Blood pitting and jungle rot, wow ! Thanks for posting it.
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.

I am going to take some more pics of the bring back T53. Whoever was using it i think had a very bad day. The top pic is the M44,1943 with laminated stock.BuckeyeSgt wrote:Is that a laminate stock on the 44? You need to start a new thread with each of these. Guys will want to see them.

The T53 is all matching with a great looking bore(shiny with strong lands). I actually took the extractor out of the T53 bolt to replace one in an M38 that broke.
So in a way it still worked after all these years.

You can find new extractors on GB, it's always good to have a spare as they are a weak point in the Mosin design.
