Personally I would have left a beautiful russian piece of history in original condition, but to each his own. In your case, for sure if you are putting a scope ontop of it, opt for the PU sniper turned down bolt if you can find one. My Russian PU sniper bolt is as smooth as a Krag Jorgensen bolt. Also, if possible to add onto a mosin, a Dragunov SVD flash hider would top it off. Good luck with her, very nice rifles.

If you are looking for an investment nagant to leave alone, look for a rare variant. A hex Tula is not that rare, and the prices are not a whole lot more than the lessers. If you are seriously looking into collecting nagants and have the coin, look for a Finnish nagant, or a WWI era, or odd manufacturer like remington, westinghouse, chatellerault, spanish civi war, etc. Go to guide is 7.62x54R.net if you want to collect mosins. Beautiful guns, tough as an AK, and light on the pocket to collect. Good luck to ya.

If you have the coin, get an authentic Vasily Zaytsev type PU sniper mosin. They are a thing of beauty.
