New Guy Post

Post by Matt556 »

Like you guys I really like the MN series of rifles. The history these rifles have is amazing to me. I have several versions from an 1898 M91 to late 50s Warsaw Pact. My best condition rifle is my M1959. I've never shot it. I like all the WWII stuff. Hard not to like stuff that shoots 8mm Mauser. I'll figure out the picture thing soon. I'm here to get educated and hope I can help out on occasion.

Welcome to the board, the M91/59's are a special breed, they were built and then never issued so far as we know. They all came in looking nice, so when you see one looking like crap it's an American Bubba who did it.
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.
