Yesterday's Find

Post by 100Acre »

Yesterday I went to look at another Hex VKT M91 from 1940. I already have a couple of other VKT's so I wasn't thinking I was all that excited, but I got there and looked at it, I found that it was in good condition with matching receiver and barrel numbers. The bolt didn't match, although it was numbered 533 and is a Tula from the little hammer on it. The baseplate is blank and the barrel itself is dark but the rifling looks ok. It is a lowish number though considering it's the 1st year they were made at VKT. Another great thing about my visit was finding 7 spam cans for sale for a good price but not the price written on the spam cans. So I bought them all... :mrgreen: They had another cool toy but I'll post that elsewhere.
It appears my pix are loading sideways again...

Good haul!
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.

That sideways pic thing must be on your end. At least this time half of them looked right side up. Good haul!
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
