Went by one of the LGS after my wife's doctor appointment to show her what I found so interesting in collecting MN's. She was more interested in the .38 specials revolvers (she wants one next year for her concealed carry). Yes, God blessed me with a great woman!
As I'm picking through the mil-surp I keep thinking how prices have tripled since I did not renew my C&R. Then I find HER!! A 1934 91/30 Hex receiver Tula with some interesting stock repairs. The LGS wouldn't let me take pics stating something about sn's and BATF. Anyway, she is in great shape. Hand guard repairs on both sides. But, the most interesting to me is the stock repair. It looks like a shark bite (best way I can describe it). Can't wait to pick the girl up in May!
7.62X54R, when you have to reach out and touch someone.
May? I hope that's a layaway and not a holding period. Good find, we await May and the pictures
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.
