Aren't Mosins stupidly cheap? At one forum I frequent, the same guy mentioned a local gunshop having a Mosin sale at $89 a pop. All cosmolined up and working.

They were lower than 80 dollars like 5 years ago, and that still validates his point. Even so, to some it's worth more to spend 500 dollars on a dedicated mil-spec red dot that can take a lot of abuse and will last you a long time than it is on two slavguns which are pretty much range toys that cost money to feed ammunition. I can personally justify spending a lot of money on optics since they serve a good purpose and can last a long while with no extra cost added save for maybe scope rings.

searched around for local 545 ammo, nobody stocks it. Think ill end up with 762 when i get one. Id just need an eltimak, a light in a vltor mount, a red dot, a new pistol grip and a flash hider instead of the brake.

Got two more AR lowers. Made by McKay. Was thinking about a M16A2 clone, would complement the A1 real nice. Going to do an A4 instead, easier to use on the optics etc. Got the 20" barrel and furniture on the way. Upper receiver and LPK will be next month.

It will look like this at first, then get KAC rail and optic in the future. So it will be A2ish for a little while.

The second will be in 300 Blackout. It will be a flat top, but no idea about the barrel. That build will be a ways on down the line. So it might change.
