There was a black bolt rifle for sale here on the board recently, not sure if yours was in any pics, might have been but got lost among the pile of Finn's :)
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.

I keep the M44's and type 53's in the M39 vault now that I cut down on the M39's. That way I can find them when I want them sorta? Bill :lol:

You cut down on M39's? I have heard of cutting down on smoking, cutting down on high fat food, cutting down on drinking, but cutting down on M39's? How is that even possible, you only buy three a week now instead of eight? That could lead to serious with drawl.

Actually now that you brought the subject up I sold all the ones I was sure came from WGA! Now do we want to go any farther on that subject? I think not! Bill :lol:

M39's come from Finland, what matter would it make who sold them over here? I would take one if the man on the moon imported it, it's the rifle that matters, not who handled it on the way to me after it left Finland.

I have no dog in the Molot fight, I have no Molots, and am not currently adding any new Soviet Mosins to the collections.
