Brass Stacker Universal Moslin Nagant scope mount are provided.  In this configuration, using the wood stock, the rifle was shot on a couple of occasions successfully.  It was during the change over to the nylon Monte Carlo style stock that the rifle was disassembled into its current state.  Age has caught up with me and I don't want to wrestle with the recoil of this rifle anymore.
