Thanks, I didn't take any pictures of it when I first got it. Wasn't thinking. Need to get it back together.

That seems like a simple alternative. Any particular brand?

Just a note for you guys having to wait to buy one. I don't know about Classic but SOG bought an obscene number of these. Indeed, and I would add to that, you might have some expectation of something along these lines.. http://i1381.photobucket.com/albums/ah226/SKhiSm59-66/IMG_0906_zpsehy5eds9.jpg ...

Thanks for the links, WeldonHunter. You have given me something to read while relaxing at home this evening.
Looking foward to it.

You beat me to it. After searching around this forum this morning and watching a few youtube video's and of course they are yours, I concluded not to do anything but maintain them. Thanks again JYD.

Thank's, For the links and one always can't just have one. They are soooo interesting and no two are alike.

WeldonHunter, First of all I plan to to do the basic's, cleaning and making it look presentable. More of taking care off any of the imperfections in the
stock but that all depends on what we find. It's a starter for us since we are new.

The local Gander Mountain has had a rack full of 91/30 since before Christmas. Slowly selling a few, priced a $179, Ammo seems high also. Was in a local Dunham's and they have a few 91/30($199) and a couple of Mitchell Mauser's. The guy at Dunham's was trying to tell me they aren't going to get any...

I'm Happy to have found and become a member of this site. First of all I'm from NJ and will be accquiring my 1st Mosin soon.
It will be a father-son project for restoration purposes and shooting. Hope we find a nice one.
