The ATI Scope mount (like the one they list at Outdoor Bunker) I have bought ...just have not installed it yet.... I am working on the bolt conversion right now (I handed it off to a buddy of mine that is a machinist). So when I get the bolt back I am going to try and drill and tap and see how I like it.
I have the short and long version of the rear sight replacement (waste of money loss of zero when you pull the trigger)... I have the UTG Mount (which I told Joe at OB to go and get LOL)... that locks in really tight (you will have to work over the rear sight for any burr’s or metal that has been dinged, a good C-Clamp is a must to install the UTG rear sight replacement … and I would really recommend that you remove the action from the stock (loosen but don’t take off the barrel bands and then three screws it is really easy trust me) that will make sure that the stock doesn’t get dinged or break on you. Also don’t overtighten the screws on the sight … they will break arghhhh.
Once it is in if you have a laser boresighter zeroing the Mosin and making sure that the scope is level and not canted is a snap if you get the scope leveler attachment for the laser boresighter.
I’ll let you know when I get the ATI scope mount and send some pictures to show ya what I did … if you can’t tell I am loving the Mosins … went a little nuts with them … I have three of the 91/30’s .. one original, one ATI stock modded and another ATI stock modded waiting on the bolt replacement. Then I have two M44’s (the carbines) that are both going in ATI stocks … I really like the carbine version and think that is likely what I am going to enjoy (shorter easier to move around the woods in).
Also, if you are going to be leaving your Mosin in the original stock I would recommend that you pick up the Rubber Buttstock replacement for the metal end. It really does a nice job at absorbing the kick from the Mosin … which is a good thump 
BTW … found this link this morning and it made me laugh thought you might like it as well.

Thats some funny stuff!!

LOL good find.

THAT WAS HILARIOUS!! The best part is I KNOW I am like tht with my ar. And I KNOW I am like that with my mosin too!!

I recently picked up my first AR and did the early doe season with it. I spent a lot of time at the range with it this summer working through different handloads. These are the results using load data from Barnes.
http://www.barnesbullets.com/images/223RemingtonWeb.pdf. I loaded 62grn Barnes TSX with 23.5 grn of TAC. I played with the COAL and found that the suggested 2.250 worked best in my DPMS 16" bull barrel. I am zeroed at 125yds shooting 1" groups. Muzzle velocity is about 2950fps.

These are non-lead core bullets (copper only). Upon penetration, they open up like a broadhead.

Results:
1st doe: Was hit by my son with his .243 @ 230yds and I ran a round out to help her down. Very comparable wound channel in comparison to his hit.

2nd doe: Was jumped and i put out 3 shots while she was quartering away at 80yds. I connected with 2 rounds, the last shot being fatal as it entered behind the shoulder and exited with a baseball shape exit wound in the brisket. She went down hard.

Conclusion: The first doe was further than I wanted take with my AR. The 2nd doe, although harvested, was not a quality shot as she was quartering and I couldn't get good shot placement. Additionally, it was WAY to easy to keep pulling the trigger vs using my 7mm bolt and forcing me to slow down. I would have preferred using my 7mm mag because we were hunting farmland and it's usually longer distance shots or we drive one out of cover. I am planning on using my AR this regular season in the woods from a stand where the longest shot will be about 100 yds, I will have a good rest and I can take my time. Barnes TSX are the way to go.
