Id like to take this time to blame Buckeyesgt for getting me hooked on not only mosins but guns in general... its all his fault....

The family expanded from 2 guns to 8 in a little over a month.... not I need to find a gun safe :chuckles:

Nice Tula :) Looks like you dropped some money on the floor there, better collect that up and start the fund for the next Mosin .
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.

Armslist. Nice guy I delt with held it for me for a couple of weeks until the govt decided to pay me what it owed me. Bought that along with an sks. How much does a typical ex dragoon go for if I might ask? Idk if I made a good deal on it or not

Nice! Can't go wrong with a Tula. My first was a 37, but my first hex was a 31. Wasn't an ex-dragoon though.
