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.

1940....a year that has evaded me in the Mosin sense completely. Looks like a good one. At 49, you are only a little older than I am. Hopefully the years have treated you as well as they have me.

I like that 1940! Very nice condition! Your 34 Tula is nice as well. Congrats on turning 49 and a nice birthday gift to boot!
