Dirt.

I just called, and while my Russian is a little rusty I think they called me an asshole and told me to go **** myself. Maybe I shouldn't have called at 2am over there

thats because the Tula museaum was not open yet. the old guy will go to vault and check for you. have you tried a bribe?

my M44 came 1/2 hour ago. 1944 Izhevsk that has red shellac and is spotchy dark spots. as soon as i can figure how to resize pictures i will start a new thread on this 1943/1944 partial escutcheons on front and on butt stock. the bluing is perfect and no dings,dents or any other problemws like my MN M91-30's. has short cleaning rod with box with line on angle. no box with angled line on butt stock. has PW arms redmond wa. ny 7605 is serial number on barrel,bolt,magazine plate. the butt plate has line out and restamp to 7605.... very nice bore and worth the $169.00
