It's funny how things workout.. I love trading, always have the thrill of the hunt and the art of the deal.. As some might remember I picked up a Bubba 91/30 about a week ago.. My intentions were to restore it back to as close to original as I could.. However plans change, and on another corner of the Internet I found a guy looking to turn a Mosin Into a bubba.. Long story short I sold him my Bubba at a good profit to me. So what should I do with my new found profits, buy another Mosin of corse.. So I went over to a store I knew had a few t53's a few weeks ago.. One was left, and while it may not have been my first choice it being my only choice, I purchased it. Total actual money spent (after the purchase, sale, etc) around $90 !! ;)
So I have a t53, the stock is full of "character" lots of stamp marks (pics to come soon). The bore is probably the shiniest of any mosen I have ever seen. The rifling is all there, but not as tall as I would have liked to see. All and all it was a great day !! Now to shoot fire !!!
