📋 About This Mod

I don't like the pipe guns (not in concept but rather in execution) as such I have replaced them with what I consider to be sensible replacements.

Why the Mosin you may ask? Well I didn't want the rifle to be too good to be at the low tier (the mod its based on is great, the rifle itself irl? not so much).

Now as for the lore reason I have two.

First Mosins entered the USA in massive quantities in the last 30 years.

Second, as many will state the world diverged from ours post WW2 (though the P90 and SA80 series of firearms exist and are in the USA so idk if its a stretch for the Mosin to have made it in) but Mosins also entered the USA pre WW2 via Bannerman which is pre divergence and so effectually canon.

Various replacers exist on the Nexus but many do so by model swapping. This can cause many issues (some of which I encountered).

My replacer(s) work much more simply by changing the level lists, allowing for easy conflict resolution through changing load order to ensure this mod over writes and mod which changes LLs.

REQUIRES the original mod, it will not work without it.

Ensure that you endorse the original mod to show support for their work.

Also included a patch for ECO to ensure the Mosin is made.

Finally included a version with a slightly decreased weight such that the super modified versions don't weight an insane amount for people (like me) who play on survival.

Naturally these are all esl flagged esps.

For this to work fully a new game is needed.

While it partially works without a new game, as all new pipe bolt action rifles found will be the mosin, all existing pipe bolt action rifles remain untouched
