Questions and info in regards to Remington 1917

Re: MOSIN NAGANT VKT 1942 8mm

Re: New Owner first Purchase

Couldn't find my camera last night but I was able to take it out shooting after finding a local guy that checked the headspace with me there, and free of charge at that...had a nice little kick to it, the gun was accurate I wasn't. I guess thats what I get for living in Iceland 8 years and not shoot...
