The musings of a cranky fifty-something on life.

Eighty

That's how old my new-to-me Mosin/Nagant 1891/30 rifle is. Date stamped 1929, and built in the Izhevsk arsenal, I'd sure like to know more of the story behind 50064. I just finished my first pass at getting all the cosmoline out of it, and am very pleased with the shape it's in. I've got more work to do before firing it the first time, but regardless of how it shoots, I'm happy I own it. Pictures to follow.
