Only dropped once (that bent the bold as noted in the photo).

Smooth as they come.

How's about $50 in real monopoly money? :)

I'll go 75 Rubles in real "Kommissar" money and throw in a Party Card. See " boingboing.net/2014/09/19/review-kommissar-the-board-g.html"
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

Well, the guy that bought it paid $20. He says he thinks that is about $15 too much.

He actually fired this thing. Rigged it up with a string and put two rounds through it. Said it looked like a can of black pepper exploded in the snow in front of it. He didn't even clean the bore.

That bolt looks welded shut with rust, and what's that on top of the receiver ring? What's up with the barrel shank, looks oddly short.

A little Kroil, a spray or two of Lemon oil on the stock and she'll be "parade ground" ready. Might be a circus parade, but a parade none the less.

The Finns could grind down the serial numbers a bit, and freshen that up with a few spare parts. It'll look like they just pried it out of a cold dead Russians hands in no time!

It's easy to view now, because the bore is inside out.
