“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.

Re: stock finishes.
I just called, and while my Russian is a little rusty I think they called me an asshole and told me to go **** myself. Maybe I shouldn't have called at 2am over there 
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

my M44 came 1/2 hour ago. 1944 Izhevsk that has red shellac and is spotchy dark spots. as soon as i can figure how to resize pictures i will start a new thread on this 1943/1944 partial escutcheons on front and on butt stock. the bluing is perfect and no dings,dents or any other problemws like my MN M91-30's. has short cleaning rod with box with line on angle. no box with angled line on butt stock. has PW arms redmond wa. ny 7605 is serial number on barrel,bolt,magazine plate. the butt plate has line out and restamp to 7605.... very nice bore and worth the $169.00
