Has the stock been refinished? Looks kinda shiny, but that might just be the pics...

Still, an absolute steal at $30.

Even if I had your bank numbers Brad, you'd be perfectly safe. Just be careful leaving the keys to your safe out in the open :mrgreen:

I saw the serial number too at first and my gut said Tikka then I saw the same thing as you. And well that over rode my first though because of the visual I guess. Was this a test? :D :lol:

He would be safe because he wipes it out every week buying something or 4. :lol: :lol:

I am guilty as charged as too the bank wipe out. But i don't think i can hold a candle to MN. :no: :no: What is your record for firearms in a month Cliff? I think i did 3 in january and 2 or 3 in feb and just 2 this month. I blame Pacanis for the burst in march though cause he mentined bundleing as the way to go when purchasing. :lol: :lol:

:oops:

Well, technically, I bought 11 firearms in December, but there was a mix of .22s and a 12 ga. pump in the mix. 7 of them were in one day, man that was fun :)

When I came home with 4 one time the wife was not too happy. Damn Cliff, 11 in a month I think Brad does that in two weeks. Pretty sad. :D :D

haha you guys did but that's ok. I appreciate all the help I can get! I thought I had posted a response but I guess it didn't post?

I guess what I should clarify is that when I said I'm new to Mosins...I have several but have no idea what they are! I plan to post them all in the next few days to get a better idea of what I have currently.

I apologize about that one random picture, I have since fixed the original post to show the correct receiver. Again, Thank you for your help so far. You guys are great!
