Depends on the 12 yr old. The 91/30 M-N rifle has fairly stout recoil, but no worse than similar caliber rifles. A good recoil pad would be worth considering, and, as always, a minor should have the permission of parents.
, It depends on the 12 year old. Can he shoot a 20 gauge shotgun? If so, then he should be OK with light ball in the Mosin-Nagant. If you reload, you might work up a load with Trail Boss to give him less kick while his shoulder gets conditioned. Josh Smith smith-sights.com
you can get a scope mount from ables ammo. It's the same for the mosin nagant 91/30.
it depends on the rifle. 7.62mm is the same as .30cal. the mosin nagant series of rifles shoot 7.62x54R. your rifle is probably marked with the correct calibur. Good answer. A 7.62 Nato or American rifle will shoot the 7.62x51 round or .308 Winchester round (don't try firing 7.62x51 round in a rifle marked .308 Winchester though, it's not safe.) An AK-47 fires a round called the 7.62x39 and the .30-06 rifle fires a round sometimes called the 7.62x63. As you can see, 7.62 is a popular bullet size!
