Picked up a new(to me)Mosin...

(1/2) > >>

gsd:
Standard M44 (  Iveshk proofmark) from a friend who is leaving town.  Clean action, well maintained, and bonus, it is seated in a composite Monte Carlo stock. 

Pics to come later, I am tired and therefore lazy.

I learned something the other day at the local gun shop.  We were looking at some Mosins he had and another fellow mentioned that most of them  have the name of the person it was issued to under the butt plate.   Out came the screw driver and  sure enough, there was a slip of paper under the butt plate with a name and address on it.  Has anyone else heard of this before?

bkoenig:
I've never heard of that with Mosins, but it's fairly common with Swiss K-31's.

lefty:
Come  to think of it,  I believe that was a K31.  Sorry about that!  :-(

bkoenig:
Now that you have an old bolt gun you need to come shoot at the vintage military rifle match next Saturday in Lincoln.
