Prof's 1944 Izhevsk PU

Post by professor9 »

Many thanks to Racerguy who referred me to a fellow just south of Erie.

Here are photos for consideration of any and all. My first PU. I was out the door at 3/4 of a G for this specimen.

If the photos are upside down I hope they'll correct. Otherwise I'll reload them. I have more pics of the stock and such I can add later.

Sorry about the 1994 - I tried to correct the thread title...

Here are photos of the import markings. Prof

Glad you picked it up. That was a pretty darn good deal. Should be a good shooter!

Nice rifle, what's wrong with the title ? Looks OK to me.
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.
