Welcome to the board.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Thanks for the links. The bolt assembly video was very helpful when I first broke it down.

Your welcome, I made the video because we had so many new owners having trouble with the bolt takedowns.

Super gorgeous stock for sure! Good grief 125 more? You got to go back armed with a list of things to look for. I posted this on another link so here is a copy and paste. "Look for a 41 Tula, Izhevsk 1945 or later, a DDR (thats one with a 1 in a triangle), MO multi dated, and always look for a Finn capture recapture [SA] and then look for ex-snipers. If you can find one with two or more of these features then good score!" You can print this out too and take with you http://7.62x54r.net/MosinID/MosinRarity.htm :pointleft:
