Jack,
This a great site, and don't be afraid to ask questions. I just recently got into Mosins myself and have gotten a tremendous amount of information on here. They are all very helpful.
Congrats on your first MN.

Welcome, we thrive on gun porn. One tip...put plastic sheeting on your keyboard. More than a few keyboards have been ruined by members drooling on them.

Welcome to the madness. Think about getting a C&R license. It's the most expensive $30.00 you will ever spend.
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!
