Re: Went to two gun shows in VA. Look what I found!
OK, here are the new pictures! I took it apart and cleaned it. The bore is a bit pitted but he so would I be if I was a 100 years old. The neat thing is it has no import marks!!! This is my first gun without them






So now it's all oiled up and ready to shoot!!!

Wow looks great. A year ending receiver and a new England bolt body.

You have spent some of the best money I have seen around here, not even counting those excellent gauges.

The key is never add up what you have spent.

Very nice. It looks like your trigger pin is trying to skip out on you.

Very nice. I have one from the same year. I'll have to look at the serial number and see how far apart they are.
Congrats!

Thanks everyone!!! This is my 10th Mosin. I know with some of you that's not a lot.
I did see that the pin was falling out of the trigger. I lost one one time and had to break out the metal detector to find it. Yes my wife is very understanding. Then again she likes guns and old cars. I'm a lucky man!!
