I had picked this book up several years ago, and don't remember that I ever looked at it until last night. The book was published in 1966.
There is a very funny story about Russian inspectors in the Remington factory during the production of the Mosin-Nagant rifles. I checked Amazon and there are a bunch of copies of this book for about $2.00 plus shipping. If you are a Remington collector it has some good storires about the development of their guns, but as a Mosin collector, this one, short, story is worth the price of the book.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
