I just pour tequila down the barrel and catch it on the other end. Make sure you have a lime though. Actually I have zero experience with corrosive ammo....

I haven't found a gun that wasn't fun to shoot! I also found motivation to get a Tula. A co worker of mine lived there for 5 years and told me the armory is "much better" than the Izhevsk ;)

I'm sitting here looking up what more of these marks are telling me and I didn't see anything on this backwards R on the stock. Can anybody shed any light on this one?

Very clean looking! Nice find

Well that's not good. Liberty Tree has them. https://www.libertytreecollectors.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=709&idcategory=17 You should probably pick up some headspace guages from Okie Headspace Guages to check it after you replace the Connector Bar. http://www.okiegauges.com/sales...

Well crap, is this a serious safety issue? Where can I get a new one?

Is the 53 referring to 7.62x53? I noticed the numbering in quotation when searching out 7.62x54r ammo earlier today
