Thought I'd take time to get another rifle up that I hadn't posted yet. It's a 1933 M91/30 hex receiver Tula. It has an especially light colored stock. As a matter of fact it's the lightest colored stock of any I own. Most are darker redish colored with some dark spots mixed in. It's a PW Arms import I bought from AIM earlier this year and am just now getting to it. I cleaned it a few months ago but it was realitively clean to start with. Overall nice rifle with a fairly decent bore but I'm still cleaning it and have shot it but not really for accuracy. It's forced matched with electro pencil and the butt plate is either unnumbered or the number is covered by black paint. It looks like it's not numbered. The stock is solid wood but has a toe splice. I also tried to cut back on the pictures but tried some different angles for complete rifle pictures so that's why there's a few extra of those.
That is on the light side, maybe they were running low on red that day, nice one
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Sweet!! I would shoot that till the cows came home. Nice "white russian"

The cows ain't stupid, they hear you shooting and they ain't coming home

Thanks guys. It's actually lighter than the pictures show. The lighting doesn't do it justice. Last minute decision to photograph it this evening. Just trying to feed the Mosin hunger.

Rifle, a shotgun is a gun
JYD---Thanks for pointing that out, I do it all the time with rifle and shotgun I call them all guns,even though I know their is a difference.
You're not alone. I get pistol, revolver and handgun all messed up. Just remember a rifle has rifling and a shotgun..... has a big boom! I mean has a gun in it. LMAO!!!!
That is one sweet looking rifle and the stock is excellent. Looking at your Tula hex still makes me want to add one to my collection just need to find the right one for the right price. So how many Mosins are you up to in your collection? And that is a great set of pictures you took there. Really displays that rifle perfectly nice job.

Thanks. I just decided to try and catch up on another one. I still have 2 more laminates to photograph and that's it for the Mosins. I have 17 now. If you want to have a look at them all in one place just go here. http://s85.photobucket.com/albums/k68/Mike_Kolo/ There's other stuff I've posted here too. I still have a another vz24 Mauser as well as a few others I have to post. You'll have fun looking at them. I take pictures of everything, but I'm a piker compared to a lot of these guys. They have some serious collections with very rare firearms here. These guys don't fool around. Stick around and you'll see.

You know I'm not surprised anymore when I pull one of these out of the box now. For refurbed rifles they're mostly fine firearms. I can honestly say not one has disappointed me. Oh and I cut back on the pictures. There's more but I didn't want to over do it. Gotta go, the dog has something treed.
If it was a possum it'd be dead, lol. They move to slow and she usually freaks out because they just back up somewhere and show her the pearlies. That really pisses her off but she's had them latch on to her face and she's smart enough to remember when they do they don't let go. She keeps them busy until I get there most times unless they can tree first. Either way they're dead. This is a grey fox or a coon. It keeps coming up to the far pen looking for a weakness in the cage or for eggs the hens have layed in the bushes. I saw something last night down the field but they usually haul out pretty quick. Foxes are the worst. They come up here and snatch chickens during the day. I've basically had my birds on lock down for over a month now because of it.
