The last thing I'd going to use is any of that kind of 'herb' It's funny at work I drink coffee, at home tea. Now if a bunch of people that drink coffee are over, I'll brew up a pot, but when it's just me drinking it, I won't bother making a pot at home. The Mrs won't touch it.
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

That's because tea actually has theophylline instead of caffeine. Or at least very, very little real caffeine.

And chocolate has theobromine.

They're all chemical "brothers" so to speak. Not exactly the same, but damn closely related. But caffeine is the one that has the worst buzz saw type edge, so it has the worst reputation in the medical community.

Theophylline is the isolate that is often used to treat bronchial patients, so an effective very early hedge against lung problems (for some patients - I ain't your doctor) is tea and dark chocolate.

Seems I self medicated when I had Bronchitis and never knew it :) Still took the horse pills to cure it in the end.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Didn't somebody say something about pics a while ago? Because there's a very definite lack of pics with this thread! :wink:

The wartime finish Mosins really feel like they mean business. Nothing pretty about them - you can tell the people who made them were just thinking about getting it right enough to get out the door and go shoot some Nazis.

Looking forward to seeing photographic evidence of your new friend!

I stopped by my local Fleet Farm right away on Sunday when I learned they were on sale. They had mostly 42 and 43 Izhevsk's. I am looking for a 40 or 41. There was a 41, but it was electropenciled. They did unbox two while I was waiting but, of course, they were both 43's, one had a really rough receiver and interesting stock repairs but I figured the warden would have killed me if I brought home a duplicate......
