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 :big shock:

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! :thumbsup:

Thanks everyone!!! This is my 10th Mosin. I know with some of you that's not a lot. :chuckles: :chuckles: :chuckles: 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!!
